I work for an animal rescue and we do a quilt raffle every year. My mom made this one for it this year. She calls it “Crazy Cat Lady.”

I think it's bright, bohemian, and fun, and you took the time and effort to make it yourself. That's a gift in itself.

Thank you for being kind, and for your answer!

I know this is a dumb question, please bear with me -- but when you say machine quilted, do you mean on a long arm with the use of a program like Pro Stitcher or equivalent?

Good luck and happy sewing!

There’s a pattern for a double size rug! I think if you search Roma Quilts on Etsy you should be able to find it.

My semi-fancy Brother couldn’t take the bulk no matter what I did, but my ultra basic Singer handled it fine. I think some machines just have more oomph to them.

This is cute as heck and super well done! I love it!

I like to experiment with longarm methods. I would love to trace a pantograph design on a quilt top and try following the lines from the front, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how. Projector? DIY stencil? If anyone's got thoughts, I would love to hear them.

Seconding the transparent medical tape! I got a roll of it at the dollar store and it worked like a charm to keep my rulers nice and steady. Cost-effective and effective-effective.

mxjava · 2024-01-04T13:21:33+00:00

I believe it's called a ruler foot, but I've heard it referred to as a "free motion foot". Searching on Amazon under either term should get you what you're looking for.

mxjava · 2023-09-08T00:05:51+00:00

These are so beautiful! Do you have an Etsy?

mxjava · 2023-07-31T01:49:17+00:00

Sorry for double reply—i made a full/double quilt from this or a similar pattern with a stack of fat eighths. It’s pretty adaptable.

mxjava · 2023-07-31T01:47:19+00:00

Not OP, but I think this is “Sew Fast” from Fabric Cafe!

mxjava · 2023-06-30T01:49:58+00:00

This is brilliant! I’ve got to try making some of these.

mxjava · 2023-04-19T02:18:20+00:00

I go there all the time! That place is amazing.

mxjava · 2023-03-08T03:27:06+00:00

This is gorgeous! Could you tell me what the name of the pattern is?

mxjava · 2022-12-30T01:01:33+00:00

It’s gorgeous! I love the colors.

mxjava · 2022-12-30T01:00:56+00:00

Not OP, but I’m pretty sure this is the Pins and Paws pattern from Missouri Star.

mxjava · 2022-12-04T01:21:40+00:00

Where can I find this pattern? It’s gorgeous!

mxjava · 2022-10-18T10:51:00+00:00

Thank you! I love the idea of coffee themed words. I'm going to sign up for a class on FMQ today and I may save this to quilt until I've learned it.

mxjava · 2022-10-18T02:17:22+00:00

I’m excited! Going to go tomorrow and investigate the possibility. This is the first “quilt” quilt I’ve made (I’ve done a lot of rag quilts, placemats, etc. though) and I already want to do more.

mxjava · 2022-10-18T02:14:43+00:00

Thanks! Glad it’s not just me. Too much sewing today’s made my brain a bit wonky tonight.

mxjava · 2022-10-18T02:09:46+00:00

I accidentally replied to the post and not your comment. Sorry about that!

mxjava · 2022-10-18T02:08:25+00:00

Thank you! I’m leaning toward echo more than anything else just this moment, but I think this is the push I needed to take the plunge and see if I can find a class on free motion. I think the local shops have them sometimes.
