Checkerboard Flowers

Chris Deering

Hand appliqued and custom machine quilted. The hand applique took a long time – this was my carry-around project for a couple years. The quilting was a challenge (the cross hatching) and ufun (the custom work in each block).

Machine pieced and custom machine quilted. This was The Quilt Show’s Block of the Month in 2009. But there were so many pieces I didn’t get mine done until 2012!

Leopard and Old Lace

Machine pieced and quilted. Made from a single piece of cloth from a book called “One Block Wonders”. Lots of fun playing with color and design but it takes a long time to piece.
