I have been inspired by all of you who have done the URR Quilt. :lol:
This quilt top has been a learning experience for me. :roll:
I have only sewn a friendship star and a nine-patch block previous to this undertaking.
I have had many days when I ripped out more than I sewed. :oops:
I have learned so much in the process. :)
Hubby helped me choose the fabrics and the backing for this quilt. :D
He has a good eye for color. I love his choices. :lol:
I do not know how I will quilt it. :roll:
Hubby suggested quilt in the ditch.
I want this quilt to hold up to everyday use.
Please give me your suggestions and comments.
Thank you all,
Sandi
Thank you for the compliment. The URR Quilt Top was a joint effort. Hubby does have a keen eye for color and an eagle eye for backing fabrics.
I would be honored to help in any way I can when you start yours. I know I had issues with the log cabin block. Mine was wobbily and lopsided. I made that block three times before I was happy with it. This quilt top was a real learning experience. I really like doing Sampler quilts.
Blessings,
Sandi
Hi Patty,
I did purchase all the rulers that the book suggested. This was my first attempt at following a pattern and I thought it was best being a newbie. I was pleased with the results and the detailed instructions the book has was easy to follow. Eleanor Burns is a great teacher. I like that she is a detail person.
Blessings to you,
Sandi
