Flower Power Quilt for Swirly Girl's Designs

This quilt is by Susan, is mainly applique, and is incredibly fun!!  This is one quilt in a series that I completed for Swirly Girl's Designs.  I used several different custom quilting motifs to create the look of the quilting.  I mimicked the shape of the flower and created additional shape elements to each flower.  I love the quilt pattern and I love how the quilting turned out!!

Betty's Gray Teal and Orange Quilt

This is such a pretty quilt.  The colors were wonderfully chosen and go so well together.  I decided to do a double wishbone for the center and two custom borders.  I used a straight line, piano key type design for the outer most border to give it a great frame.  The skinnier border had an "s" shape rope design.  The large scale of the double wishbones kept the quilt nice and soft, great for snuggling with!

Marilyn's Flamingo!

What a fun quilt!  This flamingo was made with raw edge applique.  I outlined all of the pieces of fabric and created a "wing" area with monofilament thread by Fil-Tec.  She deserved a fun background so I did some freehand, fabulous, fancy feathers!!  Marilyn plans to finish the quilt by doing some thread painting and it will look awesome when it's completed!

Susan's Roulette Quilt for Swirly Girl's Design

Here is the next quilt in Swirly Girl's Design's series that I quilted called Roulette.  These large areas of solid colors provided a great opportunity for custom quilting that really complimented the design of the quilt.
