This pattern as discussed on other thread was a nightmare to follow. I made the mistake of doing an extra border around my blocks. Then the cornerstones.... I won't do that again. Too difficult for me to figure out the compexities, but it turned out OK. Probably not the correct way, but it works.

Oh my that is gorgeous!! I love the border, then the sashing look!! Love the colors!!

|
Beautiful quilt. I think bordering the blocks, even if it was hard to do, is what makes the quilt.
|
Absolutely gorgeous job!!!
|
What an awesome, beautiful quilt. It is stunning !

What a work of art! Beautiful. I really like the little green posts in the sashing. It and the border makes it so rich!

that is beautiful!! It looks very complicated to me, I probably wouldn't even try it! You dshould be very proud!!
|
lots and lots of work for a beautiful quilt. It seems well worth it. Its so pretty to look at would love to have seen the original fabric. I am making a four patch two quilts from now. I have one other already cut out that has to be sewn, one that has to be quilted today but that four patch fabric is waiting in the sewing room RIGHT NOW saying cut me, cut me..
|
Sandy, that is beautiful! Love the colors.Sometimes it seems the more work that goes in them, the nicer they are.Yours is one of those WOW quilts.It all works together.
|
It's lovely. Were the blocks all cut from a single print fabric?
|
Gorgeous!
|

|
Works?!? Stop beating yourself up...it is gorgeous!!!! :-)
|

Oh it's beautiful hon. I did one and it's still not finished. but i really want to make another.
|
I posted this on another thread. My biggest problem was figuaring out how to get the fabric edge straight so pattern repeat can be cut. As far as the inner sashing I sewed cut border strips on each SIDE of the square and then sewed a peice cut the block measurement made of the outer sashing with a strip of the inner sashing on top and bottom to join squares together in strip. Then I followed pattern instructions on sewing cutting, and adding outer sashing with corner stones. I found it time consuming but I took my time to make sure I kept in the right order. There may be an easier way that an more experienced quilter can share with us. ( I only started quilting about 1 year ago)
|

|
The end result was worth it :!:
|

it's beautiful.

I have the pattern and started cutting but that is as far as I went. Maybe knowing others had trouble following pattern will help me and I know wheo to ask about the method. Lovely quilt by the way. Denise

Yours turned out great. I made one and your right the pattern left alot to be desired. I could hardly make heads or tails of it. However I looked at the pics and did it my way. Mine Looks like yours except for the different fabrics. I used oriental. don't give up you really did a wonderful job.
|
That is one beautiful quilt. You should be proud of it.
|
Gorgeous!
|
I have a picture of the original fabric somewhere, I'll look it up and post it. Fabric was stunning. I used it as the back of the quilt. And that added to the total cost. This quilt is a gift for dh's aunt. She loves sunflowers!
|
You can see a sample of the original fabric here: http://www.southseaimports.com/Image..._thumb_129.jpg
It's the largest sunflower print and I used the yellow on yellow for quilt border. |
Adding the sashings really sets the blocks apart and makes them shine. You did a great job!
|
Beautiful! I love the fabric chices all round.
|
That is a beautiful quilt. Good job.
|
Your quilt is gorgeous! How worth the time and grief you spent on it! I am sure you are relieved to be at this point finally.
