Here is a over-sized "queen" quilt that I made for my DS for Christmas 2010. It was fun to make and relativlely easy. It just takes nerve to cut your quilt apart and then reassemble.

From the pattern Straight to the Point Series

I like it. What do you mean about taking your quilt and cutting it apart and then reassembling it?

bisseau 06-19-2011 08:59 AM

That's quite lovely....great colors!

BeckyL 06-19-2011 09:03 AM

You make the entie quilt by sewing straight rows, there are no on-point settings, no diagonal rows, no setting triangles. After you have the entire quilt sewn together in straight rows you cut it apart (2 cuts) and then reassemble. That creates the on-point settings and the setting triangles. It is a very attractive quilt before cutting, so it takes nerve to make those cuts. Fun though. There are only 3 simple blocks in the entire quilt.

Your colors are fantastic, great job!

Thanks for the explanation, I just went on line and bought the pattern. After viewing the demo, I understand how hard it would be to cut it after having made such a lovely quilt. I appreciate the info.

Be sure to post a picture of your quilt after you finish and let me know if you enjoy making it. It went together really fast.

Fabulous quilt with striking colors. Don't know if I could have cut it though the result was wonderful.

Thanks for all of your kind words. I took my first quilting class in January 2009 and didn't even know enough to take a sewing machine to that first class. I have been addicted ever since. I've learned a lot, but have so much more to learn. I wish I had started younger, but life was busy and I didn't (probably couldn't have afforded to earlier either). Quilting is giving me great pleasure now though.

Joanie2 06-19-2011 01:19 PM

I love the colors as well. Kind of reminds me of a field of pansys.

GAgal 06-19-2011 03:26 PM

You certainly are gifted at picking fabrics. The quilt is beautiful!
