Quilt show - my entries

AlleOK, here is the last of my quilt show posts, I promise! These are the 2 quilts that are entered in a voting category. They are both in the same category and have some stiff competition, so I don't expect to win anything, but I think it's always fun to see your quilts on display.  Edited to add:   One of my commenters made me realize I forgot to provide any information about these quilts!  I'm sorry about that!



They are both Miss Rosie's patterns.  The first one is her pattern Allemande, and since that's a dance term, I named my quilt "Swing Your Partner."  It's made using just 3 charm packs of Moda's Faded Memories fabric and added background (Lakehouse Frosted Dots in cream and white), along with more Faded Memories yardage for the large pinwheels and borders.





Orange



The second quilt is Miss Rosie's ZuZu's Petals pattern, and it's made using nearly every orange and cream or white fabric I could find.  I found a wild surfboard print for the border and Nicole suggested "Kowabunga!" as a name based on her wild, surfer dude past, which I thought was the perfect name.

  1. I am in love with the first one... even from the photo, I can tell you did a great job... You have to make up a name for it. A piece with that much detail and work has to have tons of memories associated with it--- it didn't happen over night...What's it's name?

  4. I feel like I have been on the other side of the world for the past ten days! Finally, I am getting caught up on all my friends' blogs, and the first thing I did was check yours. That pinwheel quilt is beyond amazing. And you know just how I feel about pinwheels. Incredible workmanship Lisa! And Kowabunga just puts a smile on my face! The color is just like Orange Crush.

  5. These are fantastic! I'm so totally impressed with your work, Lisa. Wow!
    Of course I love the patterns - being a fan of M.R. and all that. And you can't go wrong with any help from Nicole either. She's spot on!
    I think Kowabunga is my favorite but Orange is one of my better colors, too.
