Finished Whirlygig quilt

 

It is extremely hot and humid here in Texas, perfect weather to stay inside and to work on quilts. I am so excited, my Wirlygig quilt is all done. I can't wait to display it in my quilting room.

These two quilts are almost done, they just need a binding. I had the bindings all planned out. The blue binding did not look good on the String quilt. My ideas do not always work out.

This green fabric looks a lot nicer on the quilt, I am glad I changed the binding out.

 The second quilt's binding is coming along nicely. I am such a slow hand sewer.

This lap quilt will look nice at the end of my bed, well I first have to get the binding done. lol

 I love my bed quilts and this String quilt is getting softer which each wash. I love this white wholecloth quilt at the end of my bed.

 The blue String quilt is nice to cuddle up in. I like to have a few quilts on my bed. My wonderful hubby does not mind all the quilts and pillows on the bed.

 I changed out the quilts behind my longarm. The blue String quilt on my bed used to be over here in my quilting room.

Thank you so much for visiting. Hope you'll have a wonderful week.

Finished 16 patch Quilt

 I just finished the binding on my 1930 reproduction 16 patch quilt.  I love washed crinkled quilts and this one crinkled up nicely indeed.

 The backing look so much prettier crinkled up too.

 I quilted my Butterfly String quilt last week, now it just needs a binding.

 I think I am going to use the blue backing for the binding.

 I am so behind in show and tell and would like to share a few quilts I have quilted.

This is Michelle's pretty batik quilt.

 Blue borders.

 Blue batik backing.

 Another blue and green batik quilt - quilted this jelly roll quilt for Cindy.

 Pretty batik backing.

 Marinell's darling scrappy tumbler quilt which I stippled.

 White backing shows the quilting nicely.

 Isn't this a pretty Alice in Wonderland quilt?  I quilted Sally's quilt with Deb's Swirls.

Lots of cute machine embroidery and she designed most of the applique designs.

 I quilted Jana's pretty scrappy quilt with swirls.

 Yellow backing goes so well with all the scraps.

 Another baby quilt I quilted for Jana.

 Matching fairy backing

 And the last quilt I like to show was pieced by Mrs Erskins (92 years young ! ). She is such a talented quilter.

 Plain blue backing

I hope you'll have a wonderful week and thanks for stopping by.

T-shirt quilts

I always have a lot of fun making t-shirt quilts. T-shirt quilts are very popular, especially this time of the year when students are going to college. Each t-shirt quilt has its own personality.

This is a t-shirt quilt I made for Nijia.

We decided on a small teal border followed by a black and teal patchwork print for the outside border, binding and backing. I used a heart and swirl quilting pattern in teal colored thread.

Rhonda's t-shirt quilt was quilted with swirls and it is my favorite pattern for t-shirt quilts.

Sally's t-shirt quilt was quilted with the same swirl pattern called "Deb's Swirls".

Pieced backing.

This is a very heavy t-shirt quilt which I quilted with a stipple.

 Grey border with music  print for the outside border.

 This is why the quilt is very heavy and so durable, the backing is a heavy weight denim fabric.

Hope you all will have a wonderful week and thanks for stopping by,

Millie
