This for my dad I haven't even thought about quilting it. Actually I have thought about quilting....about sending it out to be quilted. lol It is suposed to be for fathers day and my sister said if I wanted to get it quilted she and my brother would split the cost. WOOHOOO I couldn't get the whole thing in frame without standing on a step ladder. maybe later when my husband can bring it in!

It finshed 100x100

Beautiful! Nice curves. I haven't gotten triangles tied down. Curves aren't even on my radar yet! :oops:

Nice job!

Beautiful quilt. I say go for the offer to send it out to be quilted. Recently had one done - my first to be sent out - and I noticed a great sense of relief on the way home from dropping it off. Usually I dread the quilting part.

Donna Mare 05-09-2011 02:39 PM

Very sharp quilt. Great work

Thank you all for the sweet comments.

I wanted to say that I did not sew any curved seams at ALL on this quilt. I cheated. lol I cut 5 1/2 inch squares of the red fabric, then I cut 5 1/2 inch squares each of the green, blue, brown, and yellow. Then I used a circle cutter and cut the green, blue, brown, and yellow squares into the convex and concave pieces (two blocks could be made with each of these squares). Then I laid the convex and concave pieces on top of the red square and pinned it down then I just machine appliqued them on. then I cut the extra fabric from the back of the block. It was SUPER easy.
