This quilt is for my sister in law who hinted that she would love her very own quilt for Christmas, after she had complimented me on my first quilt. I asked what she wanted and she wanted to be able to curl up with it on the couch and that her favorite colors were pink and green. She said she loved everything I've made so whatever I picked would be good! How could I resist after that kind of compliment? Pattern is a Jacob's Ladder with 6 different fabrics from Micheal Miller Gypsy Bandana. Second quilt I've pieced, first time for FMQ. I am really proud of the border quilting!
You can see the two embroidery labels in this picture [ATTACH=CONFIG]254637[/ATTACH] |
Really your first FMQ! Awesome, I am so jealous - I haven't the guts to try it yet. Loving the colors - I like bold statement fabrics and this is perfect. Your sister will LOVE it!

Absolutley gorgeous, love those colors!! I made a baby quilt with those same colors and I think they go good with each other.

Very nice! Glad she loved it!
|
It is beautiful! The first picture, from a distance, the blocks looked like a printed panel, and I was WOWED when I saw how well you achieved the blending of those pinks. I am so happy to hear that she gushed over it.
|
So pretty!! I really love the pattern you chose. I love the gypsy bandana prints! I used some this summer (in clothing). I have some scraps left, but I think I'll need more for a quilt!!.
|
what a lucky sil!! very pretty quilt and your fmq is really nice.
|
About the FMQ, I say just go for it! I did watch a lot of youtube videos and did research. I also think I avoided a lot of tension and drag problems by buying quilting gloves, the supreme slider(I have since added vinyl on the sewing table and ironing board to help with the bulk of the quilt) and the Little Genie Magic Bobbin Washers. I had 3 thread snarls on the back of the whole quilt and that was it. Just start with something you don't really care about, like practice sandwiches or a panel.
