Quilts for Kids Music quilt

Patti — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 20:41:36 GMT

This is another charity quilt for www.quiltsforkids.org. This one was made with my own fabrics and I replaced the large focus fabric squares in the pattern with plain blocks embroidered with music designs. I was thinking that this would be a good quilt for an older child with an interest in music.

I quilted this on my longarm with a music notes pantograph and the laser light.

This is a charity quilt, made with a fabric kit sent to me by www.quiltsforkids.org. I'm not crazy about the fabrics, but the pattern was simple and it went together easily. I quilted it on my longarm using a spirals pantograph and the laser light.

Things That Go quilt

I began this quilt back in 2005 for a little boy named Joshua, but never got around to finishing it. I pulled it out a few days ago and started cutting the plain blocks and piecing the quilt. Today I quilted it on the longarm and added the binding. It will now be for a little boy named Isaac, as Joshua is probably too old for it now. :-D

The vehicle blocks are all appliqued and the words are embroidered. I quilted it using a pantograph with vehicles on it. The backing is a combination of fleece and cotton, as the fleece wasn't wide enough to cover the back.
