Christopher is Over the Rainbow!

At Last!

It's a couple of years since Christopher asked me to make him a quilt and I'm rather glad he changed his mind from his original request for a 'Minecraft' pattern, because I so enjoyed making him a rainbow!
He seemed to really love it. Good job he's a growing lad - it came out about 84 inches square!

                                                                                                          Sandy's two memory quilts are both done (side by side on my frame to make best use of the wide backing fabric - waste not want not!)

This first one had enough space for me to fill the sashing and borders with curls and petals. 

 

Sandy asked for a coloured thread on the pale backing to liven it up - it shows off the quilting pattern nicely. (Pink of course!)













The second one had irregular sized blocks and no border, so it lent itself more to an all-over pattern. I just had to carefully work around all the applique details that Sandy had incorporated so cleverly.

I get carried away with this design - it's almost addictive!

Now she has to bind them and make labels before the girls come over for Christmas. And then she has to make another one for their baby sister!

Tonight I have been putting the finishing touches on a pretty 'Liberty' print quilt for Jean and I will photograph it in the morning. 

I hope it is as sunny as today!

Happy Quilting Everyone!
Janet
