In the past 3 weeks I have pieced and quilted these three quilts. I have yet to get around to binding them. I am really pleased with the quilting. The two OSU Quilts will be going into my etsy shop. The other, Jean's Diamonds will be going to my mom.
I quilted leaves and flowers over the surface of this quilt. I tried to center the flowers over the diamonds. The quilt need movement. As hesitant as I was to start the quilting, in the end it turned out great!
I added interest to the back, even though it will be a wall hanging. I love the strip of diamonds added to the back.
This quilt really stumped me for a while. I had no pattern or real idea of what I wanted, I just started cutting and sewing. I had a hard time deciding what size to make it. Finally, I asked my son and he said, "It's the perfect size for a baby." Indeed it was. And what goes perfect for baby quilts. Minkee! I added a minkee backing and TA-DA. I only wish I had known what a mess the Minkee pile makes when cut. I had red fuzzies everywhere, still do.
I have limited experience with Minkee, so just to be safe I just meandered this quilt. But let me tell you, it is so cuddly! Everyone at my house is trying to claim this as theirs!
The finally quilt is one that I planned. (shocker, isn't it!) It is a pretty straight forward OSU quilt. I jazzed it up a little with the quilting. I used stippling, my OHIO loops, leaves and vines and hook paisley. I think this will keep someone nice and warm at a tailgating party!
Now if I can only get a few minutes to sit and bind.
