Betty's Moda Modern Blocks Quilt

This quilt was pieced by Betty and is the Moda Modern Building Blocks pattern.  In order to keep the quilt light, since it will be used as a summer quilt, I decided on a larger scale all over pattern that has great movement.  It's a square of wavy lines that's rotated 90 degrees every other block which creates a neat checkerboard effect.

Joy's Rainbow Chevron Quilt

Joy pieced this gorgeous quilt, it was so hard to give this one back!  I used swirls in the white background areas, and for the chevrons, I alternated between a simple version of Nemeshing (a feather-type design) and a different feather design that I love as well.  The outer border got an "S" design in a rainbow variegated thread.  I absolutely loved how this one turned out!!

Truda's Cathedral Window Quilt

This gorgeous quilt was pieced by Truda, it's huge Cathedral Windows!  Such fun fabrics.  I quilted pearls in the white areas of the windows, wishbones in the center of the peels, a feather design in the center of each block, swirls in the outer sections, and I outlined the flowers in the border fabric. It's adorable!  Quilter's Dream Wool batting was used and Glide thread.
