COLOR MY WORLD BY PAULA FRANGELLA


 

 
This lap size quilt was made by Paula. She has named the quilt "Color My World" for obvious reasons, and the actual pattern name is "Trip Around the World", which is a traditional pattern from many years ago. The oldest example I could find was one that was completed in 1900.

I used YLI "White" cotton thread. The digital quilting design is called "Star Spangled Allover", and it is available from Urban Elementz.

 

 

 


Here are some photos of the quilting process.
 


 Here is the quilt after being quilted, and it's ready for Paula to bind.

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 57" x 72", and the cost for my services was $75.58, which included a set up fee, digital edge-to-edge quilting, and thread. Paula provided her own batting. If she had purchased it from me, it would have been an additional $17.50 for Warm and White cotton batting, or $14.00 for Pellon cotton batting. And the quilt was finished and ready to be picked up in only a few days!
