I'm pretty happy it is all together and I love all those little blocks. But. How, how, how shall I quilt it? How.
I think I did myself a favour by making it in two parts to quilt separately, and then join after quilting. I hope this is a favour to me and I don't mess it up. I also think I might use something with a bit more polyester for batting than my usual. I don't want this one to crinkle as much as I want most of my other quilts to.
Any other tips for me?
It is beautiful, what a wonderful gift!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great piece of art work, Carla! No recommendations regarding the quilting, though (quilting is the part I feel I still don`t handle well even though I`d love to...) But I´d appreciate to find out what you`re gonna decide about it...... looking forward to the next pictures :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, I love to see what you`re making!
Hi Heide! Thanks! And thanks so much for visiting my blog, too. I'd love to be able to reply to you directly, but you are a "no-reply blogger"!
DeleteThat is gorgeous, Carla! About leaving the quilt in two parts - I did that once, and it worked pretty well. I didn't have sashing, so I had to match up lots of seams, and it wasn't perfect. And, the very middle has a bit of a gap in the quilting - but you really don't notice it at all.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I'm no help when deciding how to quilt it. That is my stumbling block, every time!
I love this quilt. Love the beautiful background fabric!
ReplyDeleteI'm not so great at choosing quilting patterns myself so I look at what others use. This one says Baptist Fans, JMHO. The quilt is wonderful
ReplyDeleteI'm just catching up on your blog, used to find ya on FB.
