Aunt Linda’s Dream Weaver

The Back

Aunt Linda made this quilt using scraps from her Mother Board quilt and following instructions she saw in an MSQC Jenny Doan tutorial video. It’s so pretty, I think I’ll have to make one with this pattern. I looked up the video and saw they quilted the example in an overall, loose meandering loop-de-loop with an occasional butterfly. So, I decided to do the same quilting style on Aunt Linda’s quilt. I went to the internet and Googled “butterfly outlines” and I found plenty of butterflies to choose from. I selected one, made a plastic template, and I was ready to go! The butterfly was so successful, I think I’ll use this quilting style on other quilts. Aunt Linda used a soft “shot cotton” for the back. It quilted like a dream. She chose a purple thread to match the color of the back.

Aunt Linda’s Mother Board

Aunt Linda took a workshop to learn to make this quilt. The instructor called this quilt “Mother Board” . My QC Guy let me down on this quilt. I accidently quilted a pin in it. QC Guy did not find the defect. Luckily Aunt Linda found it when she was trimming the edges. CAPA here we come! Where’s our QA? Thankfully Auntie Ann offered to guide us through the process of corrective action, preventive action. Maybe the QC Guy will have to be replaced?

Aunt Linda’s Patriotic Rail Fence

Not only is this quilt gorgeous, it is one of the straightest and most even quilts I have ever quilted. Even the corners were square, very rare for pieced quilts. Though, the back was pieced, it was also square and even. The quilt was a joy to longarm.
