Maurice is a new quilter and this kitty quilt, is the second quilt I quilted for her.
"Bubbles" is one of my favorite pantographs and gives the quilt such a good texture and movement.
All the four patch blocks and the ones with triangles are three dimensional.
I use my old trick, "press 'n seal" to help me keep the pieces down so I can quilt over them.
The three dimensional block is quilted and I did not quilt in any tucks.
Light pink border.
Bright pink backing.
Another t-shirt quilt pieced by Sally. I quilted a batik quilt for her with "Bubbles" and immediately she said she want the same "Bubbles" on the t-shirt quilt.
Happy Quilting

Maurice shared her love of quilting with her daughter-in-law, Dorothy. This is Dorothy's very first quilt. She picked "Meandering Daisies" for the quilting panto, another favorite panto of mine.

Beautiful quilts! The one with the cats is amazing! Well, they all are actually! LOL
I Love the 3-D look of the cat quilt! And you did a great job on the t-shirt quilt. I do them but don't actually quilt the squares. They work out fine, but I love the quilting swirls. I don't know how to machine quilt!
I love that cat quilt, really fun fabrics and designs.

Beautiful quilts, Millie, and I always like to see how you quilted them - just makes them better and prettier!
Those quilts are so amazing. I love the cat beds. That was clever to make those bed have depth. I don't think I have ever heard of using Press and Seal for quilting. Great tip!!
They are all gorgeous quilts... I am starting to want a long arm quilter! Wonder how much they cost??? do you need a degree to be able to use one cos I'm an idiot!
Oh those cats are so cute:)
Yep I am hand quilting and you are bringing life to quilts much quicker than I Millie...the cats OMG..love that...and your swirls are just a perfect pattern..Your work is really amazing my dear..Now I hand quilt for the pure enjoyment of it all...but I have to think ...machine quilting is really attractive to me wink...
Off to make yet another MUG RUG...lol

I really like the bright quilt with the flowers. Great job!
Gorgeous quilts. Looooove the cats :)
You mean you put the press and seal right over the block and then tear it away when done? is there any sticky residue if you leave it on the quilt for a number of days?

Beautiful quilts Millie! I have a question, when you use the press and seal do you cover the whole row you are doing or just the 3D blocks?
All the ladies are doing amazing quilts and you do your magic then!
Happy sewing!
I love the quilts, esp. the cat quilts!

I LOVE that cat quilt!!
Millie,
The pink quilt, the one with the three dimensional triangles and the neat "old trick" of "press 'n seal" to help you keep the pieces down - very clever!
