Grandma's Strippin'
 
2 Attachment(s)
​Here are a couple of pictures of a quilt I just finished and my first attempt at hand quilting and second attempt at piecing a larger sized project. I hand quilted around the hand appliquéd parts and then in some of the empty spaces in and around the corners. I machine quilted the rest of it, which I know I probably should not have done, but didn't think I would have the patience to hand quilt the whole thing especially this being my first one. The fabric is Eleanor Burns "Ellie Ann" and the pattern is called Grandma's Strippin'. It was a fun project.

Your quilt is just beautiful!! You did a great job!!

I really like it! Did you go to one of Eleanor's classes? I think she was teaching it at a quilt show outside Seattle last winter. Sounded like lots of fun! I love the back, too, and the prairie points!

Beautiful quilt, quilting and colors. Quilting is entirely up to the owner of the quilt.

Beautiful quilt.

KSellers 08-29-2014 01:46 PM

I think because of the way you machine quilted this, it is beautiful. I would never have noticed the machine/hand quilting, or thought anything was not perfect. It's a gorgeous quilt!

KSue 08-29-2014 01:54 PM

This is a beautiful quilt. I love it.

Barb in Louisiana 08-29-2014 02:30 PM

Great quilt. I love it. And as for hand quilting....that is not in my vocabulary. I want my quilts to be used and machine stitching is so much more secure and durable or at least it seems like it to me.

Lovely quilt. Wonderful fabrics and colors. Especially nice applique and prairie points.

redquilter 08-29-2014 03:29 PM

I've hand and machine quilted in the same quilt a few times; and it never has occurred to me to worry about whether I *should* have or not. :D What do I care what "others" think of MY quilt?!! :thumbup:

Great quilt, I love the colors.

I think your quilt is beautiful and the combination of hand and machine quilting is totally acceptable. Hey, your quilt your way. Right? I may use that method myself in the future.
