Burgoyne's Surround

Recently I've been doing a slew of custom quilts.  This quilt kicked it all off.  I had a lot of fun doing.  I wanted to keep the feel of the quilt traditional, but give it a bit of a modern touch as well.

Cindy did a beautiful job piecing this quilt.  She used her low volumes in the background and a pop of color for the lines and circles. I used 70/30 Quilters Dream batting as a base layer and  Dream Wool on the top to make it all pop even more.

On the back Cindy used this beautiful 55" essex linen which gave the quilt a nice weight.  I've had several customers use this lately on their backs and they tell me it's nice and soft after a couple of washes.

Cathy's Charity Quilt

Cathy paper pieced the kites on this beautiful quilt she made for a charity auction for CASA.  The highest bid came in at $950...amazing! I used this fantastic Irish Swirls wind pattern.

Peggy's Pinwheel

Peggy wanted the pinwheels on this quilt to stand out.  I digitized these curves to give it lots of movement as well.  

Cathy's Picnic Quilt

Love this top Cathy put together for her daughters for family outings and picnics!  I kept the feel very geometric, while adding some curves with the loops and feathers.

Gypsy Wife Quilt

The modern curve quilting really compliments his Gypsy Wife patten pieced by Dana.

Mitzi's Linen Quilt

You all do this, right? Yeah, me, too! ;)

Maybe this is why I sew on a Bernina!

Cindy's Linen Quilt

Cindy made this lovely linen quilt for her daughter.  Simple straight line quilting complements the geometric piecing in the top.
