The genealogy quilt I made for my university class is done, and so is my course work for the class, hence two finishes in one day. Here's some of the quilting detail in the names.
Bathsheba was quilted in freehand fans. If you click on the pictures, you can see the freehand stitches on the dark rectangles.
Here's the whole thing. I showed the top on my first post. If you missed it, it represents the Old Testament women in Jesus' genealogy in Matthew. All the men are represented by dark rectangles, and the women stick out with their coloured letters. It was a fun project in several ways -- I was quilting for course credit, and I've received a variety of reactions from people I've shown it to. Despite all the Tonya fans out there in blogland, it seems the average person isn't used to actually reading words on a quilt.

I love the two tone colouration of Rahab's name -- you've done a great job of designing this... :-)
People don't read quilts? Strange - I read them! This is a very interesting project, and well done. I have yet to 'do' letters like this but certainly admire yours. Quilting is great.
You know. I never thought of that before. It explains the puzzled look on peoples faces.
Well done on the finish. Unusual concept.
Love your letters and words. My favorite kind of quilt. Where in Manitoba do you live?
Great job. You have combined the goals and achieved your purposes. What an accomplishment. Keep up the good work.
Woohoo, congrats on the double finish. This quilt came out soooo well. I love the variety of hand quilting patterns on there. It's great.
I love this quilt. A while back, I saw a cross stitch kit which allowed you to do your own female genealogy (Emma the mother of Sarah, the mother of Florence etc) It would be great to do this with letters! Oh dear, another idea to crowd out all my current UFOs!
