Another Quilt Is Done ... But First Julep & Derby

 The westies adore being wrapped in a warm

blanket straight from the dryer. 

 They love to look out this window in hopes for anything

to move through the woods in their direction.

 Julep put in a request for her own personal

westie size quilt so I've added that to my

quilting production schedule for this year.

Another grand kid quilt is completed.

This quilt is for granddaughter #1 ... Daisy

 Daisy is an artist {like her parents}.  She can draw and

paint amazing things.  Her mom said she is into fashion,

and flappers ... so this was what I came up with.  Maybe

this will inspire Daisy to design fabric.

 The back of Daisy's quilt is TOTALLY opposite of the front.

{thanks Candy for the encouragement to take this bold step}

 With opposites in fabric and style I figure I have a

50% chance that she'll like one of the sides.

 This quilt took on a life of its own.

I kept adding the fashion blocks on the front panel.

To date this is the longest quilt I've made at approximately

2-1/2 yards of fabric.

 This was a monster to push through my sewing machine

to quilt.  Because of the size I did more than the

usual amount of quilting.  Hard to tell I used a 

bright yellow thread on the back.

 The blocks are made from the custom ordered fabric 

I found on Spoonflower.com.

 Candy {at the Quilt Vine} suggested a solid inside border to 

frame the blocks.  We worked on finding just the right two border

fabrics to add a little more overall width.

Since Daisy is 'into' fashion and lives in Los Angeles 

this fabric was perfect for her quilt.  So now that this 

is done I have two more quilts to make.  The quilt for William

will be a Michael Jackson theme and the quilt for Casey will

be a Paris and dance theme.  Then it's on to the turtle quilt

for my mom.
