This is a windmill quilt I mad for my grandbaby

Colorful! I like it!

That is sure to delight parents and baby!

Very nice! Peyton's gonna love it!

What gorgeous colours!!! I can't help but smile when I see it!! I never think to use a bright green. I have been teaching for 11 years now and I am still blown away every class by the colours my students choose. They are making an amazing quilt with me now on Monday nights, and I told them last week that of my years of teaching, this class has the most unbelieveable colours schemes for their quilts


Of the week I have been on this web site I am blown away by the talent everyone has here!! You have me sooo inspired that I don't want to be here at my office working but to be home sewing up a storm and creating such beautiful quilts!!! I have been keeping alist next to my computer here all week and adding more and more ideas.... geez who has time for work!!! LOL

Beautiful colors and construction! Lucky grandbaby. Congratulations!

Very nice and fun for a little one.

I love pin wheels.. Yours is beautiful and will be perfect with Peyton snuugled up in it :lol:

So pretty and colorful, Your grandbaby is gonna love it. Congrats Grandma!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You did a GREAT job!!! Baby will love focusing in all on those wonderful colors!!

Nice work.! I love the colors - it almost has a 30s sensibility, but a lot brighter.

This is great. So colorful. Good work.

That is so pretty. Pinwheels are so fun-looking on the quilt!

Lucky Grandbaby! :D

so cute I really like it, I love all the bright colors too... great job! :thumbup:

Beautiful quilt Grandma!

Putting sashing around the indivual blocks looks great. I'm sure the baby and her parents will be delighted.

I love that quilt yhat you made....what it the name and who has the pattern????

Love your colour combinations and it was great to see the pinwheels in a quilt!!

I agree with QuiltingAggie this site is tremendous for inspiration and encouragement.

I've been told that I have a reply on my request...but I don't know how to get it....I hope that you were able to help me with the beautiful pattern for the baby quilt....

Namal you pobably have to go to your private message site

There isn't a pattern. I goofed because I didn't acctually want the wheels to be that small, it took lots of quilting. I had some measuring to figure out the sizes of the pieces but if you put the pattern on graphing paper and then cut out the peices and add the 1/4 seam allowance it works.I use the graphed milar. Once you figure out the size you can use squares to cut in half and, then squares to cut in half and half again for the smaller triangles. Then I put the sashing around each square. I saw the lime in another baby quilt with pin wheels but they had flaps of material for the blades of the wheel and I didn't want that. Glad you like it.

THanks for the tip....I really don't know much about computers...I've recicve messages but they came to my email that I gave them....since I really don't know how to get them.....any help I can get I'll try to [email protected]

nanmal, at the top of the page you will see where it say "Private Messages" click on that and it will open.

Mary,
Thanks for the info....I did that and I have no messages....not even yours...I can't firgure out why?????

didn't send you a private, but did send to the yahoo addy

That is nice and colorful. Great pattern... Here are a couple of mine I just finished. Just the top on the blue one but the bunnies are done.

Looks like all those babies are going to be cozy in cuddly blankets

those are so sweet.... :D

When someone writes after you do on these messages they always send you a message. Doesn't have to be a private one. I added my baby quilts and if anyone after taht writes they tell me I have a message even if they weren't writing to me. Hope that helps.

Thanks everyone, glad you like them. Just hope their mother's like them. I'm sure they won't complain. I already delivered the teddy bear quilt and she loved it so that was a good feeling.

Got work to do today on binding a quilt. I'm taking it with me to England on Tuesday so I can give it to a friend over there so I have to get busy.

This is how it works.....

1. If you post a comment on any topic the quiltingboard will automatically notify you by email that another message has been added to that particular topic.

2. To access directly to that message you just click on the link in the text of the email.

3. You can choose to enable or disable this automatic service. Scroll down to the bottom of the topic page and at the bottom left of the screen you will see - unwatch this topic enable/disable etc. click on it to set or unset this facility.

4. To send someone a private message you must click on their individual name, on the left of the message they posted. Or by going to the member listing at the top of the screen and search through..quicker to look through the recent posts. This opens up their personal profile page and you will see bottom left a pm button, click on that and it opens up for you to send a private message.

5. If you are on the quiltingboard just reading through a number of topics, If you notice a window pop up on the right of your monitor screen saying you have received an email from the quilting board, instead of going back to your email inbox everytime, just go up to the top of the page then click on recent topics and the topic at the top of the page more than likely is the one that has the next message contained in it. Also check your private messages - if you have a message it will tell you new (1) message so you can see straight away if it contains any new messages.

6. You can utilise the refresh button which is the green one up arrow/one down arrow on the toolbar this will show all new topics and messages which have been received since you last opened that page. I do this all the time!!

I hope I have explained it clearly enough, its much simpler than it sounds here, if I can help anymore just shout!! :D

Izy

Glad to hear how to access the messages etc. I usually get the "a new message in such and such forum" and then go to the bottom of the page and click on the forum list to see what everyone has posted else where.THAT's where the trouble starts! :lol: With the slower dial up I can be on for a couple of hours just checking on what everyone has to show off or comment! (course don't want to miss a thing!) Lot of nights with 12:30 bed times! :lol: :lol:

That's way too late for me. I've been napping a lot of t he day away today. I was really tired. I got up at 6:00 to deliver a quilt and meet the lady half way. When I called her she'd forgotten and it was raining so hard she didn't think she could get out without getting stuck in (THE BOG) what ever that is. She must live by a creek. My morning seemed to be wasted until I decided to hem a couple pairs of jeans for my trip. I'm getting so excited about going but not getting much done. Tomorrow is church and dinner then I'll be binding my friends quilt or will be doing it on the plane on Tuesday. Will probably be too dark though flying over that Atlantic Ocean at night.

Very pretty! I like it

nice quilt.......
