My Baltimore is ready for quilting....finally

I started the BOM with everyone and even though I changed it around a bit, I am very happy with our group and the quilt. It rocked. I used my own tye-dyed fabric and it was raw edged applique and I love it. Sorry the pictures are sideways.

Beautiful quilt. I've always wanted to do a Baltimore album quilt. I have only made a couple of blocks that went into another quilt. Love the tie dye
|
Thank you, I had always wanted to do one too, and it wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. Definitely used raw edge and wonderunder to do it.
|
It turned out great! Loved seeing it's progress throughout the journey. The next one I am going to do with heat n bond lite. I got side tracked with this one so will start over and redo mine.
|
Such a wonderful fresh look to such a traditional quilt. Love the fabrics!

Thank you. The hardest part for me is picking out fabrics for a project, so all I had to worry about is to fussy cut the colors I wanted out of my fabric. Bonni, I would love to see what you do with yours. I did use regular heat and bond and there is a whole lot of thread in this, but I used different varigated threads for the stitches on the applique

:) beautiful quilt -- I'm ready to measure and start connecting and bordering my blocks -- the next quilts are going to be easy with no applique, especially little leaves!!-- but I have enjoyed doing the blocks and will be proud of my finished quilt!-- yours is a thing of real beaty -- congrats!!
|
Oh so gorgeous! The tye dye fabric is beautiful!
|
Great job! Love the dyed fabrics.
|
Outstanding, my first love is Baltimore Quiilts. Your choice of colors is very interesting, some times it pays to step out of the box.
|
Thank you, I have been tyedying fabric for about 10 years making quillows, and there isn't anything like it. I had some white cotton that just needed something done with it. Some of it was vibrant and some really merged together to make a yucky color, but sometimes that has a place in a quilt too. I really like stepping out of the box and am really non traditional but Baltimore is as traditional as you can get.....LOL

Very nice, I have a Baltimore Album quilt however it was yardage and I cut all the pieces out and made my own quilt design and then hand quilted around each one . No one in my family is a quilter and they all tell me it is their favorite quilt, I thank them and do not tell them it was printed on there & no one is any the wiser. I am very pleased the way it came out. There were four of us who seen it hanging in a quilt shop & she did not have any more like it so I did some internet research and found enough for all of us. I am the only one who has gotten anything done on it let alone done and hanging. I am very pleased with the outcome. How are you going to quilt yours?

I hope your regular heat and bond did ok when you sewed them on. A long time ago, I used reg. h & b and tried to applique. My thread kept breaking and the needle kept breaking. I finally gave up on it and later found out that I should have used light heat and bond.

Beautiful quilt, love the borders. Love the colors. I am still working on mine as I am making a king size. Haven't even squared the blocks yet. Thanks for posting.
|
You should see it in person! Holly I love it!
|
Thanks everyone. I finally got my backing fabric in the mail today and it is in the washer. I think I can get it on the rack tomorrow.
|
Your quilt is beautiful. Your fabrics are amazing!
|
Thanks Peggy, I loved batiks when they came out too but truly love tye-dye. I love to fussy cut my colors and taking muslin and dyeing them, was so cool. I know the colors are not going to run (that is the special dye I use) so I can use it with confidence that it won't mess up the white. I am quilting it right now, but haven't been at the frame since last weekend. Too much going on this week to sit down......LOL

It is finally done,
