Very pretty, what a lucky bride/

sewcrafty 03-09-2011 03:16 AM

Absolutely beautiful!!!! Question though, I know what a pain satin can be sewing on, so here it is: How was it to quilt on?

Vickymomof6 03-09-2011 03:20 AM

Very nice! She will love it.

carolaug 03-09-2011 03:23 AM

Wow that is so nice!I also wonder how it was to sew. I have a black satin dress I am thinking of cutting up to make a wall quilt.

thequiltmama 03-09-2011 04:13 AM

wow, I loved them...but you must be brave, I am soooo scared to work with satin but I love the texture. Any advice on how to sew with it?? :)

laurlync 03-09-2011 04:16 AM

WOW! Those are wonderful. I couldn't imagine working with that much satin. You did an awesome job!

OMG - WOW!!!! I can't imagine how long that took and the patience you must have to have worked with that material!

PaperPrincess 03-09-2011 07:02 AM

Beautiful, just beautiful!!! Thanks for the additional pictures. I was wondering how you got the fabric going in different directions. Now I see that you wove the blocks. Super Idea!!

bailey 03-09-2011 07:27 AM

They are both spectacular quilts. I can only imagine the work you have put into them. They will be treasured.

I, too, would like to know any advice on quilting with satin. Do you use special needles? I made my mom a quilt with satin on the back and had a problem with it snagging....looked awful.

NO ONE AND I MEAN NO ONE WOULD SLEEP UNDER THAT!!! BEAUTIFUL!

Oh, your work is just amazing!!! Thanks so much for sharing the photos of how you did them!
These are simply fantastic, and I wondered how you got them assembled. You have much more patience than I do!!!
Beautiful just seems like an understatement! :thumbup:
