Butterfly quilt

Penny B. made this quilt out of her father's old shirts.  After making the background, she fused the butterflies on top and finished with a satin stitch.  It will be a nice memory quilt for their family.

Penny wanted very simply quilting.  All the squared are SID, the butterflies are SID with a meander inside and there are simple flowing lines between the butterflies across the quilt.  It turned out just like she imagined.    

Log Cabin Quilt

This is a wonderful memory quilt, pieced by Joan Dolinar.  It has log cabin blocks, set in a traditional barn raising style.  The pictures are of her daughter, from her wedding, to her family.

 I did a free-hand feather in the "light" side of the log cabin block and SID in the dark.  I used Wool batting, which makes it a bit loftier and the pictures stand out as well as the log piecing.

 On the table...

 This is the border. 

 I put a frame around each photo, then SID around each photo.

 Borders, view from the back.
