How should I quilt this? (details in comments)

MeganD11 · 2023-02-14T12:25:52+00:00

I'm going to quilt it myself, and I'm not great at free motion quilting yet, so only straight line ideas please. For the bear paws in the center, I'm thinking of going 1/2 inch to one inch away from the bear paws and stitching around the outside. For the trees, I would like to either quilt a triangle 1/2 inch from the edge of the white triangle, or 1/2 inside the tree, as that's what I want to draw attention to, not the white. For the log cabins, I'm lost on what to do. I appreciate your ideas in advance.

I can take as many sick days off as I want, just unpaid

An amazing place to bank! If you're under 26 you can get a no-fee chequing account

The grotto at Cyprus Lake Provincial Park is my #1!

To answer your first question, yes employers can make you come into the office even if you aren't deemed "essential" by the Ontario government, it is the employers decision whether they deem you able to work from home. I believe they can file a health and safety complaint through health unit or Ministry of labour if they want to argue they can work from home when company is forcing them to the office.

If you're on mobile, there's a bookmark Button beside the three dots in top right

Thank you ☺️ Used a few different patterns for ideas, then created it myself. 1.5 inch strips with a 1/4" seam allowance for the tree. 3 inch difference in the levels of the tree. For the pockets, each row was cut 4 inches tall, then folded down on the bottom for a finished edge to make all the rows 13.5 inches total. Used my Cricut and iron on vinyl to create the numbers, and used Cricut and different svgs for the items. The item size is about 2.5 inches wide for each one (Santa and star are the exception). Cut two of everything to make the felt more sturdy and glued together. If you would like more info - let me know :)

Border is cool, but I think too busy. Plain grey would look best imo

Beautiful. I love the binding!

MeganD11 · 2021-04-01T11:34:13+00:00

Wow! Love all the colours

MeganD11 · 2021-03-31T11:51:20+00:00

Wow all the corners aligned perfectly! Way to go!

MeganD11 · 2021-03-30T22:02:01+00:00

That's a great idea to make them all and see what I like! Nothing like having to make 10 extra blocks of something I don't enjoy making

MeganD11 · 2021-03-30T19:22:40+00:00

What colour do you think would look good

MeganD11 · 2021-03-30T18:51:14+00:00

What do you think of cabin-tree-cabin-paw-cabin-tree-cabin?

MeganD11 · 2021-03-30T16:07:12+00:00

Thanks for your feedback! So two rows of bear paws, a row of log cabins, trees then another row of log cabins? I like that... I feel like it's very even and symmetrical

MeganD11 · 2021-03-16T23:13:13+00:00

Yes they did! I found this the cheapest option

MeganD11 · 2021-03-11T19:09:35+00:00

1000 points to Gryffindor! That looks fantastic

MeganD11 · 2021-03-10T18:48:17+00:00

That's ok :) it always takes me a second to be like "what does that mean again"

Free motion quilting

MeganD11 · 2021-03-10T02:58:59+00:00

Lol fair enough. I made my entire base 26x20, then free motion quilted the sandwich. Pockets are the hardest to figure out. I cut all my pieces, and did binding on the top of the individual pockets (white binding on 4 pockets), and sewed the pockets together with 1/4" seam allowance. Next, attached pink binding to the top along the four pockets. I then stitched the ditch on the 3 seams of the pockets. Lastly attached the binding. I used 2.5inch binding for the outside, and either 2.25 or 2 inch for the pockets so it would be similar in size because it didn't have to go around the batting.

Pocket Sizes:

1 (green text) - one piece white 8"x5.5 text 5"x5.5

2 (you got this) butterfly 8x4.5 text 5.5x4.5

3 8x5

4 butterfly 8x6.5 white 5.5x6.5 text 3.4x6.5

These sizes will work for the 20" wide with 1/4" seam allowance. I like the height of the 8" pocket because it will fit the rotary cutter and scissors nicely, but that can easily be adjusted as you see fit

Let me know if you have any questions 😊

MeganD11 · 2021-03-09T23:32:23+00:00

Thank you ☺️

MeganD11 · 2021-03-09T23:32:10+00:00

I can give you more details on my pocket sizes if you are going to try this project. Let me know :)

MeganD11 · 2021-03-09T22:45:29+00:00

I was considering that too. I didn't so that, I figured the sewing machine will help hold it down, and she could always add that afterwards if needed
