We are in the grey

First up to share is Jill's fun Hexagon quilt. Jill had very clear idea's about how she wanted this quilt quilted. Made for a friend in Canada, Jill wanted the iconic Maple leaf quilted on the tone-on-tone hexagon's, then we both decided to just keep the straight lines on the rest of the hexagon's, too many designs would make an already reasonably busy quilt, well too busy.

Straight lines & lots of ditch stitching, using Madeira poly neon threads over wool/poly batting.

For the pieced border I ditch stitched & quilted some stipple & more straight lines to keep that continuity. Thank you Jill, I hope your special friend loves her quilt.

Next a quilt designed by Emily Cier from a book compiled by Susanne Woods in the form of a book called "Modern Blocks".

 Kerryn made this quilt at retreat for her daughter to snuggle under. With a minky blanket for the backing I am sure she will snuggle under it! It did cause me a few problems as the minky blanket had quite a stretch in one direction. Anyhow you can see I quilted 'very organic' straight lines on the grey, as well as crossing over in random places & a mix of quilting designs on the feature fabrics, pebbles, paisley, a boxy maze & stipple.

Here you go you back lovers! I remembered to take a shot or two of the back.

Time to end this post as I have more to show you but can't, I have a few gifts I have made plus two more customer quilts, but I will have to wait & so will you!!
The following is worth contemplation, don't you think??

Until next time friends & 'stalkers', take care & keep your home fires burning by making something pretty.
