More of Christy's Shirtings

Happy Friday, Quilters! Sorry I skipped last Friday's post, I was sick with a cold for a while. I'm still hacking up a lung, but otherwise doing better.

I've got some more of Christy's shirtings quilts to show this week. We'll have to be careful who this one gets given to. Texas Tech is heresy in some families!

All of these were quilted by me with a stipple. I like the brighter colors and the patterns in these first two.

This is a really simple and effective pattern, reminds me of a good block drive design...

Lastly, a string quilt in a more coordinated color scheme. I like the plaids around the border, too. 

Thanks Christy! Everyone cuddle up with your cats and quilts and stay warm this week!

Julie's tops

Happy Friday, quilters! Some bright and beautiful quilts to show this week courtesy of Julie.

These have been on my shelf for way too long, but I got them finished as part of my recent quilting spree,

I quilted all of these with a simple stipple. I just love the colors and fabrics, Julie must have such a fun fabric stash!

I've decided recently that no more than 60" in the shorter is a good limit of what I can comfortably quilt on my midarm machine. I can definitely do more, but I feel like I can really buzz through the smaller quilts.


I LOVE the design of this quilt, and the fabrics are very cool. They are Alice in Wonderland themed with metallic gold accents. (Thank to Melody for identifying the pattern as The Penny Quilt by Kitchen Table Quilting)

These next two are the same color palette and pattern. I didn't even realize there were two of them until I got to the photo stage and thought I have accidentally photographed the same one twice.

Julie (or anyone), if you know the pattern please comment with it.  It's a very effective, simple pattern to show off cool fabrics. (Edit: kudos to Melody for identify these as Fourteen Squared by Hunter's Design Studio.)

(The borders are different colors, so there definitely are two different quilts)

Thank you, Julie! Sorry it took so long to finish.
