BEAUTY AND THE BEAST BY MARILYN ISLAS


 

Marilyn always brings in the sweetest quilts! This crib size quilt is so fun and colorful, and has a bonus: The backing is a buttery yellow fleece that is going to make the the snuggliest quilt for the lucky girl it's going to!

I used YLI "White" cotton thread.
  
The digital quilting design is called "Heart Fancy", and is available from Urban Elementz. I love the hearts and the swirls.


Here are some photos of the quilting process.
 


Now that it's quilted, it's time for Marilyn to sew on the binding.
 

Here is a short video of the quilt being digitally quilted with my Tin Lizzie Ansley 26 quilting machine and Butler Perfect Stitch computerized system. Maximize the screen to maximize your viewing pleasure!

The size of this quilt is approximately 40" x 47", and the cost for my services was $44.27, which included a set up fee, digital edge-to-edge quilting, and thread. Marilyn provided her own batting. If she had purchased it from me, it would have been an additional $12.78 for Warm and White cotton batting, or $10.22 for Pellon cotton batting. And the quilt was finished and ready to be picked up in only a few days!

If you are a quilter looking for affordable rates for your latest project, give me a call! Don't quilt, but looking for a great gift for a special person in your life? Or maybe you want something special for yourself. I would love to design and create a quilt especially for you! Contact me for details at (815) 735-0997.
