Sweet Treats for Project Quilting Challenge Three - A Good Start!

I selected cotton candy for my inspiration.  The challenge is to be inspired by Sweet Treats.  Click here for the details of the challenge.

Soft blue and creams for my fabrics will be perfect.

I cut fifty 5 inch squares from both fabrics. I may not use them all. 

At first my thoughts were to sew the squares together and make a puffy quilt. I decided to go in another direction, after doing a google search for more sweet treats.

Draw a line diagonally thru' all the cream squares.

Pretty sides together.

I stitched on both sides of the line and then cut on the drawn line.

Open up and press.

I started to lay them out in a chevron pattern.

I like it!

I will sew more tomorrow after work.

That's my start on the Sweet Treats Challenge!

If you like this pattern and want to make a chevron design for the challenge too, please make it.  I will not think you are copying me.  
Go for it!  
That is what it is all about sharing and inspiring each other.

Enjoy!

Getting Up Close with My Quilting - Wavy Line Quilting

Sometimes a quilt just needs a Wavy Line Quilting.

I waved in and out of the sections, following the design of the strips. 

Flipping the back to the front.

Another full view.

I quilted a second wavy line on the second line on both sides of the quilt, to give it a border or edging. It is easier to see it on the back side of the quilt.

Wavy Line Quilting isn't for every quilt, but it was perfect for this one.  My customer had seen something similar, but not as wavy.  The waviness of the lines shadowed the strips with an echoing effect. 

Enjoy!

Getting Up Close With My Quilting --- Triple and Double Bubble Quilting

I used one color of quilting thread,(Trainer Green). I circled the bubbles at least twice and sometimes three and four times. I quilted large bubbles, medium bubbles, and small bubbles.

My customer said she started this quilt over 5 years ago.  She does not remember the name, but it was a quilt pattern from a Fons and Porter Magazine.  She added several borders to make it king size.

I take photos of customer's quilts on my guest bed.  It is queen size, but this quilt was 110" by 125". It was way too big for this bed!

I lifted up one corner.

I flipped it up so you can see the borders.

I folded it into fourths, so you can see the borders. Look how big it is on the queen size bed.

A few up close of the bubbles on the backside of the quilt.

And some more of the front.

I folded it up for shipping. My customer will be so happy when she receives it.

Enjoy!
