Posting for Nannie Diggs:

I made up this pattern using Moda charm squares on the front and a stunning complementary sunflower motif for the backing. The CL square dance template was a great choice on this colorful quilt. It is an easy template to follow and provides great results. Quilt measures approximately 52 x 68.”

Here is a quilt done with the zigzag template. I think the pattern sequence is nicknamed 'Two Lips', but Michael - you can correct me on this. I tried some tips with picture making, but I still need work.

I did this one floating the quilt top. I think it is a bit easier this way to meet the previous points when rolling up the quilt.

We should be getting very close to the 300 mark.

Blue and White China - Swirlz

This is a lap size quilt made by Donna M. from charm squares. She has it displayed in her dining room because it matches her blue and white china.

It's a simple quilt and yet the swirlz give it sophistication and helps it look like the dishes.

Templates used: Sunburst and Crosshatching

Batting: Quilter's Dream Puff (Thank you, Seakitten!)

Thread: Superior Polyquilter (top and bottom)

I wanted to try combining several techniques using the CL templates:

1) machine applique on the long arm - I anchored the batik butterflies with the CL Sunburst and then "appliqued" around each butterfly with the Longarm.

2) Raggedy edge Chenille - I applied flannel and satin squares to the surface of the quilt (after it was loaded) using CL Crosshatching. I also cut the chenille raggedy edge style while it was still on the frame.

Lots of fun!

I have to confess to being a total flake. I set out to make this quilt last week specifically with using the Sakura boards to quilt it with, I just love them and wanted to try them out.

Last night with some help from Michael, I resolved a problem I was having and got everything ready to quilt... when my newly arrived 7 Treasures of Buddha boards caught my eye, and on a whim I decided that would look better on this quilt than the Sakura.

This quilt had a mind of it's own from start to finish!

Customer Quilt

This quilt was 58 x 58 inches

The Circles was a panel cut up and put borders around them

All I had to do is out line the pattern in the circles freehand

Then I put the waves template on the outer border

and wavey lines on the smaller borders.

So glad to give the quilt back my eyes were going funny looking at it
