Pumpkin Patches Flannel Patchwork Quilt Finish


 This is my last quilt that I got back from my quilter for now.  It is called Pumpkin Patches and my quilter has done another outstanding job prettying it up for me.  My original posting about the making of it is HERE.  This posting is to show the totally finished quilt in all it's glory.

This is a corner of the quilt top (the red is the backing ... shown more later).

This shows the outer and inner border design:

 This is the block design.


This one shows where 4 blocks come together.

This is the backside showing the quilting in more detail.

This one shows the backside of the outer border design.


Is it just me or does anyone else have trouble "seeing" to sew on black?!?  I had a heck of a time with the binding due to that problem.

Anyway, I love my patchwork quilt ... hope you do, too.


Have a great day,

Pumpkin Patch Row Quilt Finish

This is my third quilt finish.  If you want to see the details of the making of it, you can read my original post HERE.  It's so beautiful with all the wonderful quilting.  The cross-hatching is stunning and the pumpkins in the borders remind me of Cinderella's coach.


The photos do NOT do it justice.  The colors are way understated here.  I'm sorry you can't see it like it really looks.

Here are the close-ups of the quilting - cross-hatching and inner borders:



Ad here are the border pumpkins!!!

Thanks for looking!  Have a great day.

Quilt Finishes

Finally!  Some actual quilt finishes!  About time, huh?   I have "really" finished a couple of quilts and it feels so good!  I have already posted about these quilt tops, but they weren't quilted and bound at the time.  They have been waiting for a long time to join my other quilts in the "totally finished" category and I'm so pleased to be able to share them with you.  These and the other quilts that I show you now and in the future are different from all the previous ones as they are, or will be "machine quilted" by a professional quilter who is just GREAT!  Take a look at her work.

This is my "Elm Creek Medallion" quilt:

Beautiful quilting, isn't it?  I wish I had learned how to do this when I was younger.

Here's the second one called "A Baker's Dozen" Quilt:
Here's the back side of this block where you can see the quilting much better:

And here's the back sides showing the border and corner block quilting:
I really love my quilter!!!  Thanks, Mary Alice ... you're a real "winner"!!


If any of you are looking for a great quilter, you can contact her at this website:  Mary Alice Machine Quilting.com.  But, don't go thinking your quilts get quilted faster than mine (haha)!
