Beautiful quilt and Beautiful quilting!!!! Maybe I like the back best! It looks like a white on white.
|
Beautiful quilt and quilting. I'm working on getting my blocks done but the quilting of mine won't be as nice because I do it myself but you gave me some ideas. Very nice.
|
So beautiful!!!! Be PROUD!!!!!
|
You both did a fantastic job. I'm still looking at the book wondering weather I want to start it or not, it is a beautiful quilt.

Beautiful- both the piecing and the quilting! The FWS is a really intense looking quilt. My Dh bought me the book for Christmas and I asked him what possessed him to buy this book? He replied that he thought the stories were interesting looking! I told him not to hold his breath waiting for me to make it!
When I started the FWS, I got excited with the completion of each block itself. It was fun just to do each one and for awhile I kept thinking .... a table topper, a wall hanging, a baby quilt, a lap quilt ... it grew and yes, I did the whole thing, plus a few extras! I really encourage you to do it ... each block is really not that hard to do. |
Absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!!!
|
I would use the back as a wholecloth quilt too...absolutely stunning...WOW
|
Both the quilt and your quilting are gorgeous! I love the colors and the back of the quilt is so great you could use it on either side!

Whew! I am physically and mentally exhausted after this one! My friend, Meg, pieced this FWS quilt. She is a fairly new quilter. She has only been quilting a couple of years and has tackled some seriously difficult quilts! This was her first attempt at paper piecing too. Due to a few issues, I had to quilt this fairly heavily, but all in all, Meg did a fantastic job on this. Those of you who have done a FWS know there are some wickedly tiny pieces in this quilt.
I quilted each block differently, hence my mental exhaustion. It takes a lot of standing and staring to come up with a different idea that compliments each block. while trying to keep the quilting density evenly distributed! Some blocks I took my cue from the fabric but most I tried to compliment the piecing. There is loads of ruler work, SID, and free hand fills and motifs on this quilt. I did a lot of continuous curves too. Not too much marking in the blocks but I did section off the border and mark my feather spine and the center line for the feather sprays in the setting triangles. All my work is hand guided, no computer. I quilt on an Innova 26" longarm. This was done with Superior Highlights thread on the top and Superior superbob, prewound bobbins in a light beige color. The batting is fairfield 80/20 [ATTACH=CONFIG]391158[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]391159[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]391160[/ATTACH] Here are some close ups of a few of my favorite blocks. [ATTACH=CONFIG]391161[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]391162[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]391163[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]391165[/ATTACH] And of course, the eye candy for LAQuilters the back.,, mmmmmm [ATTACH=CONFIG]391168[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]391173[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]391177[/ATTACH] |
For new quilters what a view of beautiful patterns to choose from. Beautiful!
|
Gorgeous quilt. Your workmanship, skill and talent are eye candy indeed.
|
OMG!!! stunning quilt and quilting
|
Beautiful quilt and the quilting is great too!
|
I think this is one of the most beautiful quilts I have seen of late. I saw blocks in the quilt I have never seen before and the colors are fantastic...the quilting is fabulous. This quilt is a work of art indeed! Thank you so much for sharing it.
|
Beautiful piecing and quilting!!! I would be proud to say I did either.
|
Absolutely beautiful quilting and the quilt is beautifully pieced too. What a lot of work went into that one! Wow!
|
This is a seriously amazing quilt, and your quilting adds the exquisite touch to the finishing! Wonderful work, both of you. Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring us all!
|
Looks great! Love the quilting! I also have a 26" Innova and love it. I hope to do as well as you after more practice.
|
WOW - what a great quilt and although I'm sure the quilting too some time - it is downright gorgeous. Maybe someday I can quilt that well, one can only hope. Beautiful quilt.
|
Amazing work. Just lovely.
|
So lovely! I collected all my fabrics for the FWS Quilt a while back. Was going to participate in making it with a group here on this board, but then my Mom got sick and all quilting plans went on hold. You've given me inspiration to pull all that stuff out and start again. Maybe this will be the first really big project I can finish this year!
|
How in the world do you decide on what to quilt in each block? Absoulutely fabulous!!!
|
When I see work like this, I wonder how on earth you can think and then accomplish such beauty. Awesome is a much over used word, but that is the word that fits this. Both your quilting and her piecing are outstanding. Thanks for sharing.
|
That is a beautiful quilt and beautiful quilting!!! Great jobs!!!
|
Great Job!
Now you can relax. |
Beautiful quilt and awesome quilting! Your feathered border is gorgeous!
|
Wow, you did outstanding work on that beautiful quilt!
|
Marvelous job. I can see why you found that exhausting.
|
I like the back as much as the front. Beautiful work by you both.
|
Love it!!! and so love that you posted a pic of the back. That is always my favorite to look at. I always am checking out the backs of quilts. ;)
|
That is truly a "labor of love". Gorgeous!!!!!
|
Between the two of you - you have created a real heirloom. Incredible quilting, and the colors in each of the blocks are great. Love those feathers, but the individual machine quilted blocks...words fail me. Wow!
|
OMG, the quilt is beautiful and your quilting is outstanding!! Can see why you are exhausted, it's a work of art.
|
You and your friend Meg created a stunning masterpiece! A FWS is a very challenging quilt, both for the piecer and the quilter. I was very intrigued to see how you handled the quilting and am super impressed! What you've done is a glorious accomplishment!
I'm gearing up to start a sampler wedding quilt and am blessed to be able to turn to a wonderful LAQer. When we put our heads together to figure out the quilting, your pictures of how you did it are going to be our inspiration! |
Amazing!!! I am really into bright colors and especially reproduction but your quilt makes me want to dig into my millennial stash and see if I have similar. Kudo's and I hope others will appreciate your fine workmanship.
|
Beautifully done piecing and quilting.
|
Gorgeous quilt and quilting!!
|
