 I've begun working on grandson Nathanael's quilt, which I think I will call 'All Creatures Great and Small'.  This is the central section.  It's still in three parts; I need to sew it together, add a couple of borders to frame it, and then design some fancy borders.

 This evening I finished quilting my friend's Dick, Jane, & Sally quilt.  The backing is flannel.  She made it for her newest grandbaby, who will be arriving any day now.

Quilting A Friend's Dick, Jane, & Sally Quilt

 







Starry Night Wolves Quilt Done

The Starry Night Wolves quilt for grandson Lyle is done.  It measures 94" x 107".  I used Quilters' Dream wool batting.  There are numerous colors of thread in the top, mostly 40-wt., but a few 50-wt. in the central wolves panel.  The brands are Omni, Signature, Masterpiece, and Gutermann.

The panel is called 'Wolves Dream Catcher' and is by Riley Blake Designs.  I designed the borders in EQ8, using blocks called 'Delectable Mountains' and 'LeMoyne Single Irish Chain', and 'Striped Grooves' outer border.

Here's a breakdown of the hours spent on this quilt:




























Binding -- sewn to the back, wrapped around to the front, and finished with a narrow blanket stitch.
