Organic wavy lines in grey thread. Grey because it was threaded in the machine, with a full bobbin. 😊
A colourful backing, with an orange striped binding.
I follow this tutorial by Quilts + Colour. I use 2.5-inch accent squares rather than a 2.5 x 4.5 inch rectangle.
The above photos were taken late this afternoon. I finished quilting the other one tonight, but by 8:00 p.m., it was too dark for photos. Basement photos are blah. I'll have to take better photos tomorrow.
**Photos have been updated.
An all-over stipple with orange thread. This one has orange minky fabric on the back.
I am not ready for summer to be over...lights are needed in the house by 7:30 p.m., and the temperature drops quite considerably in the evening.
If you have a finish this week, consider linking up with:

ReplyDelete34 x 72 inches = a coffin size!
ReplyDeleteTotally jealous of your stipple skills. I can't do that at all.
What sweet quilts! Love your stippling too!
ReplyDeleteYour sample quilts are lovely. Big enough that students get an idea of what they are doing but not so daunting that it scares them off.
ReplyDeleteI am not ready for summer to be over yet, either. The samples are great and I hope that the classes are fun. :)
ReplyDeletejelly rolls are such fun and love the splash of orange you have added here
ReplyDeleteThe cutest quilts! Mistakes are always welcome when you end up with 2 quilts!
ReplyDeleteTerrific idea to cut the odd-sized quilt in two! I still have yet to make a Jelly Roll race quilt, but maybe on the 16th....
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I've never been drawn to making a jelly roll race quilt. I could have summer year round.
ReplyDeleteI have a jelly roll race type quilt that I am so unhappy with. I have been trying to think of how to make it better.....maybe cut it into 2 baby quilts and add a fun backing??? Hmmmm. Food for thought. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI love these! The pops of orange are perfect against all of the blue prints.
ReplyDeleteThose pops of orange really brighten up these quilts! I've never been a fan of the jelly roll race quilts, but with accent squares I like it much better. Good luck with your two classes. I'm not at all ready for summer to be over, either :)
