I dug out a silly giant star I made quite a while ago. I think while smaller than a lap quilt it would be a good starting point.
Maybe with some simple borders and smaller stars in the corners it would be a usable size.
Questions I have...
Is there a preferred marking method?
I have pink...
@Blooie that lap quilt is very cute and the story behind it is very sweet.
Yup I will do a lap quilt to learn hand quilting on. I have a few UFO's to finish but they are big and would be to much for learning on.
Absolutely stunning Blooie!! Your love for your mother comes through in that gorgeous quilt.
I would have to have a quilt up off the floor due to giant dogs and all their hair. Maybe my cutting table would work.
I am barely able to do straight(ish) straight line quilting with my machine. I...
Steadyyyyy! No need to lose your coffee.
They often do the 40% off coupons. They will have more I assure you.
Oh and at Joanns I often get a 50% off coupon printed with my receipt.
Don't forget that Hobby Lobby and Joanna have coupons online and in the Sunday paper.
I am pretty sure there are mailers too if you sign up for them.
The Joanna coupons would be a good way to get templates, cutting mats, cutters and rulers at a huge discount.
I watch a lot of videos on YouTube from Alanda Craft and Missouri Star. There are a lot of great simple yet beautiful quilt tutorials from them.
I made this one.
I did not put all the blocks into one quilt. I actually made 2 that came out about 48" x 78" .
This one is a four patch on point...
I haven't had time to get to seeing anything. :(
Now that we have gotten the kennels dried maybe the dogs can go outside for a few hours. If I can find my machine in all those unfinished items is another story.
I hadn't considered black........I like that thought.
Definitely need to play with it a bit.
I have enough colored fabric for the north star but thinking I am short on it for the sticks and stones......
I have to make 64 blocks at 11x11 or 12x12 for either quilt to be the correct size.
:th
Ok I need help.
I am making a king size quilt for my stepson and his very nice wife.
Having some color troubles.....
Their favorite colors are dark (royal) purple and rich (hunters) green. :hmm
I am going with one of these two patterns.....
I like the north star better myself.
I hope...
I am sorry to hear your hubby isn't well. I really hope he gets his gumption back soon.
:hugs:hugs:hugs
I know how hard settling down to the sewing machine can be when the worries are weighing on us.
Your quilting is very nice.
I have been in the dumps with geriatric pets and hard decisions so haven't been to my sewing room lately.
I saw the dream big panels. They are very pretty!
I look forward to seeing what you do with them.
