A Sampler Quilt ~ Custom Machine Quilting

Laura pieced this darling, bright and happy sampler quilt. 

She asked me to custom machine quilt the quilt and she just had a few requests, no stippling and a swirly type design in the center star. So with those few requests I had at it with my creativity and I LOVE how it turned out!

Just to warn you, I may have gone a little crazy with the pictures but since I have to send it back to her and I won't see it again I have to have a lot of pictures to remember. :)This first picture is the quilt before I began quilting. I generally don't share photos of quilts before I begin machine quilting but I thought this one was definitely worth sharing.This is the before.Below you will find all of the after shots, I have quite a few so make sure to click on the Read More link below to see all of the beautiful pictures. :)

There is a lot of detail, my husband thought that the borders were pieced, like piano keys, nope that's just the detail that was created with the machine quilting.

Each block is different, so each block is machine quilted differently.

Laura chose to use Quilters Dream Wool Batting, I really love working with all Quilters Dream Batting but I really love working with their wool. It drapes beautifully but also creates such nice loft without being difficult to work with.

Another cool think about this quilt is the solid backing, not always do I chose to use solid backs for quilts but when I want the machine quilting to really stand out then solid backings are awesome! Because there is a  solid backing on this quilt I had to take a bunch of pictures of the back. So enjoy. :)

Thanks again Laura for letting me machine quilt your beautiful quilt!
