Sherry's Big Pansies



This is a lasagna style quilt done with strips with the sweetest little pansy flowers in it. I decided to quilt giant pansies all over with leaves and loops. I used Old Gold thread by PermaCore and Quilter's Dream Select batting.

Another QOV


I got this little log cabin variation in red, white and blue is a peach. I used Signature White thread and the Julie Mullin Star-Spangled Banner panto. It is my sincere desire that it bring comfort to the recipient.

A Quilt for Heather

Hi Heather, what a sweet little quilt this is. I have 3 ideas for you. I see that you have the batting in the quilt. I just brought back my $5.00 thread charge. It was suspended about a year ago because I had over 270 cones of thread. I am not going to charge you for thread on this one, it is so small. But I wanted you to know that the charge is back. The shipping is probably about $7.00. So here are my ideas;
-- a basic stipple would be $44.61
-- a meander with leaves and loops, maybe some ribbons
-- a meander of feathers like the one I did for your niece would be $51.48
-- a big swirl pattern would be $60.54
-- a circular pattern called 7 Treasures $60.54

Here is the #3 choice feather meander















This is a quilt done with the swirls pattern by another quilter:


















And this one is a quilt done with 7 Treasures by a quilter named Carol Lyon:

BQ for LA

Hello Perla,
I had not realized that you were talking about a custom quilt design rather than the edge-to-edge I quoted for you previously. Yes, I can do custom quilting but it requires more time so it is more expensive. The edge-to-edge that I quoted was priced at .01 cent per square inch.

Custom quilting starts at 2 cents a square inch and goes up. I can do a fill in the background. The fill can be stipple, swirls or a McTavish look. I can put feathers in the sashing but I think that the feathers should span both sashing strips rather than having side by side feathers.

Now the blocks. You didn't say what size the blocks are but I have several stencils that might interest you. I use either Miracle chalk or a water-rinsable quilt marking pen. I have never had a client tell me that they had any problems getting the marks off but you need to know that the quilt may have some residual marking until it is rinsed. It must also be kept away from heat until the marks are removed; that includes a hot car.

Here are some possibilities for a 90 x 90 quilt:
These are called Sojourner Truth, Leaf Wreath and Soft Square (left to right)
The price (including the 20% discount) would be $159.47 with poly batting
or with cotton batting $167.23






And here are two which would be 2.5 cents an inch.These are called Hawaiian Fern (left) and feather wreath (right).
Either of these patterns for a 90 x 90 quilt would be $194.38 using Poly batting;
with cotton batting $204.07.

Race cars and 9-patch

Hi Lori,
I have seen your race car quilt. It is so cute. I have some ideas for you.

I can quilt alternating square spirals and round spirals and do a simple wave border.

Or I can do one of these pantos:

Check and Chase


Beep-beep


Swirls


Spiral path


or Hot Rod
