Getting Up Close with My Quilting - Special Area Quilting
My customers bring me the COOLEST QUILTS!
Special Area Quilting:
Single Bubbles as the background/filler quilting.
Two Color Loopy Bubbles in a chain for the colorful border.
Wiggle/Wavy Lines with a Swirl on the top for the tulips. I changed the thread colors for each tulip color.
And Paisley Swirly Quilting on the outside border.
A couple photos of the backside of the quilt.
I love the backside too!
Rolled it up before I mailed it.
Looks so cool rolled up too!
My customer used Jelly Roll Strips to create this quilt. It is from the book Jelly Roll Quilts by Pam and Nicky Lintott.
I love this quilt!
I picked out fabrics with my Mom to make one for our donation quilt for next year.
The book shows a photo of a lite blue print background. We purchased Kona Solids to go with the blue print. See the small quilt on the left page.
Enjoy!
