Color Blocks Catch Up -- Grandma's Album (vol. 2)

I just finished machine quilting Grandma's Album, an adorable little quilt from Color Blocks: Volume 2.

Rather than using scraps, I made this quilt with a collection of fabric: Stag & Thistle from Natural Born Quilter (Brett Lewis) for Northcott Fabrics. The fabric is out of print now so I treasure the dress, tablecloth, cloth napkins, and other items I've made with this gorgeous fabric.

I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent at my home sewing machine finishing this quilt with continuous curve and ribbon candy:

free-motion feathers:

and free-motion background stitching around the monogram:

How I Machine Quilted Honeybloom Quilt: Feathered Border Secrets EXPOSED!

When I saw the quilt Lisa Bongean designed using Honeybloom fabrics by 3 Sisters for Moda, I had to buy the quilt IMMEDIATELY! I finally got to quilt it and decided to share my Feathered Border Secrets with EVERYONE on YouTube!

First, let's take a moment to adore the gorgeous quilt:

My daughter-in-law claimed this quilt to give to her niece for graduation. Congratulations Maddie!

I wanted to pet this quilt A LOT, so I decided to custom quilt it. I quilted continuous curve in the blocks and cornerstones with ribbon candy in the sashing (naturally).
