These two sweeties were pieced by the same lady, that's why I call them "Sister Quilts". The X block quilt in blues and greens has a traditional look with a modern edge to it. It has a mix of flat cottons and batiks with a white background. I chose a loose scroll with a paisley edge to edge design. It suits the quilt, sweet and simple. I used Glide thread top and bottom.
This smaller one is a type of log cabin or square in a square. I used a headbands design which is similar to the larger quilt but without the paisley. Again, a sweet and simple design. I used an Aurifil polyester variegated thread. The soft pastel colors blended in well with the fabrics allowing the piecing of the quilt to be the focus.
