Quilt Gift Given

It was our 36th anniversary the other day, so I finally got to give my DH his present!

The City Sampler is on our bed and it's lovely.

His comment was that he always wanted to sleep under a rainbow.

Hooray! Now it truly feels like a quilt finish.
 

White On White

I've now finished the quilting on the B/W Baby quilt. Now to make some binding and a label. I also have to bury some threads. 

I'm hoping to get this quilt done before this weekend so my son can gift it to his friend at their D&D session.

A lot of the quilting design was inspired by the fabrics. I mostly used the walking foot attachment for all the line work. 

The difference between white and slightly not white is so apparent in this quilt. This was one of the quilts that I spray basted and it worked perfectly, no shifting at all, and no gumming up of the needle either.

I hope the baby likes all the texture.

Solstice Completed

Here is how the Solstice Quilt turned out!

My niece was very pleased with it, which made me very happy. 

It just barely fits in my design wall at 95" square. 

Here's a close-up so you can see the lovely work the long-arm quilter I used did for me. It was an overall swirly pattern, and it looks great. Highly recommend Minaret Designs in Felton.

 I'm so glad that I did this project, I learned a lot about accurate piecing thanks to Pat Sloan's great directions.
