SplittingStitches Longarm Quilting: September Quilting

In September I had the pleasure of working with another great batch of gorgeous quilts. Each quilt was better than the last, so many talented gals.

Here's a couple from Brandy in PA. Both amazing but so different! Her first is a black and white trimmed out in a beautiful blue for the sashing and borders. The colors give an overall feel that is soothing and calming, absolutely wonderful. Her next quilt she really pops the bright colors setting the nine patch blocks in bright fabrics with the high contrast of the fabric colors.

Next we have Diane from here in NH. If my memory serves me correctly Diane is a relatively new quilter and beginning with a bang! How beautiful is this scrappy quilt using white as the opposite color for the blocks? Can't help but to fall in love with this great quilt.

Dianne, also here in NH had some really fantastic fabrics that hold their own in this large block quilt. Sometimes you just really hate to chop those delicious fabrics and this quilt pattern is perfect for those prints. With the Asian theme of the fabrics we opted for a dragonfly ginkgo quilting design.

Oh my gosh!! This is just the most perfect little boy quilt!! Donna from over in VT sent me her top, we got our hands on some super soft Minky, added a layer of batting making this the best quilt ever! Then when you see the little dinosaur quilting design that perfectly matches Donna's top, it's just doesn't get any better!

Dorothy kept me busy for a bit. First up we have a couple of table toppers that she whipped up using her leftover fabrics. We opted to quilt each one with a different quilting design just for the fun of it. And how stunning is her quilt? I just fell in love with this design and the piano key border is the best!

Judy in NC never fails to send the best of the best! Here's her latest quilt and it does not disappoint! How absolutely amazing is this quilt? From what I understand it was a block of the month and it was a hum-dinger to finish! I had another quilter comment that it was one of the hardest quilt that she had ever pieced, which is pretty much just echoing what Judy told me. But the end result was definitely worth it. This quilt is a keeper!

Here's one of Katherine's quilts. I can't seem to locate the photos of her other one! Typical of Katherine's colors in the browns, deep red and burgundies, this is another one of those cozy, warm and comfy quilts that you just can't resist. Great job Katherine!

Here's a quilt from Kathleen in TX. The great design of this quilt called for a very simple quilting design. Kathleen opted to have it stippled/meander which finished it off wonderfully. Great selection of colors and prints.

Scrappy quilts are a favorite for me. Lisa made a huge dent in her scraps with this top! This quilt went from scraps to outstanding with just a little time and work. But how amazing the end results are! I am always fascinated by the mix of fabric prints on the scrappy ones. They all come together in the end to create the most delightful finished quilt.

Rita is back this month with another one of her super huge, super incredible gorgeous quilts. This one is all bright and colorful stars set in the white background. The checker board, piano key like and strip border is terrific for the center stars. So bright and colorful! We went with a super swirly design and it finished it off brilliantly!

Suzi spent a few hours making the bright and colorful flying geese for this next quilt. Her color choices are spot on making this a very cheery quilt. It's my understanding this quilt is a gift for a co-worker who is retiring. Lucky to have Suzi on that staff, she does make some of the best quilts ever!

Vanessa sent this happy, happy quilt for a little quilting. It's for a new little person in Vanessa's life. She envisioned this bright quilt being used at nap time so we found the most perfect star quilting design. It's a very whimsical star and so perfect for this little quilt. Great job Vanessa!
