Minnesota Quilt
 

Here's my first Minnesota fabric quilt (kit from 2012). Bought this kit last year while up north. Pattern is "Fiddle Sticks" purchased from Front Porch Quilts in Walker MN. Visit them if you get the chance. Great little shop! I have lots to improve on but am encouraged with progress on some techniques. This turned out very close to what the finished size is supposed to be (ha ha). My 1/4" seam is not always fool proof but is getting better. I tried fmq (made the mistake of starting with wax paper instead of freezer paper) and that lesson I'll always remember. Trust me, freezer paper works a lot better than wax paper! How do you fmq on busy fabric and know where your at? Would love to free lance without following a traced line on freezer paper but tend to get lost along the way. Hope I get better at it soon.

nicely done

Very nice job....

Great job! I really like it!! I saw that fabric last year, and my friend urged me to buy it....but I didn't!

I like what you did, I have never seen any thing like it before, thank you for sharing with us. I think you did a wonderful job.

What a fun quilt! It looks great!

Very nice job on it.

Nicely done.

Your MN Quilt is Beautiful!!! I was just at the Front Porch in Walker this weekend!! I'm from Walker and Your Correct it is a Lovely Shop.
I love your FMQ you will only get better if you practice and you've made it your Own. Great Job

Awwwww....your quilt made this Minnesota girl homesick! I grew up near the Twin Cities and left home in the 80's. I smiled when as I read "while up north"...the summers we had "up north"!! Great job and a great treasure!!!!!!!!

Great job!

Very pretty. I agree sometimes, especially at night, it is hard to see where to go on busy quilt fabrics. Great job.

To see where you are quilting on a busy fabric, put some tissue paper over the quilt and quilt on it. It tears off easily when you are done.

I think it is AWESOME!!!! Wonder if they have it for every state? would like to do one for Louisiana!!!! Thanks for sharing!

very nice job!!!!

beautiful!! great!!

Just love the quilt, great job and thank you for sharing and the colors
Have a Blessed day

very nice job

Great job on the quilt, Mavis! I thought last year's fabric was really terrific. I like the quilting done in the border, too.

Saw this new Minnesota fabric in a Fons and Porter ad. It reminded me of your quilt.

Silvia, this is this year's fabric for the state-wide shop hop in Aug. It won't be available until the first day of the hop. Nearly all of the shops in the state participates in the 2 week event. There are actually some people who finish the whole state! I'm not one of them.

I was told to use a thread that shows up

very pretty ... love the fabric ...you did a great job

I agree with Pauline it looks great.
