Recent Quilts

You know I am a big fan of Sue Spargo Designs.

Sue is a wildly successful, internationally known quilt artist.

Her Block of the Month program is huge.

This Birds of a Feather quilt is the 2013 BOM.

I will probably be doing several of these in the upcoming year.

When I do duplicates of the same quilt top...

I stitch the backings together 

(since they are the same size and I use the same colored threads)

and load them onto my longarm machine.

Once the background quilting is done on both tops

I can roll them back and forth and do the finishing details.

Here is an example of the same bird from each of the different makers.

Similar....but different. 

I bet you are wondering if I ever 

get them mixed up and don't know which belongs to who???

Good Question!

As soon as they come into my house I pin a name tag on each part.

I keep a name tag pinned on each quilt the whole time it is here.

Yes, that would be a nightmare getting them mixed up!

The one on the left is Midge's and the right is Andrea's. 

Or is it the other way around? LOL

I hope you are being creative today!
