Japanese Quilt Antique Angel BOM made by Krina

Antique Angel BOM Quilt made by Krina

I just had to share this quilt with you today. This quilt was a Block of the Month (BOM) offered by the Antique Angel Quilt shop several years ago.  It was made with Japanese cotton fabrics which have a deeper texture than normal quilting cotton.  Oh my, when it was quilted the texture came up beautifully and it was mesmerising to watch it stitch out.

My initial thoughts when presented with an appliqued quilt is to custom quilt it it, but on this occasion the right thread and the right pattern did the trick.  The pattern is 'Bird's Eye View' designed by Barbara Becker, the thread was Glide Husky.  The result was stunning.

Hexagon Garden Jelly Roll quilt' made by Lorna

'Hexagon Garden' Jelly Roll Quilt made by Lorna

The first few month of 2019 have been very busy here at Fabadashery Longarm Quilting and I can't believe that it will be May next week. Recently, Lorna brought me this Jelly Roll quilt for quilting.  The pattern is 'Hexagon Garden' and is a pattern by Pam and Nicky Lintott.  As I add new digital quilting patterns to my collection, I m always keen to see them stitched out and Lorna gave me the chance to see' Bubbles' for the first time.  You can see more of the patterns that I have available on my Pinterest Page.

In the past I have managed to take part in several of Bonnie Hunter's annual Mystery Quilts.  You won't see one from me this year, but Eirwen has completed her 2018 'Good Fortune' Mystery quilt and did a great job at using up her scraps at the same time.

using Celery Glide thread

Trying to find a thread colour which will look good with red, orange, blue, green and cream is a tricky decision.  As I have built up my experience, I have found that green threads tend to blend well with many colours and are great on a scrappy quilt.  On this occasion I used Celery Glide thread.  I understand that the quilting pattern Bonnie Hunter used on her Good Fortune Mystery quilt was 'Arcadia', which is the pattern we used also, which you can see below.

I don't think this will be the last 'Good Fortune' quilt I will be quilting.
