Jennifer23 - That is just gorgeous! I'd be happy too.

Kristakz - What a fun quilt! When you had posted a picture of just one plane, I couldn't picture it, now it makes sense. Really clever.

giquilt, I have to resize my photos to all half their original size in order to upload them on this site.

I love all of the quilts being made. I hope to spend today doing some hand quilting on my Welsh Beauty whole cloth quilt. I had a doctor's appointment yesterday afternoon and some errands that needed to be done so I didn't get as much time to quilt as I had hoped.

Happy 4th everybody. Today I'm working on catching up on blocks for a Civil War BOM. Will post pix later. Janet

I have been working on a two-step quilt. It is the latest tutorial from Jenny Doan. All of my blocks are done and I am laying them out getting ready to sew the top together. I think I can finish by tonight. I hope I can share the pictures of one block, and a few of them layed out on the bed. I'm going to sit back a few minutes now to look at what you have all been doing.[ATTACH=CONFIG]575822[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]575823[/ATTACH]

Somehow I must have moved my fence that keeps me from going over my quarter inch scant seam. Have been ripping.

En Provence needs two more long seams.

They do need their teeth. Is he really old? Do they have implants for horses. I know we have chiropracters for draft horses here in Amish country.Marcia

Everyone has such beautiful and fun quilts to show this weekend. This is really inspiring for a rookie quilter.

My goal in the VQW was to finish my 3rd quilt and I am successful. Yesterday I finished quilting, sewing rod pockets, and putting the binding on. Of course it did not go as smooth as it sounds. I am hand sewing the last rod pocket down when I realized I had attached them to the quilt upside down. What followed was some colorful words and the removal of the top piece of binding and sewing it on correctly.

This morning I hung the Bargello and I am really pleased with how it came out. I really like when what I see in my minds eye comes to fruition. You cannot really see the quilting lines in the picture of it hanging, so I am including one where the quilting was done, but the finishing was not. I quilted this by sewing gentle curves with a walking foot through the curves the fabric made. This quilt was completely sewn on my Singer 15-88 treadle. Not bad work for a rookie quilter:-)

Thanks for the advise and the incentive of this thread to get this finished!

Lovely quilts, people! You are getting a lot done.

I have been working on 4 patches for the border of my Rest and Refreshing Civil war quilt. Not much to show this time around....

Good morning everybody, I am dragging this morning the humidity changed on me and caused me to be a little ache this morning. So, I didn't get as much done on this VQW, but there is always another time. Maybe I had my expectations set too high. I wish I could get more than one pix to transfer at a time but, let just go for this. I did get the Craftsy Kit set together and I put together some scrappy borders for it. I'll try to do other things to it later. but there is the pix:
