What is Double Loopy Loop Quilting?
I quilt it with loopy quilting meaning a line or chain of whimsical loops and then I quilt it again over the first loops.
I changed thread colors with each row. I quilted three different sizes of loopy loops - small, medium, and large.
In the grey and white sections of the quilt I quilted the loopy loops scattered - not really in a chain and in various sizes. It is more relaxed or whimsical then the loops in row. I quilted with a white thread on the white and pearly grey on the grey sections. It gave it a very nice texture.
Here's a full view of the quilt.
And some up close photos. You can see all the sizes of the loops in this photo.
I flipped the back over so you can see both sides.
A couple more up close photos.
This is a customer's quilt. She made it for a quilt challenge for Quilts by Barb's Quilt Challenge. It's called "The yard that keeps on going" Quilt Challenge. We were creating with grey hand dyed fabric this year.
The pattern is called "Good Vibrations." It's from the quilt magazine "Quilts and More." She does not know the magazine date, but it's designed by Kari Vojtechovsky.
We selected 80/20 Hobbs Quilt Batting.
10 quilting threads - see the first photo.
It measures 51" X 51".
My customer will be binding it with the hand dyed grey fabric. It will finish it off perfectly.
We selected a busy back from the extra wide backing fabrics. It is a white with grey triangles. Worked perfect!

I made this table runner at Quilts by Barb's Quilt Retreat a couple years ago. It was a mini class that she taught at the Quilt Retreat. I do not know the name of the pattern. I am trying to finish up some of my unfinished projects and this was one of them.
I quilted it recently and finally completed the binding on Sunday afternoon.
Instead of an embroidery stitch, I used the Zig Zag that has the tiny stitches for finishing the quilt binding. I think it fits perfectly!
I used two quilting thread colors. Key Lime Green and Bermuda Blue and Black for the binding.
Here is an up close photo of the Wiggle Line Quilting in the center square of the table runner.
I almost forgot to stitch in my name and the year. I stitched it right through the wiggle lines.
I flipped the end, so you can see the backside of the table runner.
And a full view of the table runner.
I am planning to take time to post on Monday nights again, My Getting Up Close With My Quilting Posts. Life just gets so busy, sometimes there is not enough time in the day. If you click on the link here or the tags at the bottom of my post you will get this post first and then all the rest of the quilting posts.
Thanks for following my posts!
