Red, White & Blue Sampler

My 4th of July looking sampler quilt is finally done.  Started as part of the beginner quilt along.  Richard started this quilt along with one other while Tanya made her quilt and soon realized that the pace for making these quilts was too slow for his interest.

The quilting for this quilt was done with echo quilting around the big blocks and then in the ditch though the 9 patch block themselves.

This quilt will make a great summer fun quilt.

I love sewing quilts more than anything else. I tend to use Gutterman thread but don't have that much experience of other types.

Your scrappy patchwork quilt out of Twirl with a minky back is really beautiful. I especially love the binding you chose. It really completes it and brings all those bright colors together.

Lizard Rag Quilt

Around our house we love lizards (or so Richard keeps telling every one) Here is a great child size lap quilt made with some lizards in a cute Blue/Yellow/And Green combo.

The back of this quilt is all in Green Tie Dye.

Here is a close up of them.  So cute if I say so myself (Richard Speaking haha).  This is a Christmas gift for our 4 year old nephew.
