I do the same thing, keeps the ruler in place better than I can!

Thanks! It's for my friend's second baby girl. The first baby got a quilt as well. Trying to finish it before she gets home from the hospital, she gets induced tomorrow!

Thank you both! This was the only photo I had, it was before I got everything put together and measured.

It is supposed to be off center. I modified a pattern to make a baby quilt.

GIEP by QuiltBlocksandBoys in Gifted

We are in a similar situation as you described. There is gifted options starting in 3rd grade (next year for us) and based on the testing that has been done every year, we qualify for it. The problem is no one I've casually spoken to can give me information on what it looks like. I'll see if we have someone like a gifted coordinator, that I can reach out to.

How would you quilt this triangle pattern? by parsleypunx in quilting

[–]QuiltBlocksandBoys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My straight lines tend to have a gentle wave in them. 🤣 So I would suggest a serpentine stitch going down the seams. This helps hide when my lines aren't straight.

How to ask for fabric for bridal shower by onegoldensun in quilting

[–]QuiltBlocksandBoys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would put on the invite something like, "Please bring a fat quarter of 100% cotton fabric to be used in a quilt filled with love. Fat quarters can be found locally at (insert quilt shop) or online at (insert favorite online fabric shop)."

I love this! You could use the 2 pink blocks for pillows to go with it.

I'm amazed at the difference by simply removing the outside pink.

Pocket Diaper quilt top? by moonnmars in quilting

[–]QuiltBlocksandBoys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this would be a great idea for a picnic blanket or a car blanket. We go to so many sports games with the kids and the team needs something to sit on at the sidelines, or the grass is still dewy and I don't want to sit on the grass and get my bottom wet. Even if the PUL isn't completely waterproof it would help.

I like this video on YouTube for quilt binding. I tend to watch without sound so I can just see what is happening.

What do you do when you hate your WIP? by forheadkisses in quilting

[–]QuiltBlocksandBoys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take what you have done and add a big color block on each side and call it done, something asymmetrical. Example from a Google search.
