at first I made LOTS OF plans: tried to draw a design on paper, threw it away b/c I didn't like the design any more AND found it difficult to keep the paper in place and sew on it. Then draw a design on Press 'n Seal and sew on it. Technically it worked, but I didn't like it so much. After all, I roughly divided the quilt into four sections, marked those with pins and started from one edge and made my way to the pins. After having finished the first quarter, I turned the quilt and started from the next edge. I don't think in things quilting one can come up with a totally new design of ones own. That's like reinventing the totally new own wheel to me ;-). I somewhere saw a pattern called Clamshell and modified it a bit, making my arcs more like bows or teardrops. This made it easier to connect the four quarters of the quilting. My vote: Just go for it, and don't sweat it too much. Guess how I know ;-). Clear like mud? If not, please don't hesitate to ask, I'll give my best to answer and describe what I've done. Go girl, you can do it! Anne |

After looking at it for a few days, I disliked the color combo more and more. Unfortunately, this required a trip to my LQS, but sometimes you just have to make some sacrifices, don't you :wink: . This was my second attempt at FMQ with my domestic sewing machine, so please don't look too closely. Still need a name for it. Any ideas would be appreciated. I thought something like Box Of Jewels, but not sure about it yet. Thank you for looking, Anne Your quilt is lovely by the way, and I agree these colors are better. |
I think it's beautiful!
|
great job and such pretty colors
|
That is beautiful! I love Box of Jewels for its name.
|
Great quilt and your quilting is wonderful! Keep up the good work!
|
I really like the colors you used, and the fmq is great!! I have yet, to try it, but hope too soon.
I think anything with the word jewels for the name would be perfect! |
Good job!!
|
