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

[speckledhen]

I've done nothing on the lap quilt since the last I posted. I just don't feel it right now. I did just sell my Carpenter's Star Fusion twin bed quilt, though. But my fabric and current project are gathering dust.

Those are really pretty, Terrie.

Oh, I love the colors and illusion!

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'm recently unemployed and i was thinking about starting a new quilt to keep me busy. Ive only done one and it took me several years to complete due to all the hand embroidery:

sorry it doesnt look flat its so large i didnt have a good spot to lay it out on. Anybody have patterns or ideas for beginner to intermediate quilters? Im looking to do a full size quilt...not queen like this one. I had to hand quilt this because i couldnt turn it on my machine since it is so heavy. My machine is also from 1975 or something like that so i dont have the fancy bells and whistles. It still works though so i cant bring myself to upgrade

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 with borders. I am still doing the quilting on it. Shown is just the quilt top. I followed the video below to learn this one.

This one seems up my alley. Where can you buy strips like that?! Do you have to go to a quilting store? I had to cut everything by hand for my last quilt. It took me about a month working every other day on it just to get everything cut

I use www.quilterscache.com to find patterns. They also have tools to use and estimate fabrics and such. Lots of work in embroidery! Not in my wheelhouse.

I cut with a rotary cutter and self-healing mat so I cut my own strips. You can get jelly roll strips, which is what they're called, at places like Hobby Lobby and any fabric store. I'd avoid actual quilt shops, way too pricey!

I also use a rotary cutter and mat.
I tend to cut my own since strip sets are so expensive.
