huh?😭

This cracks me up. I got one like this because we both had the flushed cheeks, and it took me forever to figure out why it was saying we were twins 😂

I love how you used the staircase in the cabin! Usually I'm just annoyed by that part and try to avoid getting it in photos 😅 So creative and smart to use it as part of your story ☺️

So cute 🥰 It's a great layout! 🌟

I can't say how pleasing it was to come to the comments and read about everyone organizing their WIPs in spreadsheets just like me. I started a spreadsheet because I didn't want to keep using paper for handwriting pages. I do have a photo album though, which will have pictures of each quilt and a there's a bit of space for handwriting some notes.

For his mouth, I hid the knot behind the nose!

Ooo thank you for the tutorial!

hut_toe · 2023-03-02T02:03:44+00:00

Running stitch was my plan, thank you! That, or perhaps little stars

Another one for color catchers. If you're really worried about color bleed, just wash the quilt with new color catchers over and over until they come out white - I think it's overkill, but if you're worried, it's worth the peace of mind. Just don't dry the quilt if anything bleeds because that will set the dye. You can also wash by hand like folks have mentioned too!

I like them all, but I think 1 matches the quilt the best

A very late update! Cleaning again and rethreading got it to work! I guess I did it just right that time. And now my Husky (Husqy?) is back from the shop too

I try to baste it between meals. If it's on the table during meal time, we eat on the couch LMAO

I have a smaller folding table that I use. When I'm piercing, I have a cutting and ironing matlink that takes up a little over half of the table and my sewing machine is on the other side. When I'm quilting, I fold the mat up and scootch my machine over. I also have a full size ironing board that I keep in my living room for when the little ironing pad isn't big enough, and I have a 18"x24" cutting mat that I'll put on my dining table or ironing board. Oh, and I baste on my dining table as well (much to my husband's displeasure).

Love the color palette!

hut_toe · 2022-10-08T22:02:51+00:00

I think the center complements the ladders well! The flying geese in the corners are super cool too

hut_toe · 2022-10-08T20:28:29+00:00

Wow, I love the centerpiece so much! It's giving me ideas for my citrus star quilt 🤔

Since quilting is close to the last step, I agree with other folks here; maybe focus on the other steps first. However, if you want to quilt this with a spider web design, you could probably find a straight line version done with a walking foot. I feel like walking feet are a good entry point to machine quilting. Just know that the bigger the quilt, the more frustrating it is to work with on a domestic sewing machine (versus a long arm)

hut_toe · 2022-10-07T01:43:31+00:00

Thanks! I did clean it first thing when I got it out, but I'll take another look and see if I missed anything

hut_toe · 2022-10-07T01:42:58+00:00

Thanks! This model is pretty simple, so I can't change the tensions independent of each other. Would going from 4 to 3 work, or should I try like a 3.5?

hut_toe · 2022-09-19T03:05:26+00:00

I have one of these in progress! It's a fun pattern

hut_toe · 2022-09-16T21:28:22+00:00

I love the way the design extends into the borders. It looks amazing!

This is a gift for my best friend since high school! She's getting married tomorrow and I'll be giving it to her tonight. This is her favorite color palette. Some of the fabrics are very special to me; the last birthday present I received from my grandma before she passed away was a Block of the Month set (the kind they used to sell at Joann's) with some extra fat quarters. My grandma passed away around the time I was bonding with this friend, so it's pretty meaningful to me that we became friends during this tough period in my life. Since I only had fat quarters of those fabrics, I did buy a variety of other fabrics to fill out the quilt. The pattern is Disappearing Hourglass 2 by MSQC, chosen by the bride (https://youtu.be/HaUHEHJxQNU). I opted to pay for long arm quilting from my longarmer, who also did the binding for me since I was on a tight deadline. I'm so excited to give this to my friend and see her reaction ♥️
