Sunflowers on White

This quilt was so much fun to work on. I quilted quarter, half and whole sunflowers in the background and then added leaves and swirls. Pebbles, loops, and vines decorate the pieced sunflowers. For the yellow border I finally gave up the handles and let the robotics shine. I wish I could have kept this one!

More complex than the basic nine patch this quilt is stunning. Again, I brought the design from the backing to the front of the quilt in the quilting design. Lavender thread was the perfect accent.

What a delight to quilt this incredible medallion quilt. I chose a flower pattern that brings the print of the backing to the front but used an invisible thread so that the piecing stays center stage. If I could have kept this quilt, I would have, as the colors are in my palette.
