Here my newest quilt-isewman
4 Attachment(s)
Here is my quilt, I finished today. At 3:30pm. The pattern is called Providence Star. I got it from the quilters newsletter mag. Have any of you quilter ever make a quilt, and call it my(your) biggest mistake. I'm calling mine the biggest mistake ever. Here's a couple reasons. Had a little(a lot) of the seams not lining up. (2) I run out of the black/red print fabric. (3)So I did 8 blocks useing the brown print.(4) When i sewed the blocks together. I dont know why I didn't sew the black print with the black print. I lost train of thought and sewed the black blocks with the brown blocks. Instead of black to black and brown to brown. I probably give a couple more mistake. It more or less is ok. But my conscience isn't quit settled(ha-ha) yet. Anyhow everyone take care. Don-isewman[ATTACH=CONFIG]560327[/ATTACH]1 more thing I did this quilt on point. And also THANK YOU to the members who help me find info on sewing quilt blocks on point.[ATTACH=CONFIG]560329[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]560330[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]560328[/ATTACH]

Looks good to me Don !!!
|
Looks great to me.
|
I think it looks great and had you not mentioned running out of fabric I would have thought the change in fabric was intentional. I quite like it.
|
Only you know those are boo-boos Don. To the rest of us, it looks like creative licence! Beautiful quilt!
|
I think it looks great. An artist is always critical of his own work.
|
Even though you had to substitute fabric, the values look the same so it works. Great top!
|
I like it a lot, too! I think you are the only one who notices anything "wrong" with the black to brown placement. Looks very intentional and it works!
|
It's beautiful... nothing 'wrong', just some scrappy artistic license! You see this in vintage quilts all the time, so yours looks authentic.
On Point settings make me lose my mind! I get so confused. You did really well with this. Love it. |
Looks very nice!
|
Looks wonderful! We are our own worst critics!
|
nicely done
|
I like it! The pattern really works with your colors!
|
Looks great to me!
|
Wow, that looks like a complicated pattern! Congrats on a job well done!!
|
looks great to me. as always, your work is beautiful, and i look forward to seeing more of your work.
|
Really like your border treatment with the openings -- think you'll see that there will be some copy cats with your idea!
|
I think it works! Turned out great in spite of all the difficulties.
|
As with all your quilts, this one is super. BrendaK
|
Lots of work in this beauty...Congratulations for finishing it.
Most people would have left it for someone else to finish....Way to go... |
Don, you are always your worst critic. I love it.
|
Wowzer's Don another quilt that you have hit out of the park! I know unaligned intersections drive me bonkers too, don't ask how many blocks I've taken apart.... however I've never had a recipient of a quilt say, "Nice quilt only wish all the intersections aligned perfectly."
I agree with other comments, 'We are our own worst critics.' Again, very nicely done Don thank-you for sharing. |
I know how you feel but the quilt looks good.
|
a very nice job, Don!!!
|
Don, another beautiful quilt!!!!
|
Hey, Don, I wish my mistakes looked as good as yours! Seriously, though, that quilt is just the "bee's knees." Whoever gets it is going to love it and not be looking for "mistakes." Your work, as always, is great!
|
Enjoyed the pictures Don. Nicely done.
|
It looks fine, Don. We are our own worst critics.
|
You are amazing! lovely quilt. All those points!

You did a great job with a very tricky pattern. Looks like some of those seams were not meant to meet up...your color blending is superb...that's quite a talent..gives the finished piece an interesting twist.......
|
Great job using your creative license!
|
Mistake?? What mistake? It looks intentionally to me and very nicely done!
|
as usual....very nice!!!
|
don't be so hard on yourself Don, I think it looks beautiful
|
Love the way it looks,
|
It looks wonderful to me Don. You did a great job so don't beat yourself up over a little ol'mistake. Remember-we all make mistakes in making our quilts so just enjoy what you have accomplished and it is beautiful.
|
Don, it's perfect! Reminds me of some of the quilts my Grandma made, fabric used was whatever she had and "substitute" fabric was the norm. I have to say, Don, you are my inspiration! I've been coming to the board since 2013 and I always love to see a new post from you. I look forward for your next creation. Thanks
|
Well, I think it's a gorgeous quilt. Isn't it amazing that when we make a quilt, we have been up close and personal with for some time; but nobody else can spot our mistakes but us? Don't worry, it's beautiful.
|
Great job Don and congrats on trying a new challenge
