Grey quilts

This is Sandra’s Modern Grey and White Neutrals quilt and there is a tutorial on the Diary of a Quilters blog here. I actually was Sandra’s personal shopper for this quilt as I picked out the fabrics for her when I was down in Swan River teaching at Fabriculous. A lot of the fabrics are Zen Chic fabrics from the Modern Background Essentials line but we through in a few other fabrics to give it more variety. The HST blocks are squared up to 7 1/2” and Sandra made her layout a bit bigger from…

What a fun quilt this one was to sew. Before I knew it, I was doing the binding. For this quilt, I wanted a modern, clean geometric kind of look. So I made Half Square Triangles and did a Flying…

Marlene made these two wonderful quilts for her grandsons. She made them Christmas quilts with Fireside backing a couple of years ago and they always want to use them early in the fall and well into the new year much to their mom's dismay. So Marlene made new neutral quilts with the cozy backing they love so much. The first quilt is called Nuts and Bolts and Marlene found it in the 2006 Spring/Summer edition of Quilt Sampler Magazine. Marlene selected the Gatsby pantograph for this one. The…

Beachy in Greys *** Who doesn't love an eclectic mix of grey? Since grey has so many variations whether it is more brown, blue, cream, green, purple, or beige...we thought we would show them all some love! This quilt uses 16 of our favorite greys made into over-sized, elongated 4-patches. We did a mix of wovens, plaids, and cotton prints...a good shake up of florals, geometrics, scripts, stripes, and soothing tonals...which makes this classic, simple quilt quietly elegant with a touch of…

I'm not normally drawn to Black and White quilts but when I saw Northcott's new Simply Neutral 2 line on Keystone Modern Creative's website I had to order it! I knew that I wanted to make our Highway 10 Designs patterns called Pedal to the Metal with this line as a few years ago I quilted a similar one for a friend that was fabulous. You can see it here. I recently purchased a new pantograph called Time Warp that is very dense in design. I hesitated at first with using it but thought this is…
