From Don-isewman-A quilt I'll never do again
 

Here is a few pictures, of a quilt top. That I WILL NEVER DO AGAIN. The reason, Im giving, is your useing the same template over and over, etc, etc. All I can tell you is a lady at the inspirations quilt shop in Hills, Iowa. Came to our meeting last month, and passed out these plastic wedges, to everyone, at the meeting that night. I sat down, and started cutting out. I bet I have at least 100, that will never get used. I'll pass them on to somebody. As for a name for this quilt, I'll call it wedge quilt.[ATTACH=CONFIG]422224[/ATTACH]Here is the picture of the wedge.[ATTACH=CONFIG]422225[/ATTACH] Picture of the quilt, useing that wedge.[ATTACH=CONFIG]422226[/ATTACH]A close up view of the wedge pattern.

It is a lovely quilt and beautifully scrappy.

wow..I do like it. Why don't you sew the 100 you have together and use it on the back of the quilt.

I know what you mean about the repetition. But hang on to the leftovers, they might be used as a border on another quilt, or table runners or baby or doll quilts. Thanks for sharing all your beautiful quilts.

Very pretty! Love the border fabrics too.

It turned out great! Beautiful quilt!

Name it POINTS ON PARADE. I love it. Want to give your template away ? I would like to have it please. Hugs

nice quilt....

very pretty Don!

Nice way to use scraps, and it turned out great!!!

Very stunning and eye catching!!!

Love your quilt. I didn't make it to the meeting that they handed out the template, because our son was in intensive care for 14 days. Darn.

Turned out to be a very pretty quilt. I can only imagine cutting all those pieces with a template. That's not for me either.

Looks like the "tool" that comes with the Eleanor Burns Braid in a Day pattern. I loved making that one!

I give you a lot of credit for cutting 100 out. Your scrappy quilt is great! You are a patient man.

It looks really great. You always turn out a winner!

nicely done

I think your quilt is beautiful....I love scrappy quilts. You did a fantastic job. Hang onto your pieces you have cut out already....you might need to make a quick quilt and that would be a fabulous one to make.

Looks like what my mom called a "braid"quilt. Looks nice.

Beautiful quilt and colors.

It came out great!

great job. I have not made on yet but probably someday brave it

Great choice of colors!

Its beautiful and well worth all the work you did on it. I have seen other quilts with this design.

Really a pretty quilt!!!!

Don, I think your quilt turned out great !

Very nicely done. You always do such good work. Tks for sharing.

It is a very pretty quilt! Sorry it wasn't fun to make.

Lovely quilt.

Looks like a braid quilt, I think it is pretty

It's really cool though.

Nice quilt.

Fons and Porter just had a TV show on this quilt. It is on their website if you don't record them. It didn't seem to bad with their tutorial.

It's very pretty!! It doesn't look hard but there has to be a reason you won't do one again. What was difficult about it because I have never done one before??

Always beautiful, Don.

There's a much easier way to do a braid quilt. It doent use a template, which also keeps the diagonal edge from stretching as you sew. It looks like this link was posted here sometime back, but here it is again. Anytime I can do something WITHOUT a template, that's the way I do it! http://reannalilydesigns.com/2009/06...uilt-tutorial/

This is a lovely quilt. I really like your borders that pull the scrappy look together. peace

Nice quilt.

I think it's a very pretty quilt, despite using the same template over and over again - it would be the same if you made double wedding ring quilt and other quilts I can think of. You make up for the repetition by using a great variety of fabrics, which you did.

I'm with you on this! I did 3 double rows (wasn't using the straight seperation in between) and was going crazy! Absolutely hate constant repetition. One of my daughter's saved me by telling me STOP and put borders on and make two lap quilts instead of one larger. She got one of the halves and it looks great on her sofa. Relearned my lesson.
