Another 4 comfort quilts

Here are another 4 comfort quilts, made with 6" and 12" blocks. They are all quilted either in the ditch, or on the diagonal, using a variagated thread and some fancy machine stitches.

4 quilts

Here are 4 more comfort quilts.

A simple 12-patch

Here is another example of a simple 12 patch to make up a comfort quilt. In this case, the border is 6", causing the quilt to be slightly larger in size, 48 x 60. Backed with polar fleece.

The quilting is done using some fancy machine stitches, down the diagonal of the blocks.

Ship Toile

Here is another comfort quilt made up of larger blocks. Note the use of the ship toille fabric in the 12 x 12 block, and in a 6 x 12 block. I originally had a fat quarter of this fabric, and I was loathe to cut it up into small pieces. Mixed with some other blue fabrics, the ships come alive the sea of blue.

Large square example

Here is an example of a comfort quilt made up of 12 - 12" squares, each 12" square is a 4-patch. Many of the patches are made of a single 6" block, but some of the 6" blocks are a strip of 3, left over from the PQP 'Comfort by the nines' pattern. The quilt is finished with a 3" border.

This makes the quilt 42" x 54". This quilt was made with a polar fleece back, so no need for batting.
