Custom Quilting - Moda Color Weave Throw Quilt

This post may contain affiliate links. Thank you for your support!


This beautiful quilt was custom quilted for Andrea.


The quilt pattern is Color Weave, a layer cake friendly pattern.  You'll find it right here.


Quilting is Woven Wind in white thread, completed on my Handi Quilter Fusion with ProStitcher.  I love the old-fashioned look this adds to the quilt, though I'm not sure I've ever seen an antique quilt with quilting like this!  That idea may be only floating around in my head.

Kansas Red and White Throw Quilt in Just Red {Custom Quilting}

This post may contain affiliate links. Thank you for your support!


Kansas Red and White Throw Quilt in Just Red, a custom quilting project by Busy Hands Quilts.


This is a quilt made by Andrea which I custom quilted for her in a new-to-me design.  Her request was something bubbly, so bubbly it is!


Executing this design on my longarm required a tutorial as I had never wrapped a design around so the next row is half dropped to the previous row.  Learning this technique has opened up a ton of new quilt designs that I will be able to use on my machine.

This video by Megan of BestQuilter was quick and easy to understand.  Megan is a Handi Quilter educator who lives ten minutes from me!  I found her when I was in a pinch to have a quilt finished and was unable to quilt it myself.


Fabric Love 💗

This quilt is made with a layer cake of Just Red by Zen Chic, along with a solid white.   The backing is Blossom on White Red by Christopher Thompson for Riley Blake.


Love the fabrics radiating from lightest in the center to darkest at the corners. 


Quilt Stats:
Pattern:  Kansas Red and White Quilt, pattern available right here.
Fabric (Quilt Top and Binding):  Just Red by Zen Chic, available right here.  Along with Moda White.
Quilting:  Wedding Bubbles by Karlee Porter, available right here.
Batting:  Warm and White
Backing:  Blossom on White Red, available right here.

Custom Quilting Little Red Riding Hood Baby Quilt!

This post may contain affiliate links. Thank you for your support!



I so enjoyed custom quilting this Little Red Riding Hood baby quilt in the sweetest of hearts.  I've had this panto for awhile, and after seeing it stitched out, I can't believe I haven't used it sooner; it is beautiful!  You will definitely be seeing it again.  :)  This is a quilt of Andrea's, and I also bound it for her.  Saturday has become my go-to custom quilting day as I'm so busy during the week with quilt designing, pattern writing, and quilt-making.  I finish my chores as quickly as possible in order to get my quilting on!

I custom quilted this Neverland baby quilt with a fun star and swirl panto.  Sometimes it's a challenge to think of which design to use on a quilt, but this was an easy choice for this Peter Pan-themed quilt.  This is a quilt of Andrea's, and I also bound it for her.  I've begun working on custom quilting on Saturdays after the chores are done, and it's a great incentive to bust them out!

Custom Quilting Don't Give a Ship Baby Quilt

This post may contain affiliate links. Thank you for your support!


This beautiful baby quilt was made by Andrea, and I quilted it for her.


A simple patchwork is always a great way to let cute fabrics like this shine.  Andrea did a great job evenly distributing the colors around the quilt top which adds eye appeal.


This fun nautical quilt called for wavy quilting to follow the theme.

I was in a hurry to get the quilts out the door and didn't notice that the pictures I had taken were poorly lit and don't do this beautiful quilt any justice.  Sorry Andrea!


Quilt Stats:
Pattern:  Simple patchwork
Size:  42" x 42"
Batting:  Warm and White by The Warm Company 
Quilting:  Waves on Gratitude in white thread

Thank you, Andrea, for trusting me with another beautiful quilt!
