When I started back to quilting I decided to make a wedding gift for a co-worker's wedding. I bought "The Rings That Bind" book and tool because I had seen a video demo and it looked not too hard to do. Hmmm...The pattern wasn't hard to follow, the problem came when I decided to try crazy quilt centers. How hard could that be?! I have learned that an ordered mind should not attempt a random pattern!! These made me crazy...literally. But I am so pleased with how it turned out I may attempt one for myself...later after the trauma wears off. :lol:

Thank you :) I should not have tried 2 new techniques at the same time. Truly though the crazy quilt centers gave me fits! I can't tell you the numer of times I ripped them apart. I almost totally admitted defeat but I was determined to be "random" lol When all was done though I really hated to give it away.
|
OMG that wedding gift will be the envy of everyone that see it :!: :!: It is bee-u-T-full :thumbup:

Swan Song you did a perfect job on that - I still have problems getting my points and all to match up and be perfect like your's. I guess it would help sewing straight lines, uh? My points in the center do not come out like that and neither does the points where they connect. Maybe I am just doing them too fast? I don't think I will try the crazy quilt thing for a while. I just love your's very much. :)
|
Joanie, when the points didn't meet perfectly I simply took a couple stitches point to point to pull them together. I hope that makes sense. The whole pattern is very forgiving that way. The second one has gone together a lot easier. It may be because I was not as stressed out over the centers. In hindsight I would have done something simpler to start with but I wanted it to look like a wedding keepsake incorporating the colors of her wedding. The crazy squares were the only way I could think of to do it without having it look disjointed. I really loved the end result and it was hard to give that one away. The bride was so excited when she saw it that it made all the work well worth it :)
|
That is just simply gorgeous!
|
It's beautiful!
