Pink Picture Frame Pattern

Last winter I pieced several quilts to be used as gifts or compassion quilts. You have seen the Fabric  Vortex and the Turquoise Patchwork quilt. After those quilts were quilted, I went ahead and spray basted 6 more quilts using Odif 505 washable adhesive spray.

The quilts were marked for quilting after the layers were sprayed and dried over night. I did pin the quilts to help with stability but not very closely.

At the November 2025 Jane Stickle retreat  I purchased two panels for $1 each to use in compassion quilts. I wasn't sure how to set them but I knew I'd figure something out.

When I was googling free 3-yard quilt patterns, the Pink Picture Frame pattern designed by Wood Valley Designs pulled up. I printed it off and used it as the general design for these quilts. My measurements aren't the same as the pattern because my panels were different sizes from what the pattern specified but the pattern gave me a place to start.

I forgot to take pictures of the flimsies in January when they were pieced but now they're quilted and ready for photos.

Quilt A - The background gray fabric is quilt backing fabric left from another quilt. It's a very light gray with darker gray sunflowers. The green fabric and pink fabric also came from my stash.

Both quilts are quilted the same, diagonal lines across the whole quilt including the borders. I did stitch in the ditch along the border edges.

Quilt B is the same design but with a few fabric changes. There wasn't enough of the gray sunflower fabric so the outside border is a different gray fabric, again from my stash.

These are the two pink fabrics in this quilt, a batik and fossil fern fabric.

A light gray thread was used for quilting, I think it was called cool gray. Both quilts finish at 45" by 58".

I'm not a big fan of scrappy quilt backings but that is what was used with these quilts. I used a lot of greens for these backings.

Many of these greens were fossil fern fabrics. I ordered a box containing fat quarters of fossil fern fabrics when the old Craftsy store was going out of business. I didn't realize how many fat quarters there would be! The back of this quilt was a good place to use them. I know I'm making Carolina Lilies which uses green fabrics but I didn't want bright yellow/green in that quilt. The solid green Kona fabric is left from the diamonds used in my Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt.

Most of the green backing on this quilt was a Robert Kauffman fabric. I don't know why I bought so much of it but apparently I had a plan when I purchased it, it's used now.

Another quilt used the peach/salmon fabrics for backing, I put leftover pieces from that backing in this backing.

Both of these quilts will be donated to the cancer center at Goshen Hospital.
