This was one of the quilt tops I made on our quilt retreat weekend and donated to the Community Quilts program. They supplied the batting and backing fabric — I did the rest. In keeping with some of the floral fabrics, I did a variation on the open headband motif, adding ‘petals’ to the large arcs.

I made these two small quilt tops on my quilt retreat weekend. As they will likely go to the state mortuary for stillborn babies, only a simple flannel backing and simple stitching enough to hold the layers together was required.

I just did a large meandering stipple on this big (and busy!) scrappy quilt made of 2-inch squares. Any other quilting would have got lost in the fabric.
