Postage stamp Quilt
1 Attachment(s)
It is no secret that my DH gets more sewing done than I do. Here is where his obsessive compulsive disorder kicks in! I do not have the patience to do this. But, didn't it turn out great? I'm proud of his accomplishments. I'm wondering how I'm going to quilt this one. Maybe with a large popcorn pantograph? What do you think?
|
Oh my gosh. The picture makes some of the blocks look wonky. But, they aren't. they are almost perfect match-ups.
|
Oh Lordy, I wouldn't have the patience for that either. Just thinking about matching all those seams makes my head swirl.
|
Whoa! What a wonderful job! I do see a curvy type quilting pattern, so the popcorn would be great. What size squares did he use?
|
Wow really near! What size is this?
|
He must have the patience of Job to cut and sew all those. Fabulous!
|
That is beautiful, you truly have a talented husband. it would take me for ever to do that and I don't think I would ever try. I love scrap quilts they are my favorite. Please let us see it after you have quilted it. Josie
|
Holy...!! That is just awesome! How about a simple panto pattern, maybe clam shells?
|
Wow, that's a lot of squares! I think a fairly open panto like the popcorn is the way to go. There are a lot of seams and anything too intricate is going to be difficult.
|
That is an amazing quilt. Love it!
|
wow, that's a lot of patience
|
Wow! look at all those itty bitty squares. Popcorn sounds good.
|
Wow, this is just amazing.

awesome quilt. I love scrappys and yours fits the bill.
very colorful and pretty |
I'm curious - did he sew this by hand or by machine? Either way, it's fabulous!

Love these PS quilts. I don't have the patience for all those little pieces, and I sure don't want to have to do all that pressing!! Great job though!
|
WOW! He did a wonderful job.
|
I love it and it looks great! :thumbup:
|
Another awesome quilt done by your DH. There is no way I'd even attempt something that intricate!!! You'll have to show us the finished project. Love seeing his work!!! :thumbup:
|
Oh my gosh! It is amazing that the colors blend so well and evenly across the quilt. I'd do an all over design, but on a smallish scale to go with the size of the blocks and use a mulit colored thread.
|
that is amazing quilt tell him to enter in a show!!!!
|
Just love this one
|
Since no one else has ask, I have got to throw the question out....how many pieces! I was trying to count the number across and got interrupted...not even going to seriously ask how many different fabrics. That would be almost impossible to know.
Anyway, what a fabulous quilt top. |
wow-he does have patience.those are so tiny-no way I would attempt that-not yet anyway.
|
Awesome. Do you know how many pieces are in it?
peace |
Stunning!!!
|
Beautiful. I was not given enough patience for that. He did a great job.
|
I love postage stamps. Great way to use up scraps...this one is wonderful!
|
OMG what a great job you did on all those little squares!
|
Love it, will be sending him more material next week.
|
You sure are kept busy with your quilting skills....fantastic quilt and any allover design you choose will look great!!
|
Awesome! The amount of thread alone, makes my mind boggle. Wow!
|
What a great quilt! He really does have patience. I have been working on a 2 1/2" square postage stamp or at least that is what I call it and don't know if it will ever get done.
|
Wow!! Does he know how many little squares there are? That is awesome!!
|
love it!! I want to make a postage stamp one day with my bits of scrap.
As for quilting ... how about "block work" :) :) :) Seriously, I think any all-over panto with curves will work. Baptist fan might be neat. |
OMG he must have the patience of 10 people! Great job!
|
WOW! I want to do one of these some day. Thinking I might get real bored with it though. How long did it take him to do this?
|
That's a lot of thread! Great job!
