Grandmothers fan-quilted by myself on long arm
 

Not too long ago, I found grandmother fan pieces at a rummage sale for $5. I placed them on muslin and pieced them together. I finally got my long arm and just got it quilted and bound yesterday. I am practicing on my feathers and also my straight edge quilting. I think it turned out pretty well. When you go to rummage sales, you will be surprised at the little treasures you may find. These granny fans were in a ziplock.....I have some black ones that I bought for $5 also, just haven't got them made yet.

Ooooh pretty!

Very pretty ~ you did a great job with that!

Thank you, I have been mid arming for about a year, but the long arm is so much easier.....LOVE IT!!!! Don't have to move it as much as I used to.....

Love your "found" blocks and what you did with them. Your quilting really showcases this beautiful quilt:)

Your feathers are just beautiful.

Beautiful, you did a great job finding a layout for them.

You would not believe how long it took me to figure out a layout. I was web surfing for any grandmother fan layout, because there were only so many of the fans, and I couldn't replace any of the fabric. I believe most of them were from the 60s. Anyway, thank you so much. I love that particular layout, I just wish I could have had some for the corners.

Stunning!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice and the quilting looks great from here!

That is beautiful. Love the quilting also.

Beautiful new creations! The long arm sure suits you!
