Machine quilting work

 I really love machine quilting for other people.  Here's two pieces I finished up and delivered this week.

Love the pattern she used for the top.  We decided that it needed a swirly pattern in the quilting to set off the boxy pattern in the blocks.
 Here's a closeup of the quilting...
 I love how it turned out!
This one was a 9-patch pattern, and she wanted straight-line quilting on the diagonals.  Boy, this one took a lot of patience!  I used my walking foot on this one.
And here's a closeup of the quilting.  

I'm just sorry I won't get to see these all washed and crinkled up!

  1. Great job! I love the diagonal quilting on the 9 patch. Do you do this on your home sewing machine? How did you make the jump into quilting for others?

  3. Super job on the diagonal quilting! Both quilts are really beautiful. I too would love to know if you quilted these on a regular home sewing machine.
