A Cobblestone finish-OMG

This is my second Cobblestone Path quilt I have made.  I love the fun modern look of it and I loved the red aqua fabrics, so together they made for an awesome quilt!  You can see the first one here.

Edited to say: When I post this today I forgot to say it is also my OMG this month!!!!!!  So I'll be linking up at Elm Street Quilts when it goes live.

                

All custom quilted on my Nolting Funquilter 17".  Two different feather sprays go the length of the print fabric columns.  Wishbones are quilted in the white sashings between the feather columns, and the white border all the way around the quilt.




The backing is pieced with some of the leftover prints.  I love print backings and I love pieced backings-a win win;)  They just add so much character to a quilt.



Hobbs 80/20 batting with Glide Thread.  This quilt is now in my Etsy shop.

Treble and Bass

Last week I finished up this quilt called Treble and Bass in the book All About Strips by Susan Guzman.  A fun quilt to use a variety of prints in. I am really stuck on this color combination of blue, aqua and lime green. Using white as the background really makes it pop.

This quilt is listed in my Etsy shop now.



 I longarm quilted it on my Nolting Funquilter with a freehand allover pattern I call fan blades. Glide thread in a light aqua and Hobbs 80/20 were used.

Here you can see the 'in progress' work while it is on the frame.


We must not forget a look at the pieced backing. I so love print backings and I love pieced ones that add more interest to our quilt.


I hope everyone has a great week planned and are very productive!
