Timmy's quilt

Timmy's quilt was slightly bigger than our normal ones so we could make a checkerboard in the center of it! On each end was a pocket (for keeping your checkers!) made from a pair of Dockers that had belonged to his dad (Andrew Garnett - also part of our InterVarsity Bible study group).

Machine pieced, some serging on the outer border, hand tied at every other interval, polyester batting, fleece backing.

Ellie's quilt

For Matt's cousin Nathan's first child, we used the same flannel backing fabric that we used on Peter's quilt, but did something fun on the front - no serging, but lots of pockets! We also did a fabric gradation with the colors of the denim.

We did NOT tie this one, but essentially machine quilted it with the pockets with polyester batting (probably 4 oz).

Genz quilt

I don't have a finished photo of this one, but this is pretty close to finished. It was made for a sewing client from her daughter's high school and college t-shirts as a graduation gift. The biggest challenge here was finding a good size to use. As you can see, we ended up using a standard square size and then making it out of a single shirt, horizontal or vertical half shirts, or even quarters of the square as necessary to get everything to fit and to highlight the best parts of each shirt. The one piece that wouldn't fit within our unit we sized to the unit plus sashing and made it the center point.

Machine pieced, hand tied, polyester batting (eventually!)

Nona's quilt, twin size (SewingBAG)

And a twin size version. This project was such a delight. So many little variations, and so neat to know that many family members were able to hold onto these special memories of their "Nona."

Machine pieced, hand tied, polyester batting.

Nona's quilt, lap size #3 (SewingBAG)

Another lap size quilt, again very symmetrical.

Machine pieced, hand tied, polyester batting.

"Nona's" quilt, lap size #2 (SewingBAG)

I honestly can't remember if we tied this one with some red and some periwinkle, or if this was just photos testing out both to get preference from our client! As you can tell from the upper photo, this quilt is not quite complete at the time of the photograph.

Machine pieced, hand tied, polyester batting.

Nona's quilt, full size #2 (SewingBAG)

On this version of "Nona's" memory quilt, we used the batik to define the corners, and a few other pieces in a more symmetrical layout than some of the others (see the green stripeish one and the denim.)

Machine pieced, hand tied, polyester batting (8 or 6 oz).
