i'm working on this quilt, and to cover my bed i have to make extra squares.. i have used 9-10 different tone on tone creams & all scraps cut into 1 inch strips... i have found the leaders & enders (learned about those here, thank you, ladies) made a huge difference in getting those little bitty pieces thru the machine. i only have 37 of the shoo fly blocks & 25 of the double 9 patch... i work on it for a while, put it away, get it back out... lois @ my lqs said it's good to have a life's work. and all my girls have said this is the quilt they want when i'm gone. i did already get the batik fabric for the borders... Can't wait to see the black!! At first the small pieces were difficult to manage, especially the first two rows (of both the color strips and the DNP). Then I "discovered" starch and things went much smoother! So much so that I bought a gallon of MaryEllens (which I dilute!). |
This is going to be beautiful. Show us when you are done. Cheryl

I can't wait to see it finished. I know it's going to be awesome!
|
GREAT job!!! This is the next scrap quilt that I was planning on making too. (although my blocks will be a bit larger) I love your bright colors!

The bright colors are fantastic! This should turn out to be a beautiful Ohmigosh!!!
|
thanks for showing your WIP- I love your colors.
|
pretty colors. what is a wiprogress?
|
A few asked what the pattern name is. It's "Omigosh" by Susan Garman. And the finished size is 70" X 88" with two 1" and 1 3.5" borders - so it's a good sized quilt.

I think it is going to be totally awesome when completed. Looking good.

the 2000+ pieces sang to me.
Yep, that would be me. Have always liked little pieces in quilts. My first one was "The Blooming Nine Patch" and I have renamed it to "Blooming Idiot" for picking that for my first quilt. But, I sure learned at that time I couldn't sew a straight line. It had around 2300 pieces so by the time I was finished with the top, I was almost sewing a straight line. 5 1/2 later, it is on my longarm to be finished, after I finish organizing my quilt room. Hope to see it when it's done. katie |
Ohmigosh....is so right.....bet it will be a beauty
|
I should have known it was a Sue Garmen pattern. I subscribe to "The Quilt Show" with Alex Anderson and Ricki Tims and she always does the BOM every year and she seems to like small pieces. I am going to get that pattern. Thanks for letting us know what it is. katie
