A quilting spree!

I had a couple of quilts to quilt so I had to decide which to do first.  I'll be seeing Anna on Tuesday so I thought I'd start with her quilt.  When I was half way through Anna's quilt I remembered that Gail said she'd try to pop in to the sewing group on Tuesday so I knew I had to do her quilt once Anna's was finished.  I managed to finish both of them and then I saw another of Debbie's quilts sitting there waiting to be quilted and as I need to do some sewing on Tuesday I thought I'd quilt the quilt, get the binding on and do boring binding at sewing on Tuesday!  Phew!  Busy! Busy!

Anna's quilt is a large patchwork squares quilt with lots of flowery fabrics so I chose a flower quilting pattern for this one.  All of those lovely squares helped me keep the quilt square on the frame and although it took me a while it went well.

While it was quilting I cut out all my fabrics for my new bedroom quilt.  No, the bedroom is not finished!

I wanted something quick and easy so I decided to try drafting a large star.  I drew guide lines first.

Then filled them in and coloured them.  Yes, I was procrastinating but shh don't tell anyone!  Later, I found a design I liked online but I couldn't justify paying for a pattern when it was so similar to mine.  Hopefully, I'll like mine if it ever gets finished once it's finished.

Anna's quilt is done.  I have threads to bury then I'll trim the quilt ready for binding which, thankfully, I won't be doing!

Gail's quilt is this lovely Harry Potter quilt for a grandchild.  I have to be honest, these are my least favourite quilts to quilt!  The backing is pieced and that makes it trickier to use, the panel has no nice easy lines to follow to keep straight and square and I never know what colour thread to use!  I went with a mid grey in the end so that Harry's face wouldn't look like someone had whipped him.

I didn't have threads to bury on this one but I do need to trim it.

I've just finished Debbie's quilting on her bookcase quilt.  My quilting system wasn't cooperating and I couldn't find the design I wanted on my USB so I tried a straight line designs that looks a bit like bricks and it came out nicer than expected.  Truthfully, this quilt needed custom quilting with something fancy on the books and around the vase and cat but I can't do that so an all over design it was.

This needs binding.  And I'll be the one doing it.  Waah!
