Link A Finish Friday #88

Today I would like to start by sharing Tanya's Most recent quilt.  She has been doing a good job lately.  Me (Richard) I have been some what distracted the last few weeks and only have a few things to show for it.  I think soon I am going to have to kick into gear though as I feel like a slacker.

Another Custom Rag Quilt

A customer wanted a lavender, purple, and green rag quilt with elephants.  This quilt was done by Tanya, Richard is busy working on another custom baby quilt.  

 This cute rag quilt is 40 by 50.  It has a dark purple minky on the back.  

The front has two minky fabrics. The dark purple and a lavender with a rose pattern.   The rose minky is super cute, but sheds tons.  It has three cotton fabrics.

I used my embroidery machine to applique the elephants on 8 squares. The design wasn't designed for applique so I ended up doing some close trimming after it was sewn. I can see a few more baby quilts with elephants in the future.  I think this is one of the cutest rag quilts so far.  Just in case you are wondering, the flannel isn't gone, I've just been busy with other projects like laundry and other fun cleaning projects.

Batik Quilt Done at Last

I have at last got my Twin Size Batik quilt done (ok, it was done 2 weeks ago), but I made this top almost a year ago.  Because of the size it sat for a long time without a back and then when that was done.  It again sat for a long time as Tanya worked up her desire to baste it.  Above it is pictured on my sons Bunk Bed.

Trying out the new quilt rack that was found at thrift store.  This quilt is made with dark and light grey batik material and then 10 inch blocks at a diagonal of random batik fabrics out of 2 1/2 inch squares.

A close up of  one of the square blocks.  Each of blocks is quilted in the square design.  It took a long time to quilt them as I quilted down each side, spiraling in and I underestimated the effort of turning the quilt in circles.

It cover the top of a queen size bed.

The back is a combination of the light and dark batiks.

Ghastlies

This quilt was finished a while back.  We just never got pictures and a post done.

Here is a close up of one of the blocks.

It is a difficult quilt to get pictures of.   Each of the wonky blocks has slightly different quilting.

It has been added to our etsy store. We also working on finishing some table runners and wall hangings out of Ghastlies.  We haven't decided if the one we our keeping will go on wall or table, decisions?
