 After Marcy quilted 2 veterans quilts last week I decided to stay in veterans mode and loaded these 2. This first one is one of 2 almost identical sampler quilts.  It's quilted with one of my favorite motifs for these quilts: ribbon meander. Ribbon meander is very fast and looks great on any quilt.  The second one was this pretty Hunter's Star. I spent a little more time on this one because I wanted to figure out a way to travel across and still do something a little special in the stars.  It took some cogitating but I figured it out! There are no starts or stops in the quilt except where I ran out of bobbin thread. If I can make myself sit down and do some drawing I'll do a post to show you how I did this.  You can see the quilting better from the back.
Both of these quilts have this pretty blue hand dyed backing. I love dyeing backs for these quilts.

Mm-hm, that blue backing is so pretty. I think the simple quilting designs lend an air of comfort and peace to the already complex and nicely done quilts. Thank you for doing these veterans quilts.

I remember seeing your ribbon meander before. I have a question: do you do the curvier line first, or the softer line? 10/13/2017 08:25:36 am
As I am working on quilting a quilt right now, it is interesting to see what you did. I read somewhere that everyone's meandering has a style that is distinct to the quilter. I can see that in yours.

Both are lovely quilts, but that Hunter's star is a real standout! Your quilting, as usual, compliments the designs.
