Licorice Whip for Baby Lucas

This is the fourth time I have used this pattern, and still cannot believe how fast it comes together.  I started on Friday evening after work by cutting the pieces -- all of them.  By Saturday afternoon, the top was done and Sunday it was quilted.  No pressure, just took my time and enjoyed the process.

The backing used was a bold zig zag bordered by the main gray color used.

Of course, I personalized the quilt with the baby's name, Lucas .... I love this part.

And...a close up of swirls.

As much as I love traditional quilting, I enjoy the Modern Movement just as much.  Today, I am linking up Megan and Heather at Quilt Story for Fabric Tuesday.  

Ella's Quilt

Finally, I can show the baby quilt for Ella, who is due to meet the world in September.  This past Sunday, the quilt was delivered to her Mommy's at the Baby Shower.  

Her name is quilted into the border .... first time I've tried this.  Will have to do it again.
