Here is a little peak at the mystery quilt!

I really love how this is turning out and I hope Geri loves it too!

I am absolutely loving this swirl design too!

The copper thread is so pretty on the dark brown too!

I used four different colors of thread on this quilt. This is a close up of what I'd like to refer to as a chain stitch.

All my quilting is done free motion, no pantographs or templates used here, just me guiding the machine. I can't wait until this done and I can show you the whole quilt! It truly is beautiful!

Here it is all done and ready to go! The colors are gray, white, plum, and lavender!

Here is a close up of the outer edge quilting. Swirly feathers! I just love how this pattern looks!

The center and most of this quilt was done doing squares. The center block was squared out really small and tight, then as I when out it got a little larger and larger!

The thread colors used on this quilt were white, gray, and plum.

Another corner close up!

Here it is all wraped up and ready to give! The quilt is rolled up with sham folded over the top and then tied together with fabric scrap! Too Cute!

I love the fall colors used to create this quilt! I used three thread colors: pale yellow, bronze, and a variegated in brown, green, pink, cream. I love the colors!

Looking at the color scheme I just couldn't get "falling leaves" out of my mind, so of course in the creamy yellow I did lots of leaves!

Close up of the leaves.

In this section with all of the different strips I tried to quilt patterns that resembled the patterns on the fabric and used the variegated thread here.

Close up to see the patterns used.

Here is the back side of the quilt. Wanda used a very nice multi yellow flannel for the back. you can see the quilting patterns better on the back side.

I did repeat of the patterns from end to end to so no matter which end is the top it will have the same pattern displayed in either direction.

One last close up! I really think that this little quilt came out cute! I hope you like it too Wanda!

So this is the purple the sham, it really came out cute and when all sewed up I made flower ties for end. It looks sooooo cute! I will be posting pictures of the matching quilt soon, I promise!

Here is a close up of the sham! I know it is really hard to tell with computer settings exactly what the colors are, but they are grey, lavender, purple, white, and purple floral.

Another close up just so you can visualize the different quilting within each block.

This will be the inside of the sham, but the best way you can visualize the quilting patterns used.

Here is one of the shams that I did to along with the antique quilt! I really like how this came out!

Here is a close up, check out the boarder!

Yes, one more close up! Tell me what you think! Talk to you soon and I will be posting some pictures soon!

Each of these blocks I purchased from an antique store, put some teal blue sashing between and bordered them to create this beautiful quilt! I think the teal blue works great with the mix of fabrics already present and being solid in color really makes the blocks pop!

This is just one of the blocks. There are twelve total and each block is a 24 inch square, making this quilt a queen in size!

Here is a close up of the sashing. I did try to keep the patterns simple with a lot of dense quilting around the flowers to make each petal rise up that much higher! I used the 100% polyester (dense) batting by Quilters dream. I really really like this batting. This one is the heavy wt. and feels really nice!

The center of each flower looks like this. Nice and dense!

Close of the corner and feathery boarder.

More on the boarders!

Of course, this would not be complete without a picture of the back side! Did I ever tell you how much I love the back side of a quilt?????

Well, there is no shortage of pictures on this quilt. Please do let me know what you think. There is a lot of quilting on this quilt, but I feel that technique/patterns used and the boarder/sashing fabric choices have helped with keeping the antique feel of this quilt.!

Super Cute Meghan!

I love how the swirls pop on this quilt!

The thread used for this quilt was a tan color which looks really nice with all the different colors used in this quilt. It really blends well in some areas just giving a cool texture look and then in others the stitches show super nice!

Another close up!

Here is the back side. Swirls upon swirls with a nice pink backing and tan thread!

Close up of the back! Great job Meghan, I hope you like it!

I just love these shams! So this one is made from left over quilt scraps and canvas. I have black piping 3/4 around with 1/4, the lower corner black lace. The pillow form is down. I love down pillow forms they just give shams the best shape!

Here is a close up of the screen print. I did this by ironing the fabric on to wax paper, this makes it stiff and also allows it to feed through your printer! Then I put this in the paper feed tray face down and printed my picture onto my fabric! Great, right!

This screen print was much easier to do, do not try to run burlap through your printer, it is much too thick. This is a screen print that I purchased from Plaid Pantry. It is the easiest to use, fun, and the results are perfect. This pillow is burlap which is very rough and dense. Take a close look though, I used my hot tool to embellish the chandelier with jewels!

This is a picture of the screen print that I used and the paint! They have all kinds of prints and colors of paint! What a fun and easy project to try out! If you try it, be sure to share your projects with me.

This is what the template looks like and can be used more than once. They post for use of 20+ times!
