FARMALL QUILT (started life as a fabric panel)

The center of this lap quilt is a farm panel that I saw and just knew I had to make a quilt for my brother-in-law.  I brought it home and it sat for a couple years as I collected fabrics that would appeal to a Farmall collector.  Had to be careful not to get John Deere fabric (he would use words that cannot be posted here).

Pieced it in spring of 2018 by adding coordinating fabrics around the center panel in various widths - looks complicated, but is really easy to do.

Size: lap

My brother-in-law collects anything and everything Farmall. Maybe it comes from growing up on a dairy farm. Anyway, he turns 40+ next month and I made him this quilt with a farm and Farmall theme. It was actually fun. The brown border is a toile fabric that is Farmall tractors (who knew that toile came in that subject??) that I bought in Paducah while at the national quilt show. It is cotton fabric and poly batting. The back is red (like Farmall tractors)pieced with a fishing fabric I had (he likes to fish too) and the quilting thread is also red - sticking with the red theme. Machine quilted by RLM. Self bound (in other words the front is folded over on the front to make the binding).

HARVEST TIME TABLE RUNNER

NEW !!!!! HARVEST TIME table runner. I made this during 2016-17 just because I wanted to see how these fabrics looked together. Log cabin blocks. The fabrics in log cabin blocks include homespuns, batiks, and prints. The backing is a candy corn fabric. Lightly machine quilted. Binding is hand finished. Size is 16" x 48". Materials: Cotton fabric and batting. Machine wash gentle. Has a tag on back with title, dates of project, and my initials.

LOG CABIN QUILT TOP

LOG CABIN QUILT TOP. Fabric: quality cottons that include prints, solids, and batik. "Logs" are purple and green with light yellow centers. Size is 84" square, could be quilted as is, or a border added first. Pieced 2013-14 in Maine and Indiana. I made this top for my adult daughter who did not like it due to the color tones, so this one needed to go to a new home. Sold.
