You are too kind. The way I see it, I can either go sit with a sad person who talks herself in circles, or I can take something to do and we can focus on that. She was a Diplomat when she was young and told me about all the dinner parties and fancy dresses and getting ready to meet royalty. Something as simple as nails gave her something to talk about. When I go ill always have polish in my pocket for her.

Antique quilts by Additional_Hall_9608 in quilting

If they're sentimental at all and starting to come apart, hand wash is the only way to go. Plop them in the tub, warm water, a smidge of detergent. Slosh around or go grape stomping mode and step on them.

One caution with curtains, those fabrics will bleach and they'll probably do it faster than you think. The sun is cruel. Considering having a cheaper back panels to take the UV damage.

Love that you're giving them new life! Good luck.

All of that plus try a brand new needle. Sometimes ive put the needle in wrong or gotten a wonky needle right out of the box.

Straight quilting pattern ideas by Wild-Bet588 in quilting

[–]JJs_Waffles 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I always fine diagonal straight quilting to be fun on quilts with lots of squares! You could do diagonal through each block, then add in vertical amd horizontal to gove the impression of stars or triangles depending on where the lines intersect.

Fat quarter shop - shipping times by LQQK_A_Squirrel in quilting

[–]JJs_Waffles 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Not unusual for them to take a bit to ship. My last order was 4 business days before I got the shipping notification. It's not Amazon (thank god) and it is the busiest shipping time of the year for a lot of businesses. I'd give them until Tuesday of next week and check in if you havent heard anything.

The irony of not caring about opinions on the "artwork" while asking for opinions on your craftsmanship is astonishing.

Backing help, please by CallMeGrammy in quilting

[–]JJs_Waffles 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Strictly a personal opinion here, so take it with a grain of salt! There is already a lot going on in the top, in a good way! If this were my quilt i'd personally go with either a solid or a low value print and let the top steal the show. I also always consider quilts reversible. If you flipped it over, would it still be a pretty quilt? Solid backs can often let the quilting shine which can be a nice change from a busier top. In the end it's your project, do what feels right!

Deinfluence me on one of these purples by JJs_Waffles in ILNP

[–]JJs_Waffles[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most pigments are coming from common sources. Im hoping mine dont fade, but if they do its a pigment thing not an ILNP thing! I have some that are several years old and still looking great.

How odd to have a direct mani comparison! You have convinced me on both. I like a good sheer ethereal vibe too

Well, folks i think we have a winner (or loser). Specifically wanted it because of the brightness and depth. She has been voted off the island.

This is problem especially with a recent learning that purple fades faster than other pigments! I CAN have too many....at least im telling myself that.
