IBQUILTIN 08-26-2010 02:56 PM

If you were being shy about posting that gorgeous quilt, maybe I should not ever post the ones I finally get done.

Your quilt is beautiful. And fun! You never need to feel intimated by this crew :P

Farmer Girl 08-26-2010 03:48 PM

Wha-a-a-t????? That is a gorgeous looking quilt! Great work and by the way, love the backing, too.

dsb38327 08-26-2010 03:53 PM

Why are we so hard on ourselves? Carol, I am so glad you said you "felt you didn't fit in" so we can alllll tell you that you DO Fit In PERFECTLY!!!!!!! Your work is excellent and look at that long arm. Wow! You did the applique? And the stitching? And the quilting. Thank you for sharing with us. Love what I can see of your sewing room. So large and so bright.
((And the baby in your avatar looks sooo sweet.))

For some reason it just doesn't bother me to show the mistakes as well as the accomplishments. The bargello I am making now has given me a lot of humility. I have 20 something rip out hours in, some beards on the back side seams, it may not be square on one corner, there are some skip stitches in the quilting seams,
And when it is finished I am going to show it with pride because I feel like there are 100's of us who have finished a quilt with imperfections and it makes us all feel better to know not everyones work turns out perfect every time. (I am still striving for my first time and I learn something on each quilt.)
I do feel surrounded by people who care about the things we post. I love the Quiltingboard.

Caroltee 08-26-2010 04:39 PM

Maybe I said it wrong. Its not that I don't fit in Its just that I think maybe we have a tendency to judge our own work harder and we see our faults where as other only see the one side . The side we want them to see.

PennyLynn 08-26-2010 04:51 PM

You fit like a glove! It's a great quilt.

hikingquilter 08-26-2010 04:55 PM

What a beautiful quilt! I love the color combination.

Grammy o'5 08-26-2010 05:01 PM

I don't know what you were worried about! That looks fantastic to me! And a cool long arm to boot! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Sheila Elaine 08-26-2010 05:01 PM

This is a beautiful quilt. Please show us your other ones too. How big is this & how old is your G-son? He's sure a lucky fellow to have a G-ma who loves him so much.

quilter2 08-26-2010 05:06 PM

How could you say that? Your quilt is beautiful, pattern, colors and quilting. Mine looks sick compared to your work. Show us more.

gramqlts 08-26-2010 05:46 PM

Your quilt is beautiful and what a great job quilting it. Your grandson will truly love it as we all do! Good work!

LeeAnn 08-26-2010 06:13 PM

Wow! That is a beautiful quilt! Don't be shy, we want to see more of your work.

tcnmom 08-26-2010 06:46 PM
