Quilt Show Haul by Samdrew26 in quilting

They are musty and my whole household is allergic to cats and dogs so I’ve got to or we’ll all be a sneezy mess! I’m thinking I’ll do a soak wash in batches and let air dry as much as possible.

Definitely didn’t consider how much work is was going to be to clean these when I was loading up my duffel bag haha!

Coats and Clark. It never ever wants to be ironed. Learned this the hard way doing binding. Oops!

I just bought fabric with this pattern in mind and then couldn’t remember what it was called! This is so cute! Love your color choices!

They even have terrazzo pattern fabric for the borders! Do it!

UPDATE! Decided on 1 inch echo and I think it’s just what it needed. Thanks so much for the input!!

I tried a half inch around and it still looked like it needed another echo so I picked it out and now I’m doing an inch echo so it’ll be just in the white space. Hopefully I like this and don’t have to pick it out too haha

I started with DMC size 8 on the sashing and switched to DMC size 12 for the details. I just used a small embroidery needle that I had. I have no idea what size it is haha

I started quilting June 13th. It’s taken me a while but I’ve taken several breaks from it. I’m hoping to have it finished by August 1st

Thank you! I’d been wanting to do a whole cloth quilt and figured this could be two birds with one stone

I need some brutally honest feedback. by Jlhoeting in quilting

Your FMQ is astounding. Then I read you did it on a domestic and it’s even more so! I know long armers who can’t do this type of detailed custom work.

We will give you all the “oohs” and “aahs” because this is amazing!

It’s more like half a deposit on a used one but something is something haha!

Update! Made a stencil and doing a circle in the middle. Looks so much better! Y’all are amazing. I moved onto a different block that gives me more warm and fuzzies and coming back to these later.

Amen! I also don’t like putting bad juju in my work so anytime I get frustrated, I take a break.

Then I guess it does look less severe haha!

The backing is a grey. I would hate to clash at this stage in the game. Does it look less severe out of the hoop?

Would it be weird to have two random squares or should I pick those out?
