King BOM my LAer was so impressed with (still don't know why)
3 Attachment(s)
Here are some pictures of my king quilt. Remember, it's Civil war fabric so it's not all bright and cheerful. They are all "Stars in a star". I have two borders and each border and a star in each corner, so there is 8 more stars. Now, I can not make a flying goose correctly no matter how hard I try and I had to fudge 128 flying geese. Not one turned out correctly. And I really tried. I did a lot of 1/8" seams so as to not lose the points on the flying geese. The quilt is so big I couldn't lay it flat anywhere in my house. Here is some pictures. Hope they turned out okay. You'll see by the pictures that the quilt isn't any big deal. I don't know what the LAer was talking about when she told my LQS owner what a fantastic job I did on it.

It is very pretty!!!!!!!!!
|
civil war fabrics are to my liking also .the quilt looks great, the double stars are nice
|
nice quilting...
|
Well, JCrow, all you have to do is look at it to know you did a fantastic job. Your points are all perfect and pretty. You really did a good job and the quilt is very pretty.
|
I like it very much and think you did a wonderful job.
|
It's a beautiful quilt and it looks like you 'saved' all your points! Great job!
|
I too am impressed. Love Civil war material and colors..
Thanks for showing off your beautiful quilt.. |
very pretty
|
Beautiful quilt!
|
Lovely quilt and points are looking good...great quilting too.
|
It is beautiful! You obviously are better at "fudging" than some of us! It looks perfect to me!
|
I'm impressed also, great fabrics and design!
|
I can see where she would give you praise. Having good points, squared up blocks, and flat borders is a LAr's dream. Praise well deserved.
|
I think it is a big deal and is beautiful! Don't be so hard on yourself with the flying geese. They look just fine!
Great job! |
You did a better job than I could have done. It looks great!
|
I love Civil War fabric. It looks great.:thumbup:
|
It's fantastic!!! You did a great job, pat yourself on the back!
|
Love it - the fabrics are very nice - looks like a wonderful quilt.
|
I think you under estimate yourself. It's very nice. Love your prints, too.
|
I am not a fan of Civil War fabrics...but I may have just changed my mind! This is a great quilt, and I love the stars within stars - you got the level of contrast just right so your eye floats over the quilt and doesn't get stuck anywhere. And I have now learned that "flying geese" isn't just when you put the units nose to tail, as I always thought. Cool!
As for your LAer: my theory is that she wants to buy the quilt from you... You'll be rich! Rich, I say!!! Alison |

Beautiful job; looks great to me!
|
Oh I love it! I like the muted tones from the period and the work is great!
|
It's a beautiful quilt.
|
Lovely quilt!

The blocks are 12 1/2". The pictures weren't clear. I take horrible pictures. I use my cell phone. But thank you for saying nice things about my quilt. Now, I have to bind it. And I won't say "hate", but binding is something I would rather never ever do. I actually pay people to do my binding. I'm so bad. My LQS owner bound my last quilt. She machine binded it with a flower stitch, so I am going to try that. If it looks bad, I'll pay someone to do it again. I like putting the quilt together but not quilting or binding. I'm not an all around quilter yet.
|
All of the above and may I add that I love the combinations you used in each star. I, too, love the CW fabrics. Great quilt!
|
Beautiful quilt. I can see why she would say that...look at the points on all your stars.
|
I longarm so what I am noticing is those gorgeous points and how even the borders are around the blocks. What that tells me is that this quilt is flat and square, a dream to work on.
|
WOW! It looks fantastic!
|
really pretty and the points turned out well. would paper pieceing the flying geese keep them in shape? i've not tried that with flying geese. may make them go faster.
|
Very nice I love it
|
Very pretty. I love CW fabrics!
|
Wow, I love the colors! Great job!
