Design Wall Monday – QOV Edition

Last week, I met up with a member of the Stitching Sisters QOV group. I handed her a few quilts I had quilted for the group and she handed off this box of tops to quilt!

There are 9 in there and I am hoping to get several done before I head out west later this month. The first is in the frame but I had no time to work on it yesterday.

And here is the next one I will be quilting.

Isn’t this stunning? This quilter did the loveliest job piecing this top. It lays nice and flat and she stay stitched the edges. This is a long armer’s dream!
Here I have it folded in half and pinned to my design wall so I can contemplate the quilting of it. I think this design and use of fabric is just brilliant. I want my quilting to do justice to this top.

I’m not sure how much I will get done today with my little helper here.

    Just love the shadow affect of the 2nd quilt. The quilter has an eye for color and design! Such a cutie of a helper – I would be so distracted!

    Oh yes, time with a little one will always trump time quilting … at least in my book. 😉

    That quilt top is really stunning, as you say. What an amazingly clever use of just a few fabrics. The maker must have sat down and thought about it for ages before cutting and piecing so accurately. And as for your little helper – as cute as ever!
