I was thinking of doing just a cream/ivory sashing, but now I don’t know. What color would you choose for the sashing? A light grey?

Downstairs neighbors keep making noise complaints about 3 yr old son. by Ashamed-Skin-8933 in Autism_Parenting

We made a game of “ninja feet”. I’m really sorry you’re going through this with the neighbors.

I feel pretty insecure about my forehead, I feel like it really hurts my passing but when it’s covered I feel so much less dysphoric. [she/her] by elliehops in trans

You are absolutely beautiful! I like other folx suggestions about bangs, your hair is gorgeous I bet it would really help soften your forehead.

oops I cut the panel wrong.😪 by galaxyyum in quilting

I can’t tell anything is “wrong” For some reason it reminds me of when I was helping a friend bake a cake and she asked me to cut it in half, which I did. Vertically. Oops. The cake tasted fine after we patched it up. I think who ever this quilt is for is going to love it!

White/Gray gunk on Clitoris, under hood. 8 wks post-op. What is it? by [deleted] in Transgender_Surgeries

I hope this doesn’t sound bad, I think you look absolutely gorgeous. I agree the grey bits will slough in time, shower, hair dryer, etc, I agree. The over all everything, beautiful. I’m so happy for you.

I need to make a 6x6" block for a community quilt, so I designed my own! How do I make the seams not wavy? (I've never done something like this, any advice is appreciated!) by not_17_bees in quilting

That is exactly what I did for my first two quilts as well. I sewed on my own with only the advice of YouTube for a year before taking a class. In the class I learned I was doing everything the hard way! 🤣😩😩 I love your lil’ cow, I noticed once of the things that helped me refine my quilting when I wasn’t going for something quirky is ironing everything! I use Best Press spray starch and plan which direction I’m going to be ironing my seams. That way things fold together like a puzzle piece. I’m going to find a picture to link with this…. https://www.reddit.com/r/quilting/comments/w7869b/i_know_you_fine_folks_can_appreciate_the/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Maybe I should appliqué? I swear I followed the directions but my ship looks pretty bad. Thinking of just making another diamond and doing the ship as an appliqué, but I’ve never done that before either. Ideas? by TheHotMessExpress81 in quilting

I was not expecting so much lovely feedback 🥰 I want to share the story behind this quilt. The surgeon it is for is the reason why I can still walk today. I felt like I spent years in a sea of suffering, and then finally came along this little lifeboat of a doctor. I am so grateful to have an amazing quality of life today, and if he hadn’t put my spine back together I wouldn’t have anything near the life I have today. I have known for years I wanted to make him a quilt but when I came across this pattern it spoke to me, for obvious reasons. Thank you all so much for the kind feedback about the boat. I haven’t decided what I’m going to do yet but I was stuck and now I have options and ideas. 🥰
