10,000 piece Tina Fey mini quilt
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hello all, I am back!

You may remember my first quilt, the one of Tom Hiddleston

I have finished a new quilt top, this time a smaller quilt of Tina Fey rendered in 1/2" diamonds.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]484810[/ATTACH]

This is a non-standard size mini-quilt (it measures roughly 35"x35" after cutting the excess off)

Tina was made entirely from my leftover fabric used for Tom's portrait quilt. I started her in early march and am hand-quilting her now.

It is, well, sitting in a suitcase downstairs unfinished at the moment.

Part of the reason I built Tina Fey is because I could not find a longarm quilter (or any quilter) willing to go near my quilt. So I built a smaller secondary quilt to experiment (either on my own, but I don't have a proper quilting machine)
or to find a long-arm quilter who is willing to experiment and work with with my style of pieceing, which is ultra-small squares.

So... Tom is on hold for now until I can find someone willing to take on such a project (and I hope it won't break the bank since I am only a student)

Can't imagine the planning and work that took!

nena 07-25-2014 04:45 AM

OH MY.... She needs to see this!

Amazing! It seems a real shame your first quilt top is sitting in a suitcase unquilted. Angela Walters quilts many quilts for people that put their quilts in books and competition. Her site is http://www.quiltingismytherapy.com . Another professional who might do your quilt is Judi Madsen from http://www.greenfairyquiltsblog.com
Your smaller piece is super and do some sample FMQ squares before attempting to quilt it.

Stitchnripper 07-25-2014 02:19 PM

Really quite spectacular! I wonder if "not quilty" Tina Fey would like seeing it.

Jeanne S 07-25-2014 02:21 PM

You are a true artist in fabric!!!!!

JuneBillie 07-25-2014 02:23 PM

Have you thought about contacting the 'models'? Your work is amazing and I think they would be honoured to be imortalized in fabric. Absolutely awesome!!

Doggramma 07-25-2014 03:05 PM

This is just as fabulous as your other quilt! You are very talented

michelleoc 07-25-2014 03:41 PM

Seriously, if there was a way to contact these people so that they could see them, you would be busy AND famous. Everyone would want one!
