Sounds like a great idea, sometimes we get inspired by the unfinished as well the completed projects

PieceandLuv 01-05-2011 12:58 PM

yesssssssss

J Carol 01-05-2011 01:36 PM

I would just because it would help to figure some of the patterns out.

faithsmamaw 01-05-2011 01:50 PM

SpotMurphy 01-05-2011 02:11 PM

Friday night I hope to have two long panels done to show. Then I have one more panel and can put them together with blocks and sashing. This one is McKenna Ryan's Out & About pattern enlarged and made into a quilt (not the 12 inch hangings). You can see the individual 12 inch patterns on her web site.

sewmom---yes count me in

mpeters1200 01-05-2011 02:23 PM

I love too as well, so count me in. On most of my threads that I start about my quilts are all WIPs. Sometimes people get tired of seeing the same few photos and don't go forward to the new stuff, then others are with it for the whole journey. I've done two so far.

Posts of our mistakes might help others. I loved the post of the curtains. One panel was much shorter than the other panel. I know everyone laughed and felt happier for having seen it. I know to start in the middle of the quilt sandwich and quilt center out, center down, center up, but did I do it? No. I listed. I was using decorative stitches in matching colors of thread, on my Swish Bargello. Quilted through the center and while I have that color of thread on let me do this strip at the bottom right. Oh, there is another one here on the far left. Did I keep doing that with each color thread? Yes.
I have 32 hours rip out and repair time for that decision. The first day my husband was as quiet as a mouse. He tried to act like he wasn't watching me. The second day he seemed to avoid the sunroom where I was working. The 3rd day he said "hon, how much do you have to rip out".
No, I didn't take a photo of the kitty whampus backing. It is etched forever in my mind.

This sounds like fun; count me in too. Now for a good laugh, check out my last GOOF!
Down zigzag - Up zigzag; Down zigzag - Up zigzag---er Nope. Seam ripper please! lol Or, since this is a charity quilt, perhaps I will just put some nice children's fabric on back and say that is the front without taking quilt apart. After all, what child is going to say this is wrong. Some boy would probably just drive his toy car up-down the zigzags as if racing on the autobahm.

jemcnutt 01-05-2011 02:53 PM

absolutely

Darlene's 01-05-2011 03:36 PM

Bonnie 01-05-2011 03:39 PM

I enjoy seeing the in progress ones and the finished product. :lol:

deanna_1 01-05-2011 03:58 PM

I understand that not every one have a camera or can download pictures but I would love to see work in progress

QuiltingHiker 01-05-2011 04:01 PM

Doesnt life think about us quilters? Don't they know that when we are concentrating on what we are doing, that it is supposed to cook for us, clean for us, and all that other stuff Life decides it wants. LOL

Count me in.

Here is my newest WIP. I am doing this while waiting for the silk velvet to arrive to finish the silk quilt. This is a QAYG project I am doing for the same DDIL. I owe her 2 Christmases. She loves the beach and hopes to have a beach house some day; so this is for the future beach house.

So nice.. Fancy machine. :thumbup: . I looked at your silk quilt too. I like it and it looked like it was finished. Very pretty.

I am one of the one that start reading from the beginning most of the times I re-visit the post. I will read start to new finish and next time I will read start to new finish. It sets it in my head so I will remember it is out there if I ever need it. Then I just hope I can find it again. Sorry you lost your granny. ((Hugs.))

JUNEC 01-05-2011 04:14 PM

I think that is a great idea

This is one of my Sudoku hangings.........

the first is one of nine blocks....had to check and double check the placement of the flowers.....

they all had to have 9 different flowers in a box,
9 different flowers going vertically and again
9 different flowers going horizontally ......

the second is what I added to the back so that there would be a puzzler solution.....

and the third is the finished project.

It was a lot of fun but I am not that greatest of a puzzle solver
!!!!!!!!!!!

1 of 9 blocks, all different

Thanks. The machine is the Designer Diamond by Viking. I have it connected to the computer and off I go. The silk quilt has to have borders and backing yet. Can't wait for the silk velvet to come, hopefully by Friday so I can finish it over the weekend. This is my first QAYG so it is fun so far. Now if the dogs wouldn't keep interrupting me....

sewingsuz 01-05-2011 04:19 PM

Janet My 01-05-2011 04:22 PM

I had my response typed on this but it disappeared so if it shows up somewhere later we will just over look it. Okay?
I played Sudoku for a couple of years and got pretty good at it. Then I found the Quiltingboard and haven't played Sudoku for a year. Nice quilt. I love the fabrics and colors.
