I am slowly (but surely), working my way through getting all of my father's siblings a quilt. Here is a wall hanging kit that was purchased by a friend because she liked the fabric, but after looking at the instructions decided against it. I have added a few more borders and extended it to a queen-sized.

Not really, it was one of the easier ones I've done. ;)

I think I would have bought that kit because of the fabric, too. It looks like the quilt was fun to put together.

Beautiful

Will keep watching for reply. I would also love to have some of the border if it is a fabric. If you appliqued the Indian ladies, about how big did you make them?

Beautiful work. Love the colors!

Beautiful southwest colors in this quilt and I hope auntie appreciates all that hard work.

Motorcyclemad 04-19-2011 05:20 AM

It is pre-printed fabric. I don't know the manufacturer. The kit was the last one in my LQS. I haven't seen it again since my friend bought the kit.

LAB55 04-19-2011 05:22 AM

Beautiful !! :-D

Very beautiful quilt!

Mcmad, that is beautiful, and your extra borders look like they were made for it!

Do you know the name of the pattern? My friend asked for a wallhanging in those exact colors!

brendadawg 04-19-2011 07:52 AM

I love it. The colors are beautiful, some of my favs.

lbc 04-19-2011 09:08 AM

Great quilt. I love your colors and really like the border.

6 or 7... :? There may be one over in Arkansas, but I don't have an address, and I am not sure she is still alive, but the others have gotten theirs (minus the youngest). It is being quilted now. Hopefully, I can get it in the mail to him by Monday.

I don't know the name of the pattern, but the center was 2-1/2" strips (12 or 14-wof) sewn into a tube and cut into 4-1/2" widths. Cut the seam between the 1st and last print (1st strip), cut in middle of 1 print (2nd strip), cut the seam between the 1st and 2nd print (3rd strip), and so-on. The strips are sewn together all the way across). I was thinking of doing a zig-zag for the next one of these that I try.

Madeline, thanks for explaining. I drew a diagram and now I think I get it! Can't wait to try this technique. Nicky
