I bought a kit for this quilt from Bonnie Blue at the Long Beach quilt show a little while back. I've been working on it for a couple of weeks, and just finished the top tonight (but not without having to fix a few blocks I somehow got turned wrong or something!) If you see anything out of place, please let me know before I layer it for hand quilting-- I'm so tired of looking at it I think I really can't see it anymore!

Oh WOW Harmony!!!! I love that!!! Excellent job!!! The colors are great!!! What is the kit called? I really, really love that!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Well duh!!! Looked back at the title and there it is!!! :roll:

Harmony that is really pretty....how big is this quilt???

Izy 09-19-2008 10:28 PM

I love the scrappy effect, its very effective, well done :D

Harmony 09-19-2008 10:33 PM

This quilt is about 64x64. If you look at the Bonnie Blue website you'll find the kit. I used Thangles to do all those triangles--they made it SO much easier! I know I want to hand quilt it, but I'm still pondering on exactly what I want to do. Any suggestions will be appreciated!!!

Harmony...for what it is worth...hand quilting would be lost in the busy-ness of the fabric...just my thought....

Thanks for your info on the quilt it is lovely

Very nice!

CindyBee 09-20-2008 01:50 AM

Outstanding job! I just adore it! I'm going to the website to check it out.

Very Nice, I love the country colors.

Janeen 09-20-2008 03:58 AM

that's fantastic!

but... sticking my nose in where it doesn't belong.... have you considered a border all around? Even a 4" border would make it big enough for a double bed throw and would 'frame in' the whole thing....

MOO and don't yell at me...

Wow!!!!!!!!! I really like this quilt. You did an outstanding job.

Love the quilt. Sorry no ideas on the quilting. I would stay away from "in the ditch" quilting - it will get lost in the fabric and hand quilting is so time consuming (and beautiful) that you want it to show. Maybe browse some online quilt stencil catalogs for inspiration.
What type of frame are you using to quilt?
Happy quilting,
Jo

I just love th quilt. Great job.

bj 09-20-2008 06:15 AM

Glorious quilt!!! I love stars!

Knot Sew 09-20-2008 06:21 AM

Outstanding, a border would give you more size unless you want it this size. Hand quilting is always good. I would use an all over simple design. :D

bearpaw 09-20-2008 06:45 AM

Love it, love it, love it!!!! Looks great!

Marcia 09-20-2008 07:17 AM

Harmony-What a spectacular quilt you have made!! I am so impressed with all the stars and points--you did a fabulous job!

sewjoyce 09-20-2008 07:21 AM

It's beautiful :!:

judee0624 09-20-2008 07:35 AM

:D :D :D Beautiful!! You did a great job.
I understand your getting sick of it. that's why I have several projects going at once so I can go to something else when I get tired of one. Keep up the great work!

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! Scrappy is my all time favorite look and this one is fabulous!

Craftybug 09-21-2008 06:56 AM

Harmony it is absolutely gorgeous. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

mrsj82 09-21-2008 07:01 AM

That is beautiful! and I agree with ^...a border would frame the whole thing and make it stand out a little...as well as make it big enough for a double bed. Just my two cents worth. If not then it's fine the way it is.

Simply gorgeous!

From Don-isewman1--. FANTASTIC QUILT.. I've sent a couple other messages, to a couple members.. And thought, I'd better send one more message..That quilt is beautiful..Do you do a lot of hand quilting..I took a picture of a quilt that I'm hand quilting on now.. Will post a picture of it this week..Got to have my youngest (computer whiz) son help me down load the disc for the printer, so I can make a copy on how to load pictures from the instruction given froom this sight.. Anyhow take care.. Don--isewman1

Love how the sides are done, beautiful work. Just bought some Thangles and am anxious to try them. Can't sew a straight seam :cry: and hope that they will help :roll:

I LOVE it!!! The fabrics and design are fabulous! Great job, Harmony. :thumbup:

joy 09-22-2008 01:32 AM

Great quilt... it could do with two borders, a narrow one then a wider one.... as for quilting it, stippling always looks nice.... you have done a wonderful job !!!

reneebobby 09-22-2008 02:47 AM

Cordelia 09-22-2008 06:35 AM

I agree, handquilting will be lost in this busy pattern.... Consider another type of quilting. Just my thoughts

Oh my goodness. All those half square triangles. I don't think I could do that many.

The quilt is magnificant!!

That is an amazing quilt. I can't find anything wrong with it, but apart from a magnifying glass wouldn'tknow where to start to look
