Redwork!
This beautiful single sized quilt was made by Joy using fabrics she received from a fellow quilter for her birthday. Joy machine embroidered the redwork designs, set them in simple square blocks to show them off and then quilted it using a stipple stitch. But that's not all...Joy's quilt is reversible!
Joy had a lot of fun using the Stack N Slash method for pieceing the quilt back. It looks great! Joy didn't make the quilt for anyone in particular but she's sure her granddaughters will all be fighting over it as soon as they see it!
We had another quilt at show and tell... An I spy quilt!
This little quilt has an interesting story behind it! Years ago Karen hosted high school kids from Belgium and the kids are all grown up with children of their own. Karen has started a wonderful tradition and celebrates each child's 2nd birthday with an I spy quilt. This little beauty is for a little boy and Karen is currently working on the toddler's twin sister's version! What a lovely quilter you are Karen!

Love the back of your quilt Joy! It always interests me to see the imagination of the patchworker come out on both the back and front of a quilt. Whether its a pieced back, a cute appliqué or a clever label.
