Beach balls, logs and talking books?

 Please click on photos for a clear view.

What a fun quilt, made by Raewyn for a boy I'm guessing, not sure who it is for.

Out with my trusty Madeira Polyneon threads, straight line stitching on the green, which I realised later looked like farrows in the field.
Looping swirls on the red.Stipple using invisible thread on vehicle blocks .
Mettler poly variegated was used for the loops on the border.

Another fun quilt from Raewyn, called 'Beach Balls'

Keeping in mind the name of this quilt: "Beach Balls" I wanted to quilt the 'balls' so they looked like balls and the background to look like water and/or wind.
The border wanted to be waves.......
Yes my favourite threads used again.

Here is the back of the quilt.




While I was quilting these 2 quilts I was listening to a talking book called : The Island. I really enjoy listening to these talking books while quilting, it helps to get me in the 'groove' of quilting.
Anyone else listen to talking books?
