what kind of foot do you use?
what kind of a machine do you have, patti? just curious.
Don't know what talents your mom had, but you sure got tons from "Bratti's daddy!" :lol:

I use my darning foot...sometimes use the stitch regulator, sometimes I don't. If I get in a good rhythm...I can do them better without the regulator actually....my machine is a Bernina 200.

My Mom was an artist (watercolors, oils, jewelry maker, seamstress((who didn't teach me how to sew), musician. My Dad is a fabulous cartoonist who ended up with a "real" job and didn't pursue his "arty" side). thanks though (she says blushing :oops:)

Well Patty, the genes have definately been passed on and if your Mum didn´t teach you to sew, you sure as heck have the hang of it now. You do the most amazing things.

This is such a sweet quilt.( I wish I had your talent) I like the ideas you put forth so far! Please post again when it's finished :thumbup:

wish I could learn how to do that. Beautiful quilting.

Ripping done, new ideas and moved forward. I'm actually finished with the quilting now.....Haven't blocked or bound it yet...but here is a sneaky peek of what I've done...

I changed my mind on the feather for the outer border and went with just quilting around the flowers and then I added more to the flower cornerstones. I liked K's ideas for the leaves on the braid, but realized that I was trying to over think that border and it needed something simple so as to not take away from the piecing there.

So...here ya' go...some progress. I'll post a pic of the whole quilt finished when I get it bound.

Oh Patti!!!! :shock: :D :D :D :thumbup:

It's exquisite, Patti. You are a master at quilting with your home machine. If only I could do half as well.

Looks like to me that you should be telling us what to do! That quilt is amazing and the quilting even more so. You have a creative touch so you will do something wonderful

Wowee, Patti, You have made a wonderful job of that. I think I need to come over and get lessons from you. I love your flowers
