You are still one of us, Angie, so we will be patiently waiting <g>

I can't believe just the four of us took this on, although I think there will be more quilts like this in the future from downloaded instructions. Looking forward, Angie, to seeing yours completed. It was fun to see how each stage really changed the look of the quilt!

As for the quilting, well, I don't have anything fancy planned. I'm going to have to think about it a bit. Those star centers turned out pretty good for me, not too bulky. I altered the instructions slightly by starting my seams 1/4" in and using my lock stitch. That left me the center bits that could be turned to lay flat.

B.Zang! Aren't you the clever one, though?
Can you explain about the lock stitch? Is that similar to making the machine stitch two or three times in the same place?
I decided I was going to cut out another one of those quilts for tomorrow, and then! remembered I had loaned my pattern to a friend!
Maybe I will do delectable mountains ...
so many choices! too much time ... so little ability to make up my mind! LOL

How do u make those blocks?
what is it called and what do i need to make it?
and is it very hard for a beginner in quilting but sum sewing experiance?

cutebuns

The blocks were not hard at all. The directions when they were posted were pretty clear is you could read them, This is where you can find them. http://planetpatchwork.com/Case127/case127part1.htm

Most quilting is not that big a jump if you have sewing experience. Some things are different but most of it is just the same. And if you have any problems the board is usually pretty good at talking everyone through it.

The instructions has a list of everything that you will need.

what i think is hardest is actually lining things straight and cut things straight :oops:

cutebuns

there are ways to fold the fabric to make it easier to get it straight. then practice with the ruler and rotary cutter, once you get a handle on it things will get more accurate. Take your time, especially when you first start. and do some reading. There is a lot of information on this site and others, and if you like the internet you tube usually has a lot of videos to watch as well.
