Recently I quilted 3 quilts made from the same pattern. They were sent to me by friends Randi, Maritza and Pam. The pattern was offered as a Block of the Month last year on the internet show “The Quilt Show” with Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims. The quilt features some New York Beauty Blocks and some gorgeous applique. All three of my quilt top makers did a fabulous job. With varying fabric choices, and with some variation in the applique, each looks totally different. My challenge was to do vary the quilting as well.
This first one was pieced and appliqued by Randi. Her colors are bright and cheerful.
Maritza’s quilt (except for the borders) has much lower contrast giving it a softer look. I quilted a lot of pebbles in this one.
The fabric choices in Pam’s quilt achieved high contrast. I would have never thought to use these colors, but is works!
Very striking.
It was a fun challenge doing these three quilts. But I am also glad they are finished and out the door!
the piecing and applique is perfect and beautiful on all three quilts
Pam, your quilting enhances the precise beautiful work these women did
a team accomplishment, congratulations on beautiful finished quilts.

Beautiful quilts, I nearly feel like quilting! I like the bright one but the other two might make me change my mind!

I do like the bright colors in the first one. But it was interesting to see how the quilt looked in other colors. I hope you do catch the quilting bug regardless!
