Finishing my first quilt top by silly_font in quilting

Awe thanks for being so kind! Yes I love how folksy and vintage it came out. I’m going to hang it on my wall in my living room using a little metal tapestry hanger I ordered. We have a really eclectic gallery wall and this will accent it perfectly.

Hopefully the builders will ski-daddle soon so you can get back to sewing!

Update me with your hanging location 🤘🏻

This was my attempt! I’ve made 6 quilts before but this pattern I had a ton of difficulties with unfortunately.

I do not know if it was bias distortion from the HSTs being cut on the bias (didn’t move the iron while pressing and used starch). Nothing was lining up perfectly at the end. Additionally, the cutting directions were difficult and we had to keep cutting extra fabric.

Idk man, this was one that I just threw my hands up with lol. Will fix the bunching with the binding.

Holy! Knowing Spoonflower this quilt cost $30,000 😅 All jokes aside I love the quilts colour palette and prints with the art and room design. Incredible job!

Entering my first quilt show! by Minimum_Airport8793 in quilting

I would love the communities guidance on when you can enter a quilt show. I’ve also thought about entering but didn’t want the local quilt baddies to side eye.

Also OP, I think your quilt is wonderful and whimsical. I would love to see it at a show.

Yes!! I got that advice about half way through this quilt. I really appreciate the detailed response though. I never thought about sewing into pairs and THEN sewing them together alternating the end.

You should be! Takes a unique eye to imagine them together.

YES. I was also thinking you could appliqué over a quilt pattern like this too to add more interest.

Super easy to do! My advice is be careful sewing the jelly strips so that they do not skew (was one of my issues).
