Two veterans quilts

9/29/2022

Mom was coming over to get her hair cut yesterday so I rushed Tuesday night to get these two veterans quilts done. One is hers and she could take it home for binding.

This is the one that Mom made. The 12-patch blocks are 12" square and it's made all with scraps.

I did a combination of continuous curves in the blocks and simple ruler work in the narrow sashing. I'm a little tired of the pantographs so I'm trying to do more free motion from the front of the machine.

I think it made a cool pattern on the back. This fabric is actually a pretty pale blue, not gray.

I don't remember who made this quilt but I like it a lot! The blocks are 12" and it has a 5.5" border.

I quilted this one with a wavy zig zag stitch and was able to use seams as my marks and only needed to chalk some dots around the border.

I have 3 more quilts left to quilt before the October meeting. The meeting isn't until the 11th but I hope to get them done this weekend. We're expecting lots of rain from Ian and that seems like perfect sewing and quilting weather.

Your quilting is so perfect, I've often wondered if you are doing computerized quilting. Your points are perfect, I have a tendency to loop my points. I love free-motioning on the LA but am currently doing a panto for a client.

Both look very patriotic and look like they'd be suitable for either a man or a woman.
Hope you stay dry!

Those are both very nice. And, as always, lovely quilting.

The quilts turned out wonderful! It doesn't look like Ian is going to be affecting Ohio. We have no rain in the forecast for the next 10 days.
