This one I can't seem to stay focused on. I have been literally working on this one for years. I have the stars quilted in the ditch so I really don't know what my problem is other than I am thinking I need to do fancy stitching; have been thinking about giving machine quilting a try, but my machine, a Singer, is over 30 years in age and I haven't been able to find a walking foot for it.
Please let me know your thoughts on the color combination. All input is truly appreciated. |
Beautiful quilt. Not sure what to say on the quilting, but it is beautiful and glad that you are getting it done!!!
|
That's really pretty!
I don't know about any other quilting on it. I like it the way it is. |
Ooooh la la...tres chic! Very pretty.
|
I love the colors and if it were me I would do stitch in the ditch the colors and stars are the focal point, the quilting is secondary in this quilt, your eyes are drawn to the quilt by the colors,it needs nothing else, beautiful.
|
Very nice. I like how the little nine patches go out towards the border.
|
I love the quilt, what ever you decide it will look great.
|
It is beautiful. Thanks for sharing this quilt with us. I love it.
|
It's a beautiful quilt!
|
Love the quilt - can't help you with quilting ideas, I'm still a SID quilter.
|
Great Job ! Love it :lol:

Your quilt is very interesting to look at.
It will be interesting to see how you finally decide to quilt it ... does your machine have the ability to do darning? That is the technique used for free motion quilting ... a walking foot for your machine would be determined by whether it is a high or low shank or slant shank ... |
It's really really pretty! Good job!
|
Your quilt is lovely. The only thing I can suggest is that you do some kind of chain or wavy pattern in the plain borders. It is always nice to have a curved element in such a geometric quilt. I usually take the quilt out of the frame, lay the quilt on a large flat surface like my ping pong table and do the last borders that way. A simple chain design goes very quickly. It will take you longer to mark it than do.
|
Beautiful job!!
|
Colour choice is absolutely gorgeous. Stitch-in-the-ditch for the stars is perfect, but, for the borders, a small crosshatch or close diagonal would be awesosome. If you mark it using one of the star points as reference, a diagonal line is very enchancing without taking away from your stars and gives you that old world flavour.
|
Gorgeous quilt........I love it :D
|
Very pretty I like it just like that.
|
That is a beautiful quilt. I would be in a hurry to have it done and displayed in a place of honor. If you have been hand quilting it thus far, I don't think I would add machine stitches. I love both, but not necessarily together. All the suggestions for finishing up the borders are good. Beautiful color selections!
|
thay is a beauty...get that puppy finished. LOL who am I to talk, I have so many still waiting to be finished. You are doing a lovely job on it! Thanks for sending the picture!
|
love your quilt great job !!!! keep up the good work
|
Your quilt is lovely and I agree more quilting will make you happier. It has been my experience that when you have an older singer or other types also you do not need a walking foot because the feed dogs are strong enough to pull your quilt through without having to have the top feed also. Make up a sample piece and give it a try but I think you will find it will quilt nicely without a walking foot and especiall if you take your foot off and use it bare needle you'll be able to do a great deal of patterns without turning your quilt all over the place. Be sure you keep your fingers out of the way.
|
It is a lovely piece! I like the blocks and the borders and how you did the corners!
Joeann, are you saying quilt with no foot on at all? |
sometime you make a quilt that just doesn't GRAB you like some of the others.
Don't give up hope on this one yet it might just turn out to be the best ever quilt you have made. Simple QID will look excellent sometimes less is more in quilting. Good luck I love the fabric choice as well scrummy. Loulou |
Thanks for the input - taking each suggestion and will try out the ideas.
|
Oh that is very nice!
|
Hi,
My name is Tammy Garcia. I just found this site and am already lovin it.. Your quilt is beautiful...I like the colors....very nice..... tammy g |
I love it! The colors are very nice.
I'll never quilt without a walking foot again! Have you tried a generic one for your machine? Here's a place I've purchased different accessories from in the past. If you email him, maybe he can assist you in finding one that will fit. http://sewingmachine221sale.bizland....ore/index.html Good luck! |
You are doing a real good job. Keep it up and we'll all be buying your patterns on line. JoeAnn

Love looking at all the wonderful quilts that get posted here.
I love the colors and the pattern of your quilt....... very nice quilt. Scrap |
i love your quilt would you mind sharing the pattern you used? or where you got the pattern?
|
I agree w/Huggy face AND Ms Speedy! If you use a very simple chain in the white outside border it would add some contrast and still show off your great color choices. :thumbup:
|
It's gorgeous.
|
The colors are perfect together. Looks great as is.
|
Penski - I am at work now, will look when I get home, I know it came from a book. Just have to remember which book!
|
Oh and is that okay or is that copyright infringement?
|
thank you i will be looking for it i dont think there is anything wrong about you letting me know the pattern or where you recieved the pattern

Penski,
It's from Marsha McCloskey's Quick Classic Quilts Four-Patches to Feathered Stars (happens to be quilt on the cover), published by Leisure Arts and Oxmoor House. It says in the inside cover, from the For the Love of Quilting series 1996. Mine is identical in form to the books, of course my fabric choices are different. The pattern is the LeMoyne Star directions start on page 126. Hope this helps you locate it and I appreciate the question. |
dear girl youv'e got a great quilt already you don't have to add fancy quilting to it it's already got enough on it :lol: :lol:
