Before 2024 was out, I finally finished up two more quilts that I had been working on. Here is the Red Quilt that I made using jelly rolls.
I added in some pinwheels to give it some interest. I think it adds to the quilt.
I free motioned some roses in the quilting. I found a rose pattern in one of Pat Sloan's books. I practiced doodling it for about 2 weeks, then quilting it in. I think the rose quilt pattern matches nicely with the pretty flowered fabrics in this quilt.
I'm going to keep this quilt for myself. It's not a Christmas quilt, just red. I know it's simple, but I love how it turned out.
This is my second Chandelier quilt. I made it using some greens and flowered fabrics. It's for one of my friends who loves to be outside and in her garden.
For the machine quilting, I free motioned some large flowers onto the quilt. I love the bit of whimsy that it adds to the piece.
On the back I added a couple of strips of patchwork. I like how it breaks up the back and gives it a little visual interest.
I'll be giving it to her in a couple of weeks for her birthday. I don't think she reads my blog, but I guess we'll find out. LOL
