Joan's Quilts

Joan asked me to quilt a couple more for her, and she brought another Carpenter Star quilt.  This one is for a friend in his college colors - purple and gold.  These pictures make the fabric look more blue than purple.  Joan wanted to experiment with this quilt using a dark background for the quilt and lighter colors for the star.  She was very happy with the result.  I used a gold thread and the Fandango pattern edge to edge on this quilt.  It was a wonderful combination, and this quilt looks great.  You can click on the pictures below to enlarge them and get a closer look.

The second quilt for Joan that I finished this week is a sampler quilt she made for her dad.  She chose a light tan thread and the design Breath Of The Gods for the quilting which kept it on the masculine side.  It also is very pretty!

I really haven't been quilting or doing much sewing for my sanity lately.  I'd really like to get caught up on my Snapshots Quilt Along blocks, maybe tomorrow.  I hope next week I can share a project of my own with you.  Thanks for visiting.  I'm also linking up at Crazy Mom Quilts Finish It Up Friday.
