Getting Up Close with My Quilting - Special Area Quilting

Today, I am sharing Kelly's Cox Comb Quilt. It is a paper pieced quilt with many curved seams.  The quilt was created with colorful batik fabrics.

Kelly selected six thread colors.

The "Special Area Quilting" was the perfect choice for the quilting.

I took several up close photos of the quilting at different angles.

The Cox Comb Quilt is a quilt pattern by Judy Niemeyer.  Kelly said Judy made it easy to stitch the curved seams.

Special Area Quilting enhances each section of the quilt. 

I flipped the quilt over so you can see the details of the quilting on the backside of the quilt.

Enjoy!

I love your comments ---- BUT for some reason blogger sorts through them and if you are on Yahoo for your email, they go to spam and I do not get them, so I can not reply.  If you want to email me directly you can do that at Marcia@craftysewing.com. Thanks!

And of course, I will share all your comments with my customer, Kelly!  Thanks!

Getting Up Close with My Quilting - Special Area Quilting

Special Area Quilting adds texture to this Baby Turtle Quilt.

I selected 4 thread colors.

Wiggle Line Quilting for the turtle's shell. I followed the edges of the squares and the design of the shell.

Swirly Quilting for the legs and head of the turtle.

Rock Quilting in the light colored background. The rocks were about quarter and fifty cent piece sizes - some were smaller.

Loops for the borders with double loops in the skinny border with two colors of thread.

I took photos at angle, so you can see the special areas of quilting better.

 

My customer hired me to do the binding too. I stitched it with an all machine embroidery binding.

Quilted in Debbie's name and a heart and 2014 in the border. Sometimes I quilt the baby's name and birth date, but the baby wasn't born yet. It is for a baby to be!

I flipped it to the backside.

Debbie selected Minkee fabric for the backing.

This quilt was made by Debbie for a new baby to be. Debbie sent me a card to include with the baby quilt and I wrapped it up and used the scraps from the binding to make a ribbon and mailed it directly to the new parents to be.

My customer (Debbie) shared the information about the pattern with me, so I could share it with you. The name of the quilt pattern is Pokey Patch.  It was featured in the magazine Quiltmaker - September /October 2011. 

Enjoy!
