Root Beer and Cotton Candy

I got to quilt another Root Beer and Cotton Candy quilt.

            

 

Here's a close up of some of the blocks. This picture is more true to the color of the quilt.

I did freehand feathers in the border, ribbons and diamonds in some of the pinwheels and diagonal lines in the others. In the square in the square blocks, I did Terry Twists and I did continues curves in all the small squares surrounding  the blocks.I love doing the design in the sashing. I think it adds softness to the overall feel of the quilting.

 

Thanks for looking and please come back!                                              

 

Where has a year gone?

 Hard to believe but it's gone.  I spent most of it going to school.....It's official. I have an Associates Degree! Since jobs are still not plentiful in the Rockford area I'm working at a quilt shop. Not what I went to school for but it's a great job and I'm having fun.  Next week I get to go and work at the 2011 Quilt Expo in Madison, Wisconsin. It's a large show put on by Nancy Zieman of  Nancy's Notions. Should be lost of fun.

                       I did manage to get a customer's quilt finished                                                      
                        

                                                                                                                                                                  

I used a Pantograph for the center of the quilt and did freemotion quilting in the border. I was pleased with the way it turned out and the customer liked it too.

I'm still working on the Wool Applique but I'll save that for another post.
