Ongoing Quilt Projects, Continued from the "No Appreciation...." Thread

[WVduckchick]

Lovely! Again, no notifications so I have to check from time to time on my subscribed threads. If I disappear, that may be why, that I just don't know if there are posts here.

You can try to Unwatch, then re-watch the thread, and check the options when you rewatch.

Working on the same quilt. Sheesh, ruler work is yet another skill I have yet to master. I'll get better as I go, but I get off course, adding to the character, LOL. I felt this needed some geometric design on it, not just an all-over motif, so I made a huge job for myself.

Cyn, are you following Angela Walters' challenges? I am watching the current one, but will wait til she is finished before starting it. I did the first challenge all in a day, which worked out well for me. I took the finished quilt with me on vacation, too.

I look at the videos, but don't work along with them, no.

Working on the final border. I have one side done and a second over half finished. This has been a loooooong journey, I tell ya! I won't be doing any ruler work on a large project ever again, only smaller, easier-to-handle ones.

Looks great! I just finished up a dozen more aprons for a craft sale in a few weeks. Now I am moving on to get some tree skirts quilted. Then I'll spend the winter learning new quilting techniques on all the quilt tops I have in a huge tote. LOL

I see the benefits of both types. Definitely going to be looking at walmart and amazon online.
I like the crinkles of cotton and hubby likes the poof of poly.
I found a neat little video of a pieced star table topper. I will give that a go today for sure.

Going to have to remind myself to OPEN then cut. Angles would be all wonky if I don't.

Bamboo is a wonderfully warm batting!

Someone is already asking me about buying this latest quilt. She said her daughter asked for one from the state fair and she bought it for her, but she feels the quilting is not nearly as nice as mine. She already owns two or three quilted pieces from me, including what I called the 3D Blooper quilt. There are a couple of minor tucks on this one, but considering the massive bulk I'm hauling through the machine, I think it's not too bad, really. It's nice to be appreciated. We truly are our own worst critics, aren't we?

Well it IS a beautiful quilt. I can see why she wants it.

Thank you. I hope she still wants it when I tell her the price, LOL.
