A few months ago, I asked a question regarding marking quilts. I had used a pencil to mark, and then changed my mind. After much help and advice from many of you, I decided to finish my wallhanging. I call it "Learning Lessons", because I learned to never mark my quilt til I'm sure of the design, and never use a pencil except to write notes to myself. Anyway, here's the finished product, it will hang in my sewing room to remind me of lessons learned.

Nicely done!!!! and aren't lessons fun to learn as you go? LOL I've learned very many from message boards!!!

don't see no runaway pencil lines. don't see no overdone quilting. don't see nuthin' 'cept one good lookin' quilt.

i believe that entitles a whole bunch of us to say - TOLD YOU SO!!!

we knew from the start it was going to end up wonderfully. so, picture us sipping our smug mugs of coffee and giggling.

Hi Julie i think your wallhanging is very pretty i love the colors. Keep quilting

thank you all so much for your kind words. Your help and thoughtfulness inspire me to keep quilting. I'm so glad to be a part of this message board, where I know I will get the help and the laughter I need.

Hi: Great job! Noticed your remark regarding using pencils for marking. I found pencil lead that can be used in any standard .5mm mechanical pencil called Ultimate Marking Pencil for Quilters & Crafters. This is supposed to never smear, fit stencil openings and it washes out. Unfortunately, I can't remember where I bought it and the packet doesn't give any info about the manufacturer. Can't wait to try it out

Nice!

It is a bit hard to tell from the picture, but it looks like you hand quilted it. I always use the air soluble marking pens when I an hand quilting, They work well for me.

What a great quilt and I love the name and story behind it!

Great JOb!!!! I think it looks GREAT.. and a quilt you will always look at and remember the "lessons learned"!

That's a great wallhanging! You did a wonderful job on it and I love the quilting. Very nice!

Great job Julie, thanks for sharing with us! I have learned from my own experiences that the project I had alot of trouble and problems with usually turns out to be one of my favorites!

That's a pretty quilt, and it's great you were able to turn to our quilting family for help!

I think it looks great. How big is it?

I can't say enough nice things about it--your piecing looks great, the colors are lovely and your quilting--well, its a good thing I just saw it on the 'puter, otherwise, there would be drool marks all ove it too. Such a nice project :!: :thumbup: It would make a nice project to hang on my wall in case you want to send it to some worthy person. :lol:

Nice Work!!!
I love the name and the reason behind it. :D :D :D

Your block looks really great. I use the blue pens that are water soluble. Just DON'T IRON it until you're certain all the blue is out.

very pretty quilt........
