I really have been working on customer quilts in between all of the other
'stuff' that took over my life... temporarily. Posting pix has not been a priority :0(
Finished on my Innova are these two quilts for Claudia...
This one was a fun quilt altho, it's the one I kept cutting the batting too small!
Thankfully it was batting from my rolls and not my customer's batting.
We layered two, thin cotton on the bottom against the backing
with wool batting on top for loft. The background fabric is pure white
and the only thing I found problematic with Quilter's Dream Wool
is that the backing fabric shows thru to the top with light fabrics.
The seam allowances stand out against the shadow of the backing.
To fix this problem, I add a very thin layer of cotton batting
like QD cotton request. Too thin by itself on a longarm frame
unless you float tops but for layering... it's great!

Below you can see a little bit of the backing, a great bird fabric
pieced into the backing rolled onto my take up bar.
Custom quilted with a simple motif repeated in each block
with a single version in the small blocks. Bright White Omni.
The yellow was all ruler work done with 1/4 inch stitching in Omni Banana.
Quilt two is semi custom ~ an edge to edge with a border
set inside of the center field instead of a border on the outside.
I achieved it using the Mask function altho, not something I will do again
until ABM comes up with a better version, hopefully it will be addressed
in the new Mach 3 format that just came out. Way too many tie offs!!!
A get around would be to connect the ends using Art and Stitch.
Made with a Charm Pack with fabrics from American Jane
Perfect for this baby quilt, my favorite fabric/block...
is the DOG. Very cute!
Quilting pattern is a new set by Anne Bright named Pickup Sticks
Wool batting and Omni thread in white and Banana in the inner border
with Pearl White on the back.
Well done Claudia, thank you
Enjoy your weekend
Tot ziens, Jo
