Some of you have already seen portions of this one as I got stuck on what pattern to quilt on the braid. I finally settled on something fairly simple...a leaf. I think it worked out ok. You can tell that I'm still learning.

There is no pattern as it is an IRR quilt and 5 ladies participated in the making of it. I quilted it on my Bernina 200 E (a standard DSM). Now...its off to pull another unfinished IRR off of that stack :wink:

IT MAY HAVE TAKEN YOU A LONG TIME,BUT IT IS JUST BEAUTIFUL THANKS FOR SHARING

WOW, that is absolutely gorgeous. I've done a row by row and we passed our fabric along with the quilt. Did you? Yours turned out just amazing:)

This is very beautiful. I wish there was a glossary on this board for all the initials for the various quilts and techniques. I have know idea what IRR means but it is sure pretty.

I love it! What a beautiful quilt!

RobertaMarie 07-31-2011 02:32 PM

Patti explains here what an IRR is.

Then it was circulated to a group of 4 other women (some overseas, hence the "international") and they each added a border in a specified width before mailing it to the next person on the list. The quilt comes back to the original center maker at the end and you end up with a gorgeous quilt like this one! I was in a wonderful group for this one as you can tell from the results. They all did beautiful work!

In addition to what she said, and to answer the questions someone asked a bit back, each person in the group makes a center and every person in the group puts a border on each center.
