When I made the wacky pinwheels I was not aware of a tool I could have purchased to make it wacky without cutting all those wedges and sewing them on the sides!!!! I also hid the name Lena calls me "Geeba" in one of the blocks. It is also the largest quilt that I have free motion quilted on my Janome 6600. I think it came out just the way I hoped it would! By GeebaCosta 7 LIKES | 1334 VIEWS Shaving cream quilt All of the pinwheels in this quilt were hand dyed using shaving cream and ink. It is such a fun art craft. My 6 year year old granddaughter help with the dying process. We created a wonderful memory and such a good time together. Because the pinwheels are so pastel and subdued I decided to jazz up the back! I also free motion quilted it. By GeebaCosta 5 LIKES | 1056 VIEWS 50 shades of gray Jenny Doan's chevron quilt. I did it with 5" squares instead of layer cakes. Pattern was easy, quilting harder. I used in the ditch and walking foot for center and FMQ'd the borders with scallops and pebbles. I used high loft polyester batting so it is very puffy. My biggest project so far and may hold that title for a while! By GeebaCosta 7 LIKES | 1398 VIEWS Fall sunshine I used the pattern Ingrid's Garden from Best of Fons & Poters Quilting Quickly. I used batik fabric yardage. I free motion quilted hexagon shapes in the batik hexies and free motion quilted maple leaves in the background fabric. This quilt will be raffled off at a benefit for my son, Joshua, who was severely injured in a motorcycle accident on July 11, 2015. Although he will eventually fully recover, he has a long way to go and many bills to pay. Pray that we will make lots of money!!!!

I free motion quilted a small and large circle in each block and just outlined the sashing. The backing I thought went well and I faced the quilt instead of using a binding.

For the 7 weeks he was hospitalized, I would leave him at night and come home and quilt to relieve the stress of the day. Needless to say I made several quilt tops and this is my favorite. I love flying geese so the Dutchman's puzzle was a perfect choice. I machine quilted it myself and it took me 1 hour to do 1 block but I like the way it came out.

By GeebaCosta 13 LIKES | 1149 VIEWS Rescued This quilt top was given to me by a friend who brought it home from a large meeting of Quilter's. No one wanted it. I believe it might be from around the late 40's or early 50's. It was very dirty and stained. I soaked it, dried it and then proceeded to finish it. I added a border, sandwiched it and quilted it on my sit down quilter. I think it came out very nicely and am proud that it is now in its finished stage and looking so beautiful! By GeebaCosta 9 LIKES | 897 VIEWS Feed sack rescue I found this quilt top in an antique shop. It was tucked down under a table and I had to really reach for it. It was very very dirty but was in good shape for it's age. The white squares are made from old flour and sugar sacks and I'm guessing it was made in the late 30's. Not much was square and true with it but I bordered it, sandwiched it, and backed it with a cheery red polka dot fabric. I quilted it using my sit down free motion quilting machine. I love this red and white quilt and am so glad I found and rescued it!! By GeebaCosta 17 LIKES | 1007 VIEWS Autumn Pinwheels This is my first quilt completed in over 20 years! I saw Jenny's tutorial on snowballed pinwheels and I had to make it! I ran out and bought the fabric and completed this quilt in just a few days! It was so much fun! By BevG 10 LIKES | 1089 VIEWS Pinwheel Baby Quilt I saw the tutorial by Jenny for the simple pinwheels, so I tried it on a baby quilt for my second cousin! I think it turned out pretty good. By psj1wa 3 LIKES | 968 VIEWS Tree of Life I saw a set of ceramic tiles that really caught my eye. (A photo of the tiles are shown on the lower right) They were done in earth tones and when put together, formed a beautiful tree of life mural. I immediately thought what a beautiful quilt that would make. I had purchased some Stonehenge Warm Stone fat quarters awhile back that I hadn't found the "perfect" project for and they were exactly what was needed. The squares were sewn together with black fabric forming the sashing (grout) between each block. I then sketched out the tree on the blocks. This is all totally free motion quilting. It was so much fun working on this. By JeanneH 27 LIKES | 1537 VIEWS Delainey's Twirls & Swirls Quilt: I wanted to try the new technique taught by Lynne Hagmeier of Kansas Troubles.

Made Pinwheels but did not use "fireworks" fabrics so that she can use all summer long, or all year! "Freestyle" embroidered the year And her name for a more personalized touch. By Fizzle 9 LIKES | 1074 VIEWS My Wow quilt I saw this on Pinterest and gave it a try. By R3sons 35 LIKES | 1268 VIEWS Pinwheel I made this quilt to overcome my fear of pinwheels, I always thought they were going to be incredibly hard. However, this went together perfectly. The pattern was really easy to follow. After I finished the top, my mother quilted it for me and then gave it back to me as a wedding gift. By kchitwood 19 LIKES | 1136 VIEWS Scrappy Pinwheels & Patchwork I made this Scrappy Pinwheel & Patchwork quilt top with piano key border using 3 Sister's "Vin du Jour" collection--I love the colors and patterns in this line.
