finally quilted my crumb quilt I made about 3 yrs ago. now to bind it. I guess that counts as a finish, right.
|
absolutely. I'm no where near I have a bunch of half completed projects just sitting around the house.
|
I have them also. Seems like I start one and another just calls my name!
|
I'm trying to get inspired by all of you. I also have a tablerunner gift for August I just have to finish up. I wonder if i should machine quilt it or hand quilt. Machine will get done quickly, but hand may look nicer. What would all of you do. it's a gift, remember.
|
I would say that it would depend on the person I was giving it to. Some would appreciate the machine look and some would appreciate the time and love put in every hand stitch.
I've been cleaning up around the craft room so i had a big influx of scraps. |
It seems I have plenty of projects going as well...just get a start on something and then get interrupted, so nothing refinished and in the meantime I forget where I'm at in the project..
My current one is a postage stamp/Irish chain quilt. 31 12x12 blocks and 32 connector blocks..I'm using fabrics that are for the most part unwanted in my general stash. They all come from my 1 1/2" bin. I hope to make a dent in the pile:D:D:D. When I shared it with my 12 yo GD and said it wasn't going to be very pretty, she replied, "It will have character"...made me laugh...so now it's my character quilt.... |
I was cutting 1 1/2 inch squares today. Over time, I have a lot cut but not a one sewn. Can't wait to see yours, OK
|
Post #2126: oksewglad, I am also working on a postage stamp chain quilt. Mine will be a large lap/maybe twin made up of ninety-nine 64-patch blocks. I have 18 more chain blocks to do, but only work on them between projects so it's slow going. But I love working with these little 1-1/2" squares!
|
when i was 18, and kinda sick in the head, i cut out by scissor 1" squares and sewed them together to make my boyfriends dog a quilt. the finish size was about 1/2". she loved that quilt. I must have been nuts. it was small about 36" x 45". the things we do in our youth!
|
LOL..still think I am sick in the head...can't blame youth for it:D:D:D
This is the quilt I am trying to put together...maybe you should give it a try Blue Bell.. Evie, is your similar to this one? I think I have a 12x12 setting alternating with a pieced chain block http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...n-t242566.html http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...c-t242958.html |
