All of those are amazing and very gorgeous and I would FMQ them myself. Just practice a while and go for it, they will turn out just fine and look at the money you will save. They are so strikeingly beautiful no one will notice the quilting anyway. I may have invented a couple of new words trying to say how beautiful these are.

Pam,
I've commented before but have to say it again, these are fantastic, I think you must quilt in your sleep tho. And now your going to have your TinLizzy you really are going to be putting them out.
I absolutely love your Dahlia quilt, can you tell me what technique you used to make it? One of these years I want to do one.

I used the Marti Michell giant dahlia templates. They have reference mark holes on the curved edges that you line up when joining pieces and it came out just perfectly.

I like that the 16 center points are not sewn together with a giant knot of seams and I'll use the same technique if I ever do a center like that on something else. The last 1/4" of all the center seams are unsewn and when you press them they just swirl around the center.

And they don't come undone??

WOW... I am TRULY impressed. GREAT JOB!

No, the don't come undone. Either back stitch or, like on my machine, I do a Fix. You just don't sew into the seam allowance and that way all the pieces lay flat instead of 16 seams all meeting.

What a great trick!! I'll have to remember that. (Likely after I've sewn all the seams together and am frustrated with the bulk.) :lol:
