Thread: A New Idea for Fleur-De-Lis Quilt

I posted a picture of my first quilt a couple of days ago. It is listed as my first quilt. Thank you for all of the nice compliments. Still trying to learn more about quilting. I have started laying out samples of material for my next fleur-de-lis quilt . Thinking of using a light gray and and black/white .

This is so beautiful. I love the black and white and the satin. Was the satin very hard to work with?
Did I understand this correctly? This is your first quilt? OMG! I think will be seeing your work with blue ribbons soon.

how elegant and beautiful ,your childern will be very happy to recieve such beautiful quilts

JBeamer to answer your question yes the satin was hard to work with. I had already purchased the material and had an picture of this in my mind so I was determined I was not going to give up. I did learn a lot though by working with it. If you use spray starch on the satin before cutting and then a pinking shear blade and if needed the No Frey it really does help. I am currently working on another new idea and will use satin just a different color. Thank you for the nice compliment. I also have learned a lot by just coming to this web site. I love to go and see what other people are doing and getting advice from them is so great. I don't have a quilting machine and I am a self teacher so this web site is perfect for me.

Very nice. I love that you used black thread for the quilting.

so elegant, just great
