Quilt of the week – November 13, 2020

I’ve always liked Bargello quilts, but they seemed so complicated. I made two of these baby quilts from a strip package and a border.

Moving the strips up or down creates the wave effect. Varying the width of the strips changes the amplitude of the waves.

Quilt of the week – for Feb. 16

Posted on February 16, 2020 by eagleviewquilting_17stli

Our son and his wife are expecting a baby in April, so I made this quilt for them. The pattern is called 50 Shades of Color. There are not 50 shades of color in this quilt, but I didn’t like that set of colors. I preferred to use the same colors in the border that were used in the quilt.

LONGARM QUILTING SERVICES

At reasonable prices

We have hundreds of patterns to choose from. Some of the designs can be seen on the Our Work page, which features a few of the quilts that Paul has made and quilted.

We charge 2.5 cents per square inch for overall quilting using a single pattern. Multiple patterns, such as an interior pattern and a border pattern, start at 3 cents per square inch.

If you want a pattern that we don’t have, there are thousands of additional patterns available. We’ll acquire the pattern for just your quilt for $15, or add it to our available selections for just $10.

There is an additional charge of $5 if we need to mount the quilt a second time, to do side borders, for instance.

We have dozens of thread colors to choose from – solid and variegated. We do not charge extra for variegated thread.

We can use your batting, or we can supply Warm and Natural (100% cotton) or Warm Blend (50% cotton/50% polyester). Either is available for $15/yd for 90″ batting. We also have Warm and Natural in 108″ for $18/yd. If there is a call for us to carry 100% polyester batting, we will offer that, too, also from the Warm company.

We offer traditional double-fold binding, for $2.50/foot.

Unless requested, all quilts are trimmed, after quilting. Any material wider than 3″ will be returned with the quilt.

We try to turn quilts around quickly. Most are completed within a week after we get them. Binding adds another 2 weeks to the turn-around time. Shipping your quilt to us, and back to you, will obviously be outside of our control.

Send us your quilt. We’ll send an email acknowledging receipt of the quilt, along with an expected completion date. When the quilt is done, we’ll send it back, and email you an invoice. You pay for shipping both ways.

See the requirements link for details on what to do to get your top, backing, and batting (if you supply it) ready for us to quilt.
