Quilting Turtle....Thank you...


tlrnhi...sorry this one is spoken for.. :(

KO24....I made up the pattern... sashing is 1" light brown and white is 1 1/2" ...the corner stone is 2 1/2" .....the stars are half blocks 4 1/2" I might have started out with 5" blocks on the half blocks and cut them down don't remember :roll:

Thank you....

What a lovely colorful quilt. Your Dad is going to love it. I love stars!

DA Mayer 07-10-2008 07:48 AM

You may be seeing stars and I see the beautiful work you do, what a nice way to highlight everything with that unique sashing. WOW

Love the bright colors. That star is my favorite, go-to block when I need something quick! I use it in baby quilts a lot.

barnbum 07-10-2008 11:29 AM

Wow--how you ever got that lattice to work is waaay beyond me...amazing. You sew with such precision--awesome.

:D

gcathie 07-10-2008 02:26 PM

Karla..Thank you you do some pretty great work yourself :D

Loretta... :oops: Thanks ...these went that hard since they where half blocks...just I did some many...I got burned out...but now okay.. :shock:

bj... :wink: oh that would be pretty in a baby quilt thanks for the idea :D

Karenmay...Thank You :D

DA Mayer...Thank You and I see how you step out of the box and do something different ....maybe someday I'll get brave and follow suit. :wink:

annmarie...I sent Dad a photo...maybe they'll come down and get it...that would be nice...he might be sick of these stars too....hummm :lol:

The color combinations give it a lot of movement. Good job!

jbsstrawberry 07-10-2008 04:00 PM

Just beautiful! I just can't get over how great your points and precision are!! You ROCK kiddo!! AWESOME job!!!

johnette 07-10-2008 04:19 PM

I love the contrast in your stars. It is absolutely the bomb. I hope my stars will turn out as well as yours. May take me two years to finish it. LOL
ps- are you going to machine or hand quilt it?

Cordelia 07-10-2008 04:51 PM

Oh, MAN! I'm so jealous of your PERFECT beautiful quilts! You just crank them out! I wish I lived near you. I'd be hanging around just watching all the time.

I love this one. I hope you give it to some lucky family member who appreciates it.

You never know if people really appreciate things. My mom quilted my cousin a gorgeous blue and white quilt as a house warming gift. She quilted it herself.

And I made a pair of pillow cases with the scraps to go with it for my contribution to the house warming.

It's been a few years now and the items have never left the closet. They weren't her colors.

SewSew2 07-10-2008 07:12 PM

Lovely work...we will be waiting to see it finished after after your day does the quilting.

gcathie 07-10-2008 07:27 PM

Cordelia... you can rest these aren't perfect...just that quick flash makes them look so good :D sorry about the work you spend into a quilt and it just sits there or used for a dog blanket....I don't give them to anyone..if they want them they have to at least give me what I have in it...then they will take care of it....seems like they don't understand it's not just the time but the love too...these are like kids to me...if nothing else We have one son and he will get them all when I'm gone..... Where have you been? Haven't noticed your two cents worth for days...is all okay??????


gcathie 07-10-2008 07:33 PM

SewSew2...okay dokey....Thanks

gcathie 07-10-2008 07:38 PM

johnette...Thank you so much for the compliment.. :D My Dad longarm quilts and he will be doing it...I know your stars will trun out great I've seen your work and it is wonderful!!

jbsstrawberry...Ahh sucks you make a girl blush :oops: :oops:

Moonpi...Thank you....wipeing tear from eye :wink:

Kyiav10...Thank you ....ahhhh Thank you very much.

Cordelia 07-11-2008 09:05 AM

I am swamped in work. No quilting for me this weekend. Drats. Keep posting your lovely pictures. I save them so I can look at them later. I save pictures of everybody's work and keep a sort of "computer scrap book."

Also, do you blog?

I notice a lot of quilters blog and display their work and it's fun to visit their sites and get links and ideas.

I have a blog, but not for quilts yet. But, I woefully neglect it.

sewhappy 07-11-2008 09:22 AM

Oh Cathie,
It's absolutely beautiful, I love everything about it, the color, the stars, the sashings. Great job! :mrgreen: I'm green with envy!

Marcia 07-11-2008 12:22 PM

All I can say is "WOW" That is really gorgeous!!!!!

gcathie 07-11-2008 10:45 PM

Cordelia...not sure what blog is?????some people consider me a blog....but don't think that's what you mean....I have facebook still not sure how to use that but working on it...can you pm me and kinda fill me in about such a thing...whenever you have time....

gcathie 07-11-2008 10:48 PM
