Today I finished piecing the top of my GFG quilt =D I am now in the process of preparing it to be quilted...by ahnd of course ;-D
The Last Stich [ATTACH=CONFIG]193706[/ATTACH] Finished Top [ATTACH=CONFIG]193707[/ATTACH] Attaching some Pellon [ATTACH=CONFIG]193708[/ATTACH] Back of Quilt [ATTACH=CONFIG]193711[/ATTACH] |
Very pretty....ok i have a question what is the pellon for ?
|
Some of my intersections were weak and close to the edge of pulling apart...this is to keep it strong and to keep the batting from bearding out too
|
Ah...well that's good to know....I never knew that
|
How big is your completed quilt ?
|
Oh my! What a labor of love.... GORGEOUS!
|
Gorgeous, Gorgeous, Gorgeous!!!!
|
It is really beautiful. But it is also lots of work, especially your hand sewing.
Enjoy it. |
Just Beautiful... I like the little tip on using the pellon for extra support of the seams.
|
I L_O_V_E the quilts. I am just starting out learning about the GMQ squares. This one is gorgeous.
|
I have enjoyed watching the progress on this quilt! It is really something- just beautiful!
|
What a beautiful quilt. I am just stating mine and have enjoyed watching yours progress. How long have you been working on your quilt? I will be at mine for a long time because I plan to do it while watching tv in the evening. It should keep me from wanting to snack which will help me not to get any heavier than I am now and maybe I could drop a few pounds.
Congratulations on a wonderful quilt and be sure to show us the finished product. Gail |
totally awesome, I love it.
|
Very pretty!
Nice job! |
Beautiful. Wizh I was brave enough to do this....someday
|
It is pretty. I see a lot of quilts and fabric with quarter on it. What is that for?
|
Just lovely and I too did not know of using pellon. :) I know you have a lot of work ahead of you yet with the hand quilting :) It will be a masterpiece once finished.
|
Your quilt is so very pretty. I am piecing a GFG, which is actually a UFO from many years ago. Hope I can keep it going this time.
Have you used pellon before? and do you think it will make it harder to quilt? I have found I have to watch those edges very carefully when I am first starting a new hex. They seems to scoot, so I have started pinning them in the center. Even then they tend to move. |

I have been working on this since September 2010. It started as a car project from scraps from my niece's quilt. I wanted to learn the process, but it grew and grew and then turned into what it is today. It then turned into a stuck-at-the-hospital on-call project. Then...I had emergency back surgery a few weeks ago and I was told to sit and don't move. I am more mobile now, but still being very careful!! I can't sit at my machine yet, but hoping to try that come Monday =D Now for the hand quilting on this project...

I decided to start the quilting tonight on my newly sandwiched quilt top =D I am going to do traditional quilting of the center and then some spirograph patterns over the flowers...

Really pretty! I agree, it is light and fresh. I like the contrast of the light pink with all the brights...
|
Wow that is excellent. You have more patience Thames me!
|
Simply Stunning!!! You have created a beautiful heirloom. I started one months ago and realized I don't have the patience to sit and do it for any great length of time so it is my Dr appt's project. Sometimes I can get 10-15 hexs done while waiting. Yes, it will take a long time at this rate but, it will be worth it. Yours is a great inspiration. thankyou for sharing.
|
Beautiful
|

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: |

I never thought of putting lightweight pellon on the back of the quilt. I think I'll do that for the one my mother hand pieced a zillion years ago to stabilize it. She has a few places that are weak and I have been afraid of it coming apart after I finish it. Thanks for the idea. |
I am working on a GFG, too. I have 84 flowers made. I keep wondering what type of batting to use. Did you use flannel? I am also worried about the binding. Have you decided how to do that yet? Interested in any info. I love making the flowers. It has almost become an addiction.
|
Awesome quilt!
|
Just love your quilt. Oh my, now I feel a GFG quilt comming on.
|
Your quilt is so pretty. The pink inbetween looks like bubbles. Very very nice.
|
Absolutely gorgeous!!! You must have the patience of a saint.
|
Oh, WOW, I love love love it. I really enjoyed watching your progress. Very impressed!
|
Congrats
