Mystery Quilt Finished!

"Round and Round"

The Mystery Quilt, named "Round and Round" is completed. I would like to give credit where it is due. Amanda from "Crazy Mom Quilts" designed this pattern and gave me permission to use it for our guild "Mystery". The quilts that were completed by other guild members were fantastic! This was a simple, yet fun and do-able quilt to complete. Especially if you were using a Jelly Roll for your strips, as they were already cut and a co-ordinated fabric line.

The pattern I used to quilt this on my Intelliquilter is from the collection of Anne Bright.

This picture shows the actual colors of the quilt! Very white background and vivid teals, spring greens and deep browns. The quilting thread I used is also a bright teal.
Right now this is one of my favorite quilts!

Memory Quilt

I have a friend that is a self taught Quilt Maker and has made many photo quilts. She started out making them for herself. As others have seen her photo quilts, she has been commissioned many times since to make them for families that have lost a loved one and created as a Memory Quilt for them. Raelene seems to choose the right fabrics, pictures and message to put on the quilt.

I have been lucky enough to quilt them for her. I choose an all over pattern and quilt it edge to edge except I don't quilt over the photos.

This Quilt was a gift for Raelenes friend that had lost her husband to cancer.

They always turn out lovely and I'm sure they bring comfort and peace to the family that receives them.

I like them so much that I will be having one made for my family, too!!!!
