This week I did some custom quilting. I haven't done too much of it lately. This quilt was absolutely amazing! It was a friend of mine has a daughter getting married. She and sisters, nieces, son etc. made blocks that my friend assembled into a queen size quilt. I'm sure some of you have done this before. I haven't seen any as amazing as theirs. Here are a few of the 36 blocks.
I thought this one was fun. I added flowers and butterflies in the quilting.
This one was made by my friend's son.
I like how the frame around the picture turned out.
My friend's sister is an artist. I love seeing what she comes up with!
This one I added some flowers to the basket.
This traditional block I added a nice design that I thought complemented the piecing.
The turtle represented the groom, so I came up with a more masculine design.
While I loved quilting this quilt and coming up with different designs that added to each block, I am glad I don't do custom quilting very often. I can't handle quilts being on my quilt machine very long. But it is signed, sealed, and delivered, and they love it so everything is great!

What a beautiful idea and a beautiful quilt. I love the quilting. Hugs.
I really like what you did on each block. I have enjoyed custom quilting but not while I am trying to come up with something different for each block. Once I have decided, though, then I think it is great fun and makes for a wonderful quilt.
I'd love to see a photo of the quilt in its entirety. Do you have one you can post? I love the custom quilting!!!
Pretty soft colors and the blocks are so fun to look at. Nice job on the quilting too. Would love to see then entire quilt.
