Donna's X's and O's Quilt, Quilting Finished

Last night I finished quilting my customer's X's and O's quilt.  It measures 90" x 105".  The pantograph is 'Meandering Dove'.  I used white Superior #50 So Fine thread on top, and white Superior #60 Bottom Line thread in the bobbin.

Baskets of Lilies Quilt Top Together, Except Borders

The Baskets of Lilies quilt top is all together now, except for the borders.  Twenty more appliquéd flowers will extend into the borders.  I plan to put fabric yo-yos in the center of each appliquéd flower after quilting is complete.

16 Appliqué Blocks for the Baskets of Lilies Quilt

Today I appliqued the petals for the 16 interior appliqué blocks for the Baskets of Lilies quilt.  There are 20 more flowers to appliqué; they will be on the outer half-blocks and extend into the borders.  There will be sashes and cornerstones between the blocks.

Seven More Blocks

Today I completed seven (and a half) more 14" Carolina Lily blocks for the Baskets of Lilies quilt.  A total of 12 of these blocks are done now, with 13 more to go.  After that, the 36 appliqué blocks.






Thinking I might quit after five, I took a picture of all the blocks together... then decided to sew two more together.
