Airplane Quilt

I was so excited when a friend of mine asked me if I would create a quilt for her nephews birthday. He LOVES airplanes so she wanted to give him something that incorporated airplanes in some way. I immediately went to the Embroidery Library website looking for something that would fill this request.  

I fell absolutely in LOVE with this design and I knew it would be perfect. The quilt top is a variation of Teacher's Pet Take 3 Quilt Pattern which was the very first quilt pattern I ever made. I used the larger block version to allow for the embroidery to stand out against the top.

I did a free motion technique using invisible thread on my Babylock Sophia. I wanted the quilting to resemble the wind and clouds in the sky. My friend gasped at the sight o the finished product. She is so please. The quilt will be gifted at the end of the month so I will let everyone know how it was received.

Happy Sewing,
