This quilt is for a little guy turning one year soon and he loves the farm and all about farm animals and life.

Pink and lime table topper
A lovely table topper but not without posing problems. This topper too was previously quilted by someone else but the quilter was not satisfied and unpicked most of the stitches but not all. This quilt therefore arrived here with batting and backing still attached and I honestly did not have the time (or patience) to unpick the rest, so the whole thing was loaded as a top only with new batting and backing.
The
difficulty in this is that I couldn’t keep the top from not having puckers (due
to the already added batting) therefore had to do dense pebbling to contain or
hide any bubbling.
All is
however well that ends well.

Burgundy sampler
I do believe this was number 4 of the 5 quilts I received on one day and another sampler. This time however with heaps of different small quilt blocks with defined burgundy triangles to bring all together as a unit.
With the
quilt and fabric being as busy as it is, we decided to simply do edge-to-edge
quilting on the bigger parts of the quilt with just a different motif in the
burgundy triangles using only two different colours of thread.
This photo shows some of the details on the back and border.

Colourful sampler
We had two of the older windows in the house replaced with new aluminium windows with invisible burglar bars and although my house was noisy for two days, this small change improved the total look of these two rooms. I simply did not like the painted steel bars.
Next up was
the colourful sampler with plenty of space and place for me to create some
texture with free-motion motifs. This turned
out prettier than I anticipated.
And finally, the back although I only showed some of the areas/blocks on the front.

Chevron 1
This is the first of the 5 quilts I mentioned in my previous post and one of a twin. The next quilt is the same size and uses the same pattern and fabric, only the placement of these differs somewhat.
