Customer sampler/round robin quilt

Jacki was part of a round robin group making a quilt designed by 'Janz Designs' ( Janis & Ans) called 'French Connection'. See Kerry's I quilted last year here. Jacki had been collecting fat 1/8th bundles for sometime & thought that this would be a good project to use them up on.

Jacki likes loose quilting, nothing too dense. We used cotton batting & Madeira poly neon threads.
Before I share some of the blocks with you, check out the pieced backing! Jacki loves pieced backings, they sure make for a point of interest.

Some nice big plain blocks to play with my feather wreath stencils.
Because I like some continuity with the blocks on sampler quilts, I just had to add some more feathers.

More feathers anyone???

Thanks Jacki!!

I just wanted to share a cute freebie pattern with you.

I made this for a special friend, hung it on my wall just to look at it & love it so much, I stitched another to keep for myself!!
This is an Anni Downs freebie.( see here for the pattern) Anni's original is made with applique, but I fancied stitching mine. The first I stitched using Cottage Garden Thread, called 'Warratah' the second one I used one called 'Kangaroo Paw', both very similar in colouring. They only took one evening each to stitch. Then I used the fabric I got gifted from Lynette a couple of years back to finish these off. Then bought some lovely wire hangers from my fav quiltshop.

I am hoping to squeeze another customer quilt in before Christmas, as it is needed early next  year......'next year'.......doesn't that sound strange?
Here's hoping you are all well & NOT going crazy with the whole Christmas rush!

Thanks for stopping by.
