I've been busy. It's almost done... A little more quilting in those big white blocks, put a binding on...

I just LOVE that quilt!!

Nice, I like the colors and bordering. Destined to become a classic.

i'm likin' it ... i'm likin' it :P

but ... ummmm ... where's the pink? :mrgreen:

P.S. I lied. i'm LOVIN' it :wink:

You know blues are my fave, right???

Tim, that is really great! You really do awesome work!

All I can say is WOW!! Lucky person to get that quilt. Good job, Tim!

Great job again Tim. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

Blues and white, what a classy and classic quilt. It's beautiful k_juniper!

Okay! You're excused for missing out on the BOtMs lately. Wonderful quilt. Is this the one for your daughter?

wow tim you've been very busy.i just love your quilt.

What a beautiful quilt!!!

Yes, Tim, it looks as though you've been very busy! Excellent job! Very nice colors!

my favorite colors, blue and bluer! you know Tim, if you give your daughter a quilt she'll be warm for a season, but if you teach her to quilt she'll be warm always. or something like that!
anyway it's very very nice. what kind of batting do you use?

Ooooooh.....very pretty Tim!!! I'll bet that is a little time consuming.....but you can catch up on the BOM's!

That sure is one mighty fine quilt!!

You know, if you run out of time to put a real binding on, you could always use duct tape :lol: :lol: j/k

It is quite a beautiful quilt, and the quilting is superb. Thanks for sharing!!

That's a lovely quilt Tim. The blue and white gives it a lovely crisp clear look. You have been busy :-)

I really like two color quilts, did you design it or follow a pattern? It is a very striking quilt, you did a good job. :D

I followed directions out of a book on two color quilts. They called it Double Irish Chain, but the color scheme they used isn't correct for a double irish chain. So... I call it Wild Irish Rose cause that's what my daughter is. I added the dentals on the ends.

I will send a PM shortly with my mailing address for you Tim.... :wink:
What are you quilting in ? Was this to give you a break from all the Flying Geese blocks? :lol: You do NICE work! Thanks for sharing.

In that case he probably won't teach her until she's at least 30. She might get too "hot, and he'd have to fight off twice as many guys!
No, I'm just teasing. Pass on that knowledge!!!

Yes, this is for my 12 YO. She is busy making Rennisance costumes on her mother's 20 YO Singer. I think I threaded the bobbin backwards for her last night. It's a drop in and my Ex told me it goes opposite how I thread the bobbins on my Elna or Bernina.

That is the Warm and not natural cotton batting. Actually it's called Warm and White I believe. Pretty thin but heck, this is California. Unless I have screwed up royally, this quilt ought last her for a long dang time.

Some of those BWBs are going to be cross hatched and diamond hatched, some are going to have Celtic knots. Wish me luck.

I love the idea of the celtic knots. I think that's going to be stunning. I have a whole book of celtic designs. It would be pretty to do them all using only the celtic designs. But the cross-hatching will be pretty as well!

Muscling this queen sized quilt through 15 freehand machine quilting designs isn't my idea of fun. I am not very good at it yet anyway. So some near the edge will be machine free hand , the rest will be cross hatching.

tim

Aw, where's your sense of adventure K? :mrgreen:

I'm sure it's going to be incredible no matter how you do the blocks! It's already got a beautiful start to it. I agree that maneuvering that much bulk under the needle ain't easy. :)

Beautiful! I love it! Today's my birthday...when can I expect it to arrive???
Shelly

Happy Birthday, Shelly!

Tim, that's beautiful! Has your daughter seen it yet? I agree, we don't need very warm quilts. . . others here would probably laugh when we say it's cold outside.



And, Shelly, Happy Birthday!

Hi Celeste. She has seen it and is anxiously awaiting the arrival of 'her' quilt to put on 'her' bed.

It does get nippy around here, but cold is a stretch.

tim just south of you.

Tim, I'm working on a trip. Irish chain and it feels very familar so I had to come look at your again. Yep it looks very much the same, mine is barely blue, blue and bluer! How big were your strips? they look a bigger than my 2" ones and my queen size will have 40 of the big blocks, mine are 5". I'll have to find some celtic designs since this is for my FIL. All I have is girly stuff!

Finished strip size is 2". Each small block is 2x2. Notice the small block pattern is 7 squares by 7 squares. Different from some double Irish Chains of 5x5 squares blocks....
The large blocks are 10x10 with a 2 inch border around them (includes the last 4 blocks of the design. So each "block" is 14x14. There are 30 blocks, 5x6 for a queen sized quilt.

I can't wait to see your Triple.

tim

kathy and i have checked and realized you haven't given yourself full credit, Tim. yours is also a triple chain.

i guess that means mine will have to be a king quadruple ... or a california king quintuple if i want to attempt to out-do you ... or anybody who even thinks they stand a chance to out-do yours.

rats!!! :shock:

the competetive spirit is costly ... ain't it? :lol:

BEAUTIFUL! You can't go wrong with blue and white in my book. You should be proud.

WoW! Great Work!

Gorgeous :thumbup:

wow, what a quilt

very pretty
