Joan asked if I would quilt this quilt for her. I believe her daughter did the sewing using up some "Bali Pops". As you can see, she just stripped them together This didn't lend itself to quilting the way I might quilt discrete blocks. It's a long linear looking quilt so it needed something to complement that. I decided on an all over swirl and Joan liked the idea so I tried it out. The pix will have to be enlarged to see the design. Considering it was my first try at this kind of a design, I think it turned out pretty well. As with anything, there is always a better way so next time I'll try a few things differently. These pix were just taken of the quilt draped over Max - too big to get a whole quilt shot without some help - none available at that moment.
Kristie made a quilt for STARS Air Ambulance. Her Mom works there. They had collected T-shirts from each year of a fund raising event, Kristie put them into a quilt - a first for both of us (T-shirt quilt). I was pleased with the quilting - again need to enlarge the pix to really see it.
