Weekly Finish #32: Silver Wolf Panel Quilt

-

 Silver Wolf Panel Quilt


Finished Size: 81" x 89"


I finally finished this quilt for my daughter that I posted about here when I finished the top in January.


I didn't have a pattern but was inspired by a quilt I saw at a quilt show.


I love how the pillow panels add to the overall quilt design.


I used an E2E quilting design with pine trees and grass which I thought was perfect for the wolves in the forest print.  This was the first time using this design and I'm a little disappointed with it because you can see where the "grass" looks like a line of zigzags.  It kinda annoys me but overall it looks fine. 


The backing is pieced with a leftover print from the top and a different print with more wolves.  And, I used Warm & Natural batting.


And, of course, a quilt is not completely finished until the label is on.


I am really happy with this quilt and can't wait to give it to my daughter for her birthday in January.  She lives in Kentucky so I'll have to mail it to her although I am a little apprehensive about that.  I'll just have to keep the faith that it gets to her safely.

I'm happy to join these linky parties.  Be sure to visit them to see what other quilters are sharing.
Until next time ... 
Be happy and keep on quilting!

    Your quilt is lovely. You did a great job of using the pillow panels in the overall design. The hardest thing for me is finding backing fabric in my stash. (Mainly because I seldom buy a lot of yardage on ‘speculation’.) you did great piecing the backing. Your daughter will love it.

    Such a lovely quilt! That panel is very pretty and the quilt you made with it is perfect. Love the quilting choice you made for it. Your daughter is simply going to love it. Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.

Tutorial: Fold and Turn Coasters

-

These fold-and-turn coasters are SO easy and fun to make!  I first saw this pattern in 2002 at a guild meeting, and the instructions were handwritten.  There were no pictures … only hand drawings.  Well, we’ve come a long way in 8 years! I made this set of 4 coasters to include with the potholders I made for Amy’s Potholder Pass #2 . These coasters were made with five 5-inch cotton squares and one 5-inch flannel square.  These can also be made in other sizes so long as the squares are equal-size.  Suggested square sizes range from 4-1/2” to 6” … your choice.  You may also use one 5-inch batting square, but I found batting was a tad too thick.  But, again, your choice. Instructions: (1) Y ou will choose three different fabrics.  Two fabrics will be used for the top of the coaster and one will be used for the bottom (backing).  I chose the light blue for the bottom: (2) Cut fabric to the desired square size.  I used 5” squares. (3) Lay flannel (or batting) s

Weekly Finish #13: Halloween No Point Stars 2020

  I previously posted about my Halloween No Point Stars top and I am happy to say that I finally finished the quilt ... just in time for Halloween! I used a polyester snow blanket remnant for the batting.  Yes, a snow blanket used for Christmas villages.  This was not originally intentional.  I didn't want to use Warm & Natural as I was not going to use this as a "blanket" but rather as a display/decoration.  I wanted a lightweight batting so I looked through my bin of batting remnants and found what I thought was just right. As I was basting the quilt, I noticed some glitter - not much - just a tiny bit on the "batting".  It finally dawned on me why it felt a little different!  How did this snow blanket get mixed in with my regular batting remnants?  Anyway, I was already halfway done so I decided to go with it. I didn't have any Halloween fabric large enough for a backing but I found this black-and-white toile fabric, which is  actually a curtain made

Weekly Finish...Or Not: Shoo Fly & Vintage Inspired Churn Dash Tops

-

This Shoo Fly top is a re-do of the very first quilt I made on my own way back in 1999. This is my darling granddaughter who decided the quilt was hers.  She was only 3 years old at the time.  The quilt is long gone as it was very much loved. This is the magazine pattern I used to make both quilts.  I wanted to use a similar floral print with white daisies and red background as my original but couldn't find anything I liked.  I'm happy with my re-creation and I think I'll give it to her for her birthday. I don't know what possessed me to recreate an old damaged quilt top I found in the wild.  Maybe I was influenced by other quilters who have been inspired by vintage quilts and have created beautiful quilts from them. This is the original top I found a few years ago, probably in the clearance bins at the thrift store.  I'm sure I only paid a couple of dollars because it was badly damaged.  There are burned edges are the big hole.  I knew if I didn't save it that
