That is soooo cute, and I'll bet it was an original pattern!!! The fancy quilting is very pretty. I love it!!!

kwiltkrazy 08-03-2010 11:39 AM

Me too, it is so well put together, with a great deal of attention put to details, she turned the binding to the front and machine sewed it and it is perfect, I don't know how anybody could do that, I've tried more than a few times, and always had to take it out and hand do it, the adorable fancy(decorative) stitching around the "motifs", and the adorable yo-yos. She also send me some sewing machine needles, my fav. size and brand, and a measuring gauge, that will come in very handy when designing my curved piecing projects, I've always used an add-a-quarter ruler, and that was very awkward. I'd add another pic of them but my batteries are dead, we went on a picnic yeaterday and took lots of pics. Thank you letsquilt, I love it.

We all can't thank you enough Chele for starting it and keeping it going. THANK YOU CHELE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree, I am just loving this swap!

We sure have some talented people on this board!

laparshall 08-03-2010 12:25 PM

Kwiltkraz: Wow! Letsquilt did a beautiful job on that quilt. An amazing quilter and I was lucky enough to have her for a swap partner, so I too own one of her pieces of art.

jetnica 08-03-2010 12:57 PM

wow -- that green and brown one is pretty! I love the stars!

kwiltkrazy 08-03-2010 01:29 PM

Love the paper pieced bird quilt, and the America quilt is so folk artsie(this is a compliment, I love folk art).

And laparshall you're my partner this month.

letsquilt 08-03-2010 04:23 PM

Kwiltkrazy, Im so glad you like the quilt, I dont know if you realized it or not but the top left corner is an L for Lucinda.

kwiltkrazy 08-03-2010 04:41 PM

Oh yeah. I love it. It looks really good on my front room wall, they are pink. How do you get the binding so perfect when you machine bound it, sorry that sounds so awkward.

letsquilt 08-03-2010 04:50 PM

I dont always, A friend of mine told me it was easier to stitch the binds on the back then roll over to front.

kwiltkrazy 08-03-2010 04:58 PM

I've got my little gem turned wrong, if you were to turn it to where the large star is in the upper right hand corner, the block on the upper left is an L, for Lucinda, isn't that clever.

prairiekat 08-03-2010 05:27 PM

Just to let everyone know ckcowl and I (prairiekat) each have our doll quilts, I have pictures of both, but camera's not home this evening. Hopefully in a few days I will get organized.

Ckcowl made me a red blue, and white star-topped wall hanging, perfect edge finishing made greater as she had star edges to work with. And I made her a RBW "Fourth of July" wallhanging that was a block in a quilt Jinny Beyer designed. I called it Murphy's Star, seemed I was either cutting wrong, short fabric or sewed things together incorrectly, but I won! Both her DH and kitty said it's a keeper so it will reside in Michigan. Will get the pictures listed soon.

kwiltkrazy 08-03-2010 05:39 PM

Know what you mean, I've made plenty of Murphy's Law quilts. It's amazing, they turn out nice.

wvdek 08-03-2010 08:02 PM

Wow, missed a few days so had to catch up. Great quilts ya'all.

Did ya notice how many of us did PPing and decorative stitching on ours? Wow, must have been the moon or something.

I hope my partner got the DQ I sent. I haven't heard anything and don't get to check every day right now, as I am out of town, but I haven't seen anything about it. It has tracking. My partner last month did not post a picture but sent a PM. Hope everything is okay with my partner and that she likes the DQ. I always feel like my skills are not good enough or maybe I didn't do a good enough job until I hear if the recipient actually is pleased. I know life gets in the way and I will be patient. :-) Everyone's DQs are so special again this month.

jljack 08-04-2010 03:49 PM

Oh my gosh!!! Look at these adorable quilts!! Ladies!! You have outdone yourselves for sure. I can't wait for August!!! And I get to swap with Ms Grace!! YIPPEE!!

Yep... I converted a pieced pattern into a paper-pieced pattern.

Punk Quilter: This is a great quilt. I love the quilting and the fabric. You can see the boat moving on the waves.
