Border Fabrics

I've just been to our LQS, Sew What, and purchased these fabrics for borders for the Vintage Airplanes quilt.

 

Vintage Airplane Pieces

 I'm ready to start sewing all these pieces of the Vintage Airplane quilt together.  This quilt is for grandson Justin, who's 12.

'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.

Quilting Finished on 'For Love of a Chihuahua'

 The quilting is finished on the 'For Love of a Chihuahua' quilt.  Now for the binding!

Quilting 'For Love of a Chihuahua'

 Nine hours of quilting today (including printing the pantograph, 'Sonnet', and affixing it to the table on the quilting frame), and I have passed the halfway point.  More info once the quilt is finished.

Blocks Appliquéd on Chihuahua Quilt

 The ten puppy blocks are appliquéd on the 'For Love of a Chihuahua' quilt.  I'm ready to put together the backing!
