I made a quilt especially for Mimi to use when she comes to visit me in New Mexico:

This is the first bed-sized quilt I have completed on my new Innova long-arm quilting machine. Also, it is the first quilt I have ever done using ruler work only, no feathers or curves:

I ended up using the “boomerang” motif extensively all over the quilt. In the flying geese . . .



. . . and in the central blocks:



I added a little variety by using a diamond motif in the gray sashing strips:

I love the backing fabric I found in my LQS, “Quilts Ole” in Corrales, NM:

Do you have a quilt stand? They are so handy:

My quilt design was based on a design called “Elemental” by Art Gallery Fabrics.


I love everything about this. Only I thought you were making it for your own bed. Do you have plans to do so?

I have plans for the quilts in the other guest bedroom and for the master. So many quilts, so little time!
I love everything about this.
Thank you!
Nice work Joyce. Yes that backing fabric is awesome!!!

Obviously, you are inspired by your surroundings! I love the ruler quilting, perfect for the quilt design.
Thank you, Lillian.
