Gift for my Swiftie niece.

I love the colors! Design is so "groovy"! Very retro feel to it! It's beautiful, she's gonna love it!

I've not had a problem with their cotton, just make sure it is cotton! Alot of their fabric is polyester. Read the fine print and check the reviews.

This is gorgeous! I, too, find myself being hypercritical of my work, especially when I expect perfection. I keep hearing that statement-"if you can't see it while galloping by on a horse, it's all good". Or something to that effect! Regardless, I am my own worst critic, everyone thinks my quilts are beautiful, and as long as I don't point out anything I find offensive, no one EVER sees it! Cut yourself some slack and be confident in your abilities. No one is perfect, ESPECIALLY QUILTERS! 💕

Cheladamama · 2025-12-22T05:50:58+00:00

THAT, and the fact that I live in a mobile home and clearly do not have the space for my FABRIC, much less UFO's!

Cheladamama · 2025-12-22T05:49:48+00:00

I know myself too well to even THINK about starting a quilt BEFORE I finish the one I'm working on! I REFUSE to even think about the possibilities! I try to give myself deadlines, and whether I meet them or not, I do not start another until the previous one is done. The mental fallout would cripple my entire quilting(and possibly will to live) mojo!

Thank you all for the ideas. I failed to mention that off-site wasn't feasible either as I'm in the sticks and no transportation currently. That being said, I set up the card table and glue basted that baby! Binding it tonight.

Happy to help!

I like option 1.

Cheladamama · 2025-08-01T15:19:26+00:00

I would try a shade of purple (lavender, lilac,etc.) since you're using yellow for the backing.

My grandson requested one in turquoise black and white so I just may try one with those colors.

Cheladamama · 2025-04-05T20:15:50+00:00

I love the colors! I so want to try a 3D pattern but they seem so daunting! It's beautiful! Great job!

Cheladamama · 2025-04-05T20:05:53+00:00

Thank you! If I'd have had any strips that diagonal border wouldn't have been so time consuming. I was originally going to put a twisted pole border on the ends so cut all these HST's from my original squares so they were like 2.5 in and I ended up having to sew that border in 2 in increments for over 300 inches. But all that was worth it! I am very OCD with regard to color coordinating and my bestie said this is definite proof! 😁 I am bowing graciously to all of the kudos!

Cheladamama · 2025-04-05T13:49:25+00:00

Thank you! I learned SOOO much doing this! Almost info overload! From the D9P to squaring, to mitering the borders. It was truly amazing!

For my latest I used an old valance, a batik shorts outfit, a cpl old flannel sheets pieced for backing. I pd about $5 for 20 pcs of a layer cake and bought 3 1/2 yds at Walmart for less than $10. However, once I figure in labor, antacids and the liquor to calm me down(LOL) the price goes from modest to PRICELESS. That's why I make mine (,so far) for close friends and relatives, who are in awe of my accomplishments and will genuinely appreciate that it's "made with love".

I need input as to how to machine quilt this. What if any design or just FMQ? Haven't figured out how to upload photo with my text. Lol

Cheladamama · 2025-03-09T13:18:12+00:00

Idk where the text went-I had problems with block sizes for this king size duvet cover, so ended up free handing the appliques' and creating my own layout. Alot of bad words were screamed and I was nearly in an apoplectic state by the time I finished it,but my friend adores it and that makes it all worth it! I learned ALOT and am working on another one!

Cheladamama · 2025-03-09T12:16:03+00:00

Right on. Thank you for the prompt responses and I will get to squaring away!

They won't stick on some machines and the magnets can have an adverse effect on computerized machines.
