Nickel Argyle and Roll of Nickels quilts finished

One of the goals of my quilt challenge was to make quilts for my husband's family. He has five children, their spouses, 14 grandchildren and one sister. That's twenty five quilts!  The youngest eight grandchildren all got I Spy quilts with their names on them which I've posted pictures of already.  I had hoped the quilts could be finished for Christmas. The tops were done but a few still had to be quilted.

Nickel Argyle and Roll of Nickels are now done!

My Nickel Argyle quilt is a four patch quilt that I previously posted here and my Roll of Nickels quilt is  a disappearing nine patch quilt that I posted here.

I used a coordinating plaid fabric for the back and binding of both my Nickel Argyle quilt and Roll of Nickels quilt.  Both were from my stash! Yippee!!

Linda of L&R Designs quilted Nickel Argyle with black thread in straight lines like the traditional argyle pattern. Just the effect I wanted.

 

 

She used her square loop meander quilt design on Roll of Nickels. I think the quilting totally makes this quilt. It's fast becoming one of my favorite quilting designs!! We used it before on Just Add Scraps #1 which is also a disappearing nine patch quilt.

I now have Nickel Crosses and Chevrony quilted and in the process of being bound.  I'll show you soon.
