Tis me the alien clone Ruth Camp...steph ....i took that apart so many times and it might not be quite square :roll: so feel free :wink:

Omak Some of the fabric i got for yours has red so I will wash,,,curious to see if it bleeds....I seldom wash fabric either. I only get to add 3 inches gee...the next one is not for 2 months? Ok I will work on this soon anyway before the fabric gets buried :D

omak 10-26-2009 06:52 AM

WIth all the technology around today, I don't worry about pre-washing ... plus, most quilts never see a washing machine (people being too afraid of wrecking something) so, I am thinking ... I will just send a box of color magnets when I pass them on to their final destination ...
And, knot-sew, having said all of that, I know that quilters must do what they feel led to do ... and, some of us have got to abide by their desires <g> ...

Sorry i'm running befind, my center block will go out in the mail in the
morning. Thanks for the understanding, the retreat is over the store is
set for the fall. Just one more setting for Christamas and open house
next week. But I don't do a lot of Christmas so it should go quickly.
I do most of my quilting in the winter months. Looking forward to seeing
what everyone is doing. This is my second RR and the first was a lot of fun.


Thanks
Dee

You are all very quiet in this group, but lovely centres, your Mama is out of town. Hope everyone has got their centres from their partner.

I received Omak's center from knotsew all ready for Round 2!

Here is what omak's center looks like with knotsew's 1st border...

looks great!

omak 11-19-2009 01:46 PM

oh, WOW!
That red couldn't have been easy to match, but just look at how that border makes the red, white, and blue of the center actually GLOW!
It is beautiful!
Thank you, Knot Sew <wave>

Knot Sew 11-19-2009 02:53 PM

I went to three fabric stores, to match it and find a good quality solid color...most solid fabric is thin. I took your center with me and spent 4 hours... now i'm ready for the next one :D
Well folks its started and it already seems to make time fly :P

omak 11-19-2009 03:58 PM

FOUR HOURS???
Oh, that is above and beyond the call of duty! :!: :!:
But, it sure looks sharp!

Esqmommy 11-19-2009 06:19 PM

Very nice borders on that one Ruth - Omak, I'm sure you're very pleased! What a great tribute to America (I'm assuming on that one!)

Yeah :oops: I am thinking ... all Americana blocks all over the place, the more the better! And, as I am fond of saying: America is so much because we have so many resources ... if you see something that makes you think AMERICA! It needs to be in there! LOL
If every side on every round were a different block, I would be really pleased &lt;g&gt; but, that is probably just my "scrappy" quilt side speaking ... sort of like that "blue" side ... you can sell me into anything if you color it blue! LOL

mamatobugboo 11-20-2009 12:12 PM

i have some great fabric that I think will look wonder with that!

omak 11-20-2009 12:34 PM

I have very quickly gone through all of the IRR threads this morning. What Beautiful work is being done here. We should all be very proud of ourselves. Great job ladies.

Oh, wow! Great job matching that fabric! Really looks great with the buck.

omak 11-27-2009 08:01 PM

It helped, that when I went shopping at the LQS, I saw the same center hanging up on the wall ... I couldn't figure out how to open up the center, so I am hoping that the leaves in the corner will open the center up for the next quilter.

sew cornie 11-27-2009 08:02 PM

beautiful, Omak! looks like your fabrics were made just to be with that center.

Janstar 11-27-2009 08:08 PM

Looks great Omak!

Knot Sew 11-29-2009 06:07 AM

Very nice...going to be a real beauty

k3n 11-30-2009 01:37 AM

Omak that is perfect - the border echoes the stag's antlers and the corner blocks pull out the leaves of the tree. Great job. :D

Knot Sew 11-30-2009 03:19 PM

I think it comes to me?.....ahhhhhh I see a shopping trip in my future :-D

omak 12-02-2009 04:56 PM

I mailed out the center + first border today <wave>

Could be, but at least we can find our pictures REALLY easily!
I had a rude awakening today when I realized that I have to find the picture of the quilt coming to me so I can start conditioning my head to actually have a plan before it gets here! <g> It is a control issue ...
