I'm new to this group. Did you notice my avatar? I get creative. It actually has rope stitched around the border, and a seahorse medallion in the center. (OK, I thought it was a good way to hide the points not quite right).
|
btw this is my second quilt. My first was a sampler.
|
Very pretty and clever too :D:D:D
|
Amazing! You really took on a challenge for your 2nd quilt!
|
It's a beautiful quilt. Welcome!
|
Thanks! I did! I commented on diff. post about the wasted fabric.
|
Hello, and welcome aboard. Love your Mariner's Compass :thumbup:
|
btw my first fabric choice was not "right" so I changed it and quilted over it, so the points really do have more dimension.
|
Thx!
|
oops. I meant to say thx to Sew. I love reading the board, thank you for welcoming me.
|
Welcome from Texas. Beautiful Mariner's..love the colors.
|
Thx Reggie! In a diff topic I'm talking about my new project. I'm making a lap throw for a guy in my painting class. It's for his wife. He will make me a salad bowl of wood in exchange. Anyhow, the topic was paper piecing, and there are some good tutorials there.
I really like this group already! |
thx Em! I have lived in TX. I lived in San Antonio, Del Rio, Dallas.
|
never thought of the idea to add a little something to cover up any oopsies...
luv your colors |

You took the bull by the horns. Super!
|
Pretty compass!

Can I ask what pattern you used? It's lovely and different than any I've seen before.

Welcome from Oregon. I have been quilting since the stoneage but have yet to try the MC. You sure jumped into the deep end of the pool. Love your color choices!
|
Beautiful, love the color combination.
|

Nice! And welcome from Alaska.
|
Welcome from California. Love your Avatar. Would never have guessed it was only your second quilt. Beautiful.
|
Oh, very nice! Keep up the good work! :thumbup:
|
Congratulations on getting thru the Mariners Compass. I made one as well. It is a king size in total measurements. I also used a rope quilted around the outside of the star, in between the lines. My star is 36 inches and had to get my hubby to draft it for me as there was no pattern big enough for it. I made it for my son's 26 year retirement from the Coast Guard. Jan

OMG.....looks like you are a nautural! Love your avatar :-D
|
Thanks Susan. Then I had to figure out how to hang it on the wall. The backing is an old sheet, so I just used a hot glue gun and tacked it to the wall. I figure it's never going to move, and I wasn't that worried about the back. It worked well, it is hanging nice and flat against the wall.
I am thinking about doing the same with the sampler quilt hanging over my bed. I used tacks and it is starting to sag. |
I do have a large picture of it. I don't know how to share it here.
|
I LOVE IT
