Year of Scrappy Triangles from Night Owl Quilting

Liz brought this striking quilt in for some custom quilting. A few members of my local quilt guild got inspired to do some paper piecing and followed The Year of Scrappy Triangles blog post by Leila Gardunia. https://www.leilagardunia.com/blog/year-of-scrappy-triangles They did it at a faster pace, approximately one per day as time allowed.

The nature of these blocks allow for seemingly endless possibilities for unique layouts. With the layout Liz selected, the black background to the paper pieced triangles became a prominent and interesting feature to the quilt. Liz agreed with my suggestion of using a ...

Marlene and I discussed a few of her quilting likes and dislikes but she said she prefers not to say too much and let her longarmer decide. The hardest part for me was coming up with a plan for the pieced blocks. I took my inspiration ...

Summer Lake Log Cabin from Night Owl Quilting

Lori brought me this Summer Lake Log Cabin quilt with a request for custom quilting. The pictures of this quilt are a bit deceiving, as the contrast between the light and dark hand dyed fabrics are much more dramatic in the photos than they are in person. Lori was hoping custom quilting would help to enhance the pattern.

I used a different quilting motif in each of the sections to help enhance them. For the outer border I stitched in the ditch between the pieced piano keys. The greek key element was subtle in the next border, so I used ...
