I made this for a house warming gift for a friend....I messed up on the rick rack sections...they should have one more angle at the ends....I don't like it but I'm not redoing...I kno she will like it just the way it is. Now...I wish I could do some beautiful feathering on it!!!!

As Julia Childs said if there is noone in the kitchen with you while your cooking how do they know you made a mistake only you will know. Besides I like it and would be honored to receive it just like your friend will!!!

Thanks!

Lovely, just the way it is!

It's very nice! Why can't you do feathers? Just get an open feather template and follow the lines. That way there isn't any backtracking so no thread piling up. If I can do it, you can do it!

jodimae 09-08-2010 01:15 PM

What is an open feather template and where can I get one? I will surely give it a try. Can I use it on a quilt frame with a mid arm?

Great quilt! Nice work! :)

Joanie Owen 09-08-2010 01:21 PM

Looks great like it is and only you know how it should have been. She will love it.

Oh, this is beautiful! I don't understand what the "mistake" is. It looks exactly like rick wrack to me. Sure wish I had a home warming present like this. Lucky friend!!

SueDor 09-08-2010 01:36 PM

Very nicely done.

DoxieMom 09-08-2010 01:36 PM

The rick-rack is symmetrical from top to bottom and looks like you planned it. Very nice quilt and she will love it!

Please don't be so hard on yourself. Your friend will love the quilt and also the fact that you made it especially for her. It is beautiful!

Sadiemae 09-08-2010 02:19 PM

I would have never noticed if you had not told me.
It is a beautiful top!!!!
If you google feather quilting stencils you will find a bunch. You just need to look for what you want.

LeeAnn 09-08-2010 02:20 PM

I don't see a thing wrong with it. It looks lovely.

leatheflea 09-08-2010 02:28 PM

I love it just the way it is, especially your choice of colors.

Miss Patsy Jane 09-09-2010 01:27 PM

Jodiemae, your quilt looks really pretty. We are always more critical of ourselves than anyone else because we know the "mistake" is there! Your friend will love it.

jodimae 09-09-2010 02:13 PM

Thank you so much Miss Patsy...I know I am my worst critic!

madamekelly 09-09-2010 09:01 PM

I love it!

annieshane 09-09-2010 09:03 PM

If you don't tell anyone that you need one more angle, no one will every know. They will be way too busy admiring your beautiful quilt.

Babs194068 09-10-2010 03:02 AM

I think it looks great.

mame13 09-10-2010 04:37 AM
