Quilting, Americana Eagle Quilt

Quilting the Americana Eagle Quilt

I got a little more quilting done on the Americana Eagle quilt today.

Quilting Has Begun on the Americana Eagle Quilt

After a delay to work on customer quilts, make a birthday quilt (Jeremy's Elk panel quilt), make a rag-shag rug, and do a bit of spring cleaning, I've started the quilting on the Americana Eagle quilt!  

I'm using two layers of batting, in order to make the quilting more defined.  Next to the backing is a layer of Hobbs Heirloom Premium 80/20 (80% cotton, 20% polyester).  An top of that is Hobbs Poly-Down Premium Polyester.

The first border is done.  The loft seems good.  The last picture shows the rulers I am using to make the quilting design.

Finished Quilting Shellie's Cancer Quilt

Saturday I finished quilting my customer's quilt.  She made it for a friend who is being treated for ovarian cancer.  The quilt measures 50" x 60", and the pantograph is called 'Show Your Support'.

Quilting Shellie's Cancer Quilt

This is a quilt my customer made for a friend who has ovarian cancer.  It measures 50" x 60".  I've almost reached the halfway point in the quilting.  The pantograph is called 'Show Your Support'.

Customer's Grand Illusion Quilt

Yesterday I quilted this Grand Illusion quilt (a Bonnie Hunter design) for my customer.  It's 90" x 90", and the pantograph is Fleur des Lys.

Customer's Americana Quilt

My customer's 41" x 57" Americana quilt is all quilted.  I used #40 King Tut variegated 'Sheaves' thread by Superior on top, and #60 Bottom Line medium blue in the bobbin.  The pantograph is 'Ribbons & Stars'.
