Sue's Geometric Baby Quilt with Blooms Quilting Pattern

Sue brought me this quilt which she had made for a family member. I should have taken a photo of the backing fabric which was a lovely floral fabric and ended up being the inspiration for the floral quilting pattern on the front. Initially, we were unsure of how to mix the modern and floral, but the quilting pattern, Blooms designed by Anne Bright, worked wonderfully.

Nicola's Nellie Grey Quilt, quilted by Frances Meredith at Fabadashery Longarm Quilting

Nicola brought this smashing modern quilt to me at Fabadashery Longarm Quilting.  With such a strong directional, geometric design, one particular quilting pattern seemed perfect for it - Modern Curves by Anita Shackleford. A strong design deserves a strong quilting finish and I think this did the trick. This quilt design is called 'Nellie Gray' and is a pattern from Emma Jean Jansen's quilt book "By the Bundle".
