Shelley’s Flamingo Quilt + Weekly Design
Hi there,
oh my cuteness!! This quilt is one of my favorites. The soft fabric choices, mixed with the flamingos. So sweet!!
The pictures truly don’t do this quilt justice. Sorry they aren’t the best.
This quilt was made by Abby from Orange Peel Sews, for Shelley. The pattern is by Elizabeth Hartman and is called, Florence Flamingo.
I just love this simple quilting texture!!
I used a cream Omni thread from Superior Threads and my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline.
This one has light pink minky on the backing, and when I try and get pictures of it in this poor of lighting it looks so blah. So imagine that sweet pink minky with Hopscotch dancing across it. Hope you’re working on some fun projects! I have some fun sewing to do this week! • Leisha
Shelley’s Buffalo Plaid Quilt
Hello,
happy weekend!! This is one of the last quilts I quilted before Christmas…I’m slowly catching up. I’ll get there. I was planning to do a big blog post with all the quilts, like I’ve done before, however I had some requests to do them individually.
This quilt is a big one!! Made by Shelley. I’m guessing the squares are 6”. There is no official pattern for this one. The darkest fabric goes every other one with the lighter blue fabric, as well as the white fabric goes every other one with the lighter blue fabric. It’s an awesome easy guys quilt!
This one is extra cozy with minky on the backing. Minky makes the quilting pop!!
Shelley chose my On Point©️ design for the quilting. It can be difficult sometimes to line up this design because quilts shrink as they are quilted. I came across a brilliant solution!!! I used this method on another quilt I did recently and it work out beautifully. I recorded a bunch of videos and put them in my Instagram stories, to walk you through the process. If you click here: https://instagram.com/leishakaye it should take you to my profile and the click on the Crosshatch highlight bubble. Or let’s see maybe this link will work: https://www.instagram.com/s/aGlnaGxpZ2h0OjE3ODg2NDE1Nzk2MDA0Njg4?igshid=ooym1zedlbxf&story_media_id=2522927156319547382
I used my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline and Omni natural white thread from Superior Threads.
Here is a look at that minky backing. I didn’t have a lot of the navy minky pull through the white fabric, it helps to have the nap of the minky going down when you pin it onto the canvases. I will say however, when I quilt swirly designs it comes up more. It’s kind of out of our hands as quilters. So, I always leave it up to my clients. They know that if they choose a darker minky, that it’s possible for the fibers to pull up through the lighter fabrics in the quilt top.
Have you made a buffalo plaid quilt before? I have, and I love using Moda cross weave fabric for that middle color…it’s such a great color blend.
Thanks for stopping by!! Have a great weekend! • Leisha
Barbara’s Star Fall Quilt
Hello!!
Excited to share this quilt and quilting design with you!! I loved quilting this fun quilt last fall, made by Barbara.
The pattern is called Starfall Quilt by Ebony Love. I couldn’t find this pattern, so contact her on the link I provided and she can tell you where it is located.
I used a dark gray thread to quilt it, and my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline.
I used a quilting design by my friend Jess from Threaded Quilting, called Diamond Loops. It’s such a fun design!! Jess also has some other great designs as well.
I thought this design looked fantastic with all the triangular shapes.
Some close ups!!
The backing was gray minky. Solid minky shows the quilting so beautifully.
Another picture of the minky backing below. Do you have any questions about using minky for the backings of quilts?
Question…do you have to schedule your sewing time? So it actually happens. I have some planned for next week! Have a great weekend. • Leisha
Barbara’s Mini “Sugar” Quilt
Hello,
just dropping by to send you this fun table topper! Do you ever want to sew a project, but don’t want to do something big…make a mini quilt or table topper. Mini quilts are great to pin up on the wall, too! In fact I have one on my bedroom wall. …scroll down to the bottom to check it out!!
This fun mini quilt is actually one of the Frivol’s that Moda did a few or so years ago. This particular one is by Sweetwater, it’s called Sugar, and it’s their Cookie Exchange fabric.
I love these bright cherry fabrics!
When I choose I design to quilt on something, I try and find something that ties the quilt pattern and fabrics together…and also draw inspiration from the fabrics as well.
I chose Patricia Ritter and my Frost©️ design to quilt it…and I love the end result.
I used a cream Omni thread from Superior Threads, and a scrap of my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend batting.
Here is the mini quilt I have on my wall. Which would still be great on a table top as well!
I just got back from sunny Arizona last night. And…Today it’s snowing in Utah…which is why we escaped to some warmer weather. It was fun to get away with my mom and sisters!! I hope you’re having a great week! • Leisha
Beth’s Smitten Quilt
Beth used Tula Pink fabrics and fussy cut them, to get all the right fabrics in all the right spots.
I used a batting that Beth provided, which I think was an 8020, and if I remember right a light aqua thread…because scroll down see the minky backing.
Beth chose Marmalade for the quilting, which is definitely a favorite!! Marmalade is available at Urban Elementz.
I never get tired of seeing this design on quilts!!!
Look at all the amazing details in the fabrics that Beth chose.
Of course this front and back picture is necessary!
The fun thing about this minky, is the silver fleck in it. It adds some extra sparkle to this amazing Smitten quilt. I love the combination of pattern, fabrics, quilting, and backing!! Thanks Beth, for letting me quilt it for you.
Hope you have a great week!

Jennie Jo’s Family Heirloom Quilt
Hi there,
it’s me again! I’m going to try and catch up on sharing quilts…so then I can share quilts in real time. It can be hard to find the time to blog, especially when I used to do multiple quilts in one post.
This fun heirloom quilt is all about the fabric!! One of Jennie Jo’s sons loved this drapery fabric from his grandma, so she had a quilt made out of it. A friend of Jennie’s zig zagged the round edges to the green fabric, and then also added the brown border.
You may be also to see how it’s sewn better in this picture.
I suggested a few different designs, and she chose Patricia Ritter and my Haven©️ design! It’s such a fun vine design. It’s available at Urban Elementz.
I think it looks beautiful with the print in the fabric, without being too matchy matchy.
I used a cream Omni thread from Superior Threads and my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend Winline batting.
Have you ever made a quilt with a family heirloom fabric?
Have a great week, and I hope that you get some sewing in!

Sweet Marmalade!
Introducing Sweet Marmalade©️ by Patricia Ritter and me!! This was the exciting thing that I mentioned a few blog posts ago. If you love our Marmalade design, you’ll love Sweet Marmalade.
I had a quilting friend request some hearts, and I’m so glad. I couldn’t love it more!! Sweet Marmalade is available at Urban Elementz. I haven’t quilted it out just yet, but I did see it on a quilt that someone else quilted the other day. It’s super cute!! I can’t wait to quilt it out…now I just need the right quilt.
Below is the first quilt that I quilted with my Statler after I got my Gammill machine retrofitted, and it’s one of my own. So, of course I wanted to do Marmalade…I still love it 4 years later!
The quilt pattern is Windspinner by April Rosenthal.
Also…did you know we had a variation of Marmalade with a star…yep, we’ve had it since 2016…it’s called Liberty©️. I just looked, and it’s also available in embroidery quilting and design boards, as well as the regular edge to edge options.
Look at the glorious minky blue backing…Liberty certainly knows how to shine!
Also, a little star topper just needed some Liberty©️ quilting on it!
I hope that you’re just as excited about Sweet Marmalade as we are!!! It’s awesome how much joy a quilting design can bring to the quilting world, aka…Marmalade! We are hoping that Sweet Marmalade is loved by you just as much! Now, I need to quilt it on a quilt ASAP. If you have a quilt in need of some Sweet Marmalade, let me know. Happy Monday, friends.

Mary Ann’s Aggie Quilt
Good morning!!
I hope you have a great week ahead of you. Today is going to be a quick little post.
Mary Ann made this fun t-shirt quilt for her daughter and son in-law for Christmas!! Yes…I’m way behind in sharing quilts. I did want to share the quilting on this quilt.
I made a t-shirt quilt awhile back and did a blog post…and then recently made another and did a Instagram tutorial, which I saved on my highlight bubbles “t-shirt quilt 1” and “t-shirt quilt 2”…if you want to go look at the play by play. https://instagram.com/leishakaye/ There was lots of interested.
Mary Ann did a beautiful job making this quilt!! She used the apparel interfacing by Pellon Basics 931TD fusible midweight, to back the shirts and stabilize them.
I used my favorite 8020 Winline cotton poly blend batting and Superior Thread’s Omni white thread.
This design is versatile!! It’s my go to design for t-shirt quilts, guy quilts, quilts that need geometric quilting, baby quilts and so on…
Love this quilting texture! And, Go Aggie’s!! They lost their last basketball game in their conference tournament, yet found out they were invited to play in the NCAA tournament! Excited for them!!
Thanks for stopping by! Happy quilting.
Design of the Week
This week’s design of the week is…Double Squared©️!!! It is 20% off, no code necessary. This design does not require any offset, and stitches out beautifully. I recommend quilting it out at a 5”-5.5” height, which is the largest I would go. It would be great to quilt it smaller, too.
I decided to bring back the design of the week, but with a little twist. When I quilt a design of mine, it will be the design of the week. I will be able to share pictures of what it looks like quilted out on a quilt.
If you follow me over on Instagram, then you probably saw me making this T-shirt quilt for a client…In my stories. I decided to quilt Double Squared on it. More pictures to come…
This is a quilt I quilted awhile back for my client Kristen…here is the blog post with info about her quilt.
The weekly design’s will expire on Saturday night each week. They will be chosen from my personal designs, and only on sale in my shop. Check back soon for another one! Thank you!!

Kathy’s Legendary Quilt
Hello,
I hope you’re week has been great! Happy almost spring to some of you…and fall the the rest.
This fun quilt my friend Kathy made for her son. He wanted different texture on the quilting than what I typically do…wood grain. So…I showed her Malachite by Patricia Ritter, and she loved the idea. I think it turned out great!
The quilt pattern is by Elizabeth Hartman and is called Legendary.
I know some of you are here to see quilts that are custom quilted, I understand that. However, there is definitely a place for edge to edge quilting. With a quilt like this one, that I’ve quilted a few of…and seen many others, it’s great to get a look at a different design on such a popular quilt. Also, I want to share my clients beautiful quilts.
I used my favorite Winline 8020 batting, and superior threads cream Omni thread.
Look at that cozy backing!! It’s a flannel sheet. When someone wants to use a sheet or a flannel backing, I suggest using a flannel sheet. They quilt up beautifully. I think Kathy found this at Eddie Bauer.
I quilted this last fall…and I have oodles of more quilts to share with you! Stay tuned. Happy Quilting! -Leisha
Kim’s Life’s a Picnic Runner
Hello!!
I hope your week is off to a great start! I’m going to try and post more quilts this week, there are some fun ones that have come my way for quilting.
This fun little table runner was made by Kim, I love the bright pops of color!! The pattern is by Lissa Alexander and it’s a bonus pattern called Life’s a Picnic from her “Oh, Scrap!” book.
I used a scrap piece of 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline and Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads.
I thought it would be fun to quilt freehand swirls in the center of the blocks, and it turned out so sweet!! Also, ribbon candy in the outer border.
In the background I thought a simple orange peel petals would frame nicely around the swirl blocks. Which I was able to do continuously by stitching in the ditch.
I used my 4” Circle2™ machine quilting circle ruler to quilt the petals. My 4” Circle2™ ruler is one of my most used circle rulers for quilting orange peel petals. It fits a variety of different shapes nicely. If it’s not quite the right size, I size up or down…that’s why I offer my Circle2™ rulers in a set. For more info my rulers, check out this blog post: https://www.quiltingit.com/blog/2018/10/10/introducing-my-circle2-longarm-circle-ruler-set

I love looking at the backings…this one is fun!!
Hope you have a great day!!! Happy sewing! - Leisha
Kim’s Spring Table Runner
Does anyone else feel like spring is coming??? Hopefully this sweet little wall hanging helps!! The pattern is by Pieceful Designs and it’s called Love to Garden, part of their “The Long and Short of it” group.
Sweet huh?!?!
I used a 8020 cotton poly batting scrap from another quilt, and some cream Omni thread color number 3004.
What better freehand design for this garden wall hanging than my grassy design???…I love it!! It reminds me of tall grass blowing in a breeze. It’s actually funny to me to describe freehand quilting designs to someone, I guess it just better to show you. What would you name it? Would you be interested in a video of how I freehand quilt this grassy design?
To enhance the 1/2” pink dotted border, I thought some freehand circles would be fun. Like a string of pearls. To finish off the outer border, a little ribbon candy. I kept the quilting in the flowers simple, and then had fun adding some details to the watering can. I think quilting appliqué can be fun…unless there is too many layers of heavy weight interfacing. Light weight interfacing is preferred and can adequately fuse all your layers together. I really love Flexi Fuse!! I love quilting appliquéd quilts that use it for the interfacing. It’s easy to quilt through all the many layers!
Thanks for coming on by, I hope that life is going well for you!! Take care. • Leisha
Kim’s Mini Quilt
Hello,
I hope you’re safe and doing well!! The weather is certainly crazy right now, take care and know that the rest of us are thinking of and praying for you.
This lovely mini quilt was made by Kim. The pattern is called Sunshine on a Cloudy Day, by Lindsey Weight from Primrose Cottage.
When I custom quilt quilts like this, I was to create a variety of different textures that complement on another. There are lots of curves, yet in the gray fabrics I used an edge ruler, from Linda at The Quilted Pineapple , to quilt some straight lines which frame the star block very nicely. It is actually easy to quilt this exact design continuously all the way around the block. Staring at the middle left point of the block, I quilted the straight line from point to point, then came down the right side of the diamond shape lining up the edge of the ruler on the point of the block. Then back up the left side, doing the same thing. Then off to the next block. If I can custom quilt continuously, I do! The nice thing about starting where I did, the left center point, when I’m done with all the lines, then I can use three of my Circle2™ machine quilting circle rulers to quilt the curves in the star block. All continuously.
I used the 3”, 4”, and 6” Circle2™ rulers to quilt these orange peel petals, as well as the arc in the very center. It does take some practice to get used to using a few rulers at the same time. I keep all the rulers next to me resting on the quilt top. I use one at a time, stopping for a second between swapping out a ruler for another one. If it’s hard for you, or your machine continues to quilt when you slow down, you can always stop the machine or quilt as much as you can with one ruler. In order for it to be continuous however, I can’t completely quilt the four petals in the yellow that form a square, and still be able to quilt the center as well as the orange peels in the white. I have to swap out rulers and quilt the orange peels when I get to the point where it connects to the other designs. I do that whenever I custom quilt, no matter the design. When you plan out a block to custom quilt, try and make it continuous. Not only does it save a lot of time and thread, I think it also shows that the design interlocks, which can be pleasing to the eye.
I love all these curves and textures together. I used a natural white Omni thread from Superior Threads, and Winline’s 8020 cotton poly blend batting.
I used my 9” Circle2™ ruler to quilt the arc curves and the 4” to quilt the petals in the center. I love how these arcs frame the whole quilt so nicely!! They aren’t too hard to quilt either. I do have an old video on my YouTube channel using different rulers to create an arc design in a square, and it also has the center petals. It’s a big square space, so I went slower to make sure that the curves all met up correctly. Check it out here: https://youtu.be/5MPIzU-fiE4
Here is my clear 3”/9” Circle2™ ruler (pictured above). This is another reason this set is so awesome…I have both circles in one ruler!! My Circle2™ sets come with 6 different rulers, ranging in size from 2”-13”. The ruler combinations are 2”/8”, 3”/9”, 4”/10”, 5”/11”, 6”/12”, 7”/13”. It’s great to have that many options in 6 rulers, verses having 12 different rulers. Plus, the design is so handy to hold and use.
- Design Patent D875,574 -
One more look at all those curves and lines!!! Love this so much!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!! Happy sewing/quilting!! •Leisha
Kim’s Winter Nights Quilt
Hello!!
Did you get snowed on, too!! I live in Northern Utah, so snow is just part of life during the winter months. I’ve seen a lot of people who don’t typically get snow, got a ton. I hope you’re safe and you have power.
This lovely quilt was made by Kim!! Pictures just don’t do this one justice. The pattern is by Sherry Falls from This & That Pattern Company. It’s from her Winter Wonderland book and is called Winter Nights.
I love all the beautiful navy fabrics that Kim used, especially with the touch of light blue sashing.
I used a cream Omni thread, and Winline’s 8020 cotton poly blend batting.
We decided on Patricia Ritter and my Frost quilting design!!
It is such a fun quilty texture. It’s the perfect pairing to the star blocks and navy fabrics.
This is a perfect time to talk about thread!! I personally prefer lighter threads on darker fabrics, than darker threads on lighter fabrics. As you can see the cream that I used blends beautifully on the navy fabrics. I truly think it enhances most quilts to choose a neutral color of thread.
Omni thread is my go to thread now!! If you’re a machine quilter, you can buy a thread card that shows to the many Omni colors that Superior Threads offers.
Cream threads on dark backings aren’t always my favorite, but I do love looking at the beautiful dancing “Frost” across the back.
One more, you know, for good measure.
Thanks for being here!! I have an exciting announcement coming soon!! I’ll share here and on my Instagram and Facebook page. Until then, stay safe and warm!!

Sherry’s Starry Night Quilt
This amazing quilt was made by Sherry!! The pattern is called Starry Night by Sew Kind of Wonderful.
Pictures just don’t do this quilt justice. Because it was hard to fit the full quilt in a picture, I captured parts of each section, also hoping that you’ll be able to see the details a little better.
Here is Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus.
The three wiseman.
A camel and a shepherd.
Sherry want it quilted similar to how Jenny Pedigo quilted their Starry Night quilt. I quilted my overlapping circles freehand, in the background. Then I used the Edge rulers from Linda at The Quilted Pineapple. The lines varied throughout the quilt, from horizontal to vertical to curved, which added to the textures.
Donkey and another shepherd.
I used a light cream thread and my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend batting.
I also added some fun little details here and there, as shown here on the angel.
I also used one of my Circle2 machine quilting circle rulers to enhance some of the curves by quilting a quarter of an inch and then adding the rest of the lines. If you look back at all the individual pictures, you can see where I’ve done that.
One last look at the quilt!!
I think I used the 6” or 7” Circle2 ruler for the curves. My Circle2 rulers come in a set of 6 on my website. They range in size from 2”-13”. They come in clear as pictured above, and green as pictured below. Made in America from 1/4” high quality acrylic.
Hope you loved this quilt, too!!! Have a great day! - Leisha
Barbara’s Mystery Quilt
Hello,
I hope that you have had a great week!! It’s been a snowy day here. If you like where it snows, do you spend time sewing? Snow day = sew day? I didn’t sew…I was hoping to get started on another amazing client quilt. I will tomorrow! Hope you were able to sew.
This amazing quilt was made by Barbara!! It is a Mystery Quilt from Under the Garden Moon by Amy McClellan. Village Dry Goods in Brigham City Utah put together. It looks like they may have gathered blocks from several of Amy’s patterns to put this together. If you’re interested in more information, I linked the website above for Village Dry Goods. Their number is listed at the top of their website.
I love the mix of applique with the sewn blocks!!
We decided on my Sweet Orange Peel design for the quilting, and I love how it turned out. Sweet and traditional on this lovely quilt! Sweet Orange Peel is available in my shop. I believe I quilted this one around a 3” height. It is recommended anywhere from 3“-4”.
I used my favorite Winline 8020 batting and a light cream thread.
There are designs that are so versatile, and this is one of them. I have seen it on so many different kinds of quilts!! It can look traditional like it does here, or modern on a more modern quilt pattern. I love it when I create something that has such great quilty texture!!!
This was a quick one, thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend!!

Barbara’s Mini Quilt
Hello!!
I hope you’re each doing well!! I have oodles of quilts to share, but instead of sharing them all in the same post, I’ll share them separately. I asked about that in my last post…one quilt vs. multiple quilts in a post, and the response was the same…one per post. Thanks to those of you who chimed in.
This beautiful mini quilt was made by Barbara!! She has so many fun different quilts that she brings for me to quilt…like this one, and I have a few more of hers to share.
The pattern is called Smack Dab in the Middle by Kim Diehl, from the Whatnots Club.
I wanted to show off and enhance the center part, so I thought the arcs and feathers would be a nice touch!! I love how it turned out!! I used my Circle2™ machine quilting circle rulers to quilt the curves and orange peel petals along the borders and in the center. I think I used the 4” Circle2™ ruler for the petals and my 12” Circle2™ ruler for the curves.
I used Linda from The Quilted Pineapple’s 8” Edge ruler along the borders.
I used a cream Omni thread on the entire quilt, from Superior Threads. It blends beautifully, even on the darker fabrics. Barbara brought a scrap of 8020 batting.
A close up of the center!!
Here is a look at the green set and the clear set stacked up! For more details on my Circle2™ ruler set, go here: https://www.quiltingit.com/blog/2018/10/10/introducing-my-circle2-longarm-circle-ruler-set

Stephanie’s Pirate Tales Quilt
Hi there,
I’m excited to share with you this amazing quilt that Stephanie made!! I think she told me it is paper pieced.
The quilt is called Pirate Tales the pattern designer is…(I’m not sure, I will edit this when I know).
The fabric is by Echo Park Paper Company from Riley Blake, and is called Pirate Tales.
Stephanie left the custom quilting up to me, she suggested something geometric. I decided on designs that would enhance the quilt pattern. I love it!!
Pictures don’t do it justice!!
I love how the quilting in all the borders frames the block so nicely.
I decided to do my favorite random angled lined design at 1/4”, using the Edge rulers from Linda at The Quilted Pineapple. I actually used them for all the lines I quilted throughout the quilt.
In the star itself I quilted a variety of different lines that enhance the shape. I used a light cream thread on everything but the black fabrics, which I used black thread on. I also used Hobbs wool batting.
Below you can see what I just did in each of the borders. Ribbon candy, circles with a swirl in every other one, pinstripes in the black thin border, and the 4 point star in the nine patch. I love what the four corners look like together. You can see another bigger star.
Another look at the borders.
With more ribbon candy on the outer border. I love all the textures together. Quilting adds so much personality to a quilt.
It’s so rewarding to see a quilt come together and see the end result, especially when I do this much ruler work.
Hope you enjoyed Stephanie’s quilt. Lots of more fun quilts to share!! Hope you’re working on some fun projects.

Kristan’s Evandale Quilt
Hello! I hope that your year is off to a good start. I have sooo many quilts to share with you, but I have a question. Would you prefer blog posts with just one quilt or a bunch of different quilts? I know it can get time consuming to read a long post and look at a bunch of pictures. But, I also don’t want to flood your inbox with lots of emails. Please comment below, which you’d prefer. For now I may try doing one quilt a post, or if I quilted multiple quilts for one of my clients, the. I’ll do all of hers in one post.
This incredible quilt was made by Kristan!! It’s by Leonie Bateman and it’s her Evandale quilt pattern. I try and link patterns or other things that I use to quilt in these blog posts. If you word “Evandale” above, that is underlined, it will take you to the pattern.
Also, a little tip! When you can, buy directly from the pattern designer. Same goes for quilting designs. The product is the exact same. You’re helping the designer earn more for the work that they’ve done. When companies sell our patterns or designs they take a portion of the sale. I’m grateful for those who sell my designs on their website’s and the company that I co-design with, don’t get me wrong. I appreciate all the support that I’ve gotten over the years with my designs!!! Thank you so much!
This quilt is truly incredible!!
In the tan background throughout the quilt I quilted a freehand people design. I actually have this same design digitized and available at Urban Elementz. It’s called Soda Pop and is by Patricia Ritter and myself. I also quilted some feathers and other details in the appliqué.
Here is a close up of the borders that are around the center block. Some ribbon candy, tiny circles in the thinnest border, some crosshatch pinstripes in the diamonds and some back and forth lines behind the diamonds to make them pop more.
Here is a close up on the flying geese. Initially I quilted a orange peel with the additional arc inside the flying geese, but then decided to add the same swirl hook design that I did on the blocks in the biggest border. Which is fun to do!! I love to put the same design in more than one place on a custom quilted quilt. It ties the overall design together better. I used one of my Circle2™ machine quilting circle rulers to quilt the orange peel and arc. I should have written it down. I think I used the 6” or 7” circle. I can’t remember. The reason I only sell the set is because each quilt is different. For one quilt you’ll need a 3” or 4”, for another quilt you made need the 9”. The circles range in size from 2”-13”.
Here is a look at the biggest Circle2™ ruler the 7”/13”. This is from the clear set, they are also available in green. - Design Patent D875,574 -
I used my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline, and a golden tan thread for the entire quilt.
Here are a couple of the blocks that are in the biggest border. You’ll see in the center star that same swirly hook design. I actually posted a video on my Instagram back when I quilted it, on how to quilt it. Click here to be taken to it: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CGdoL4bn8sk/?igshid=17j2p2r1xy0qn
I used my favorite 8” Edge ruler from Linda at The Quilted Pineapple to quilt all the lines on this quilt.
One last look at the full quilt!!
Here is a look at the green set of my Circle2™ rulers, all stacked up.
These are made in the USA from high quality 1/4” acrylic. For more info on them go to this blog post. https://www.quiltingit.com/blog/2018/10/10/introducing-my-circle2-longarm-circle-ruler-set
