Pieceful Quilting's Celebrate Earth

I apologize for interrupting this irregularly scheduled "blogcast", but I would hate for you to miss the opportunity to purchase this kit from Pieceful Quilting.  It's called Celebrate Earth.  I've seen this new fabric line featured in several different patterns in various magazines recently, but I don't think any of them showcase the essence of the fabric as well as this one. 
My personal opinion is that dark threads rarely look as good on light fabrics as light thread looks on dark fabric, so I usually choose a lighter thread when there are contrasting values in a quilt.  With this quilt, however, I chose a darker thread since the focus fabic in the large panel consists of graphic images.  I used the pantograph Ground Cover by Barbara Becker.  I love the texure the design gives the quilt.

Marlene's baby animal quilt

This is another quilt made by Marlene with baby animals, although these are a little more tame than the alligators and elephants on the last one. The fabric is fossil fern flannel and the thread just sinks into the fabric, leaving a beautiful quilting design.

Rose's dresses

Rose used this cute dresses panel to whip up a quick baby quilt.  It's quilted with the Rhapsody pantograph by ClothWerx.

Sandy's One Block Wonder

Sandy made this One Block Wonder from fabric with architecture on it, as seen in the second border.  It made a striking, manly quilt for her teenage son.  The pantograph Spikey Spinners was designed by Jessica Schick.
