I've ordered some background fabric for 'Consider the Heavens', and am now hunting through my stash for coordinating and contrasting fabrics.

Playing with EQ8, and here's the design for the next quilt, 'Consider the Heavens', which will be for grandson Grant, age 11. I have the center panel, and an all-over glow-in-the dark galaxy print for the backing.

'For Love of a Chihuahua' Quilt Complete
The 'For Love of a Chihuahua' quilt for granddaughter Juliana is all done. It was breezy today, and kept rippling the quilt or turning it into a balloon. 😅 The quilt measures 75" x 83". I designed it in EQ8. The Chihuahua panel and all-over print were designed by David Textiles, Inc. The pantograph is called 'Sonnet', by Patricia E. Ritter and Valerie Smith. I used a 40-wt. coral variegated King Tut thread called 'Valley of the Kings' on top, and 60-wt. coral Bottom Line thread in the bobbin. The batting is Quilters' Dream wool. Quilted on an 18" Handi Quilter Avanté. My machine is hand-guided, not computer-driven.
