A Shout Out about my Pixilated Quilt
 

This is my shout out the QuiltingBoard members for their wonderful influence on improving my quilting skills. Below you will see a picture of my Pixilated Quilt. So named because my 5 yr old DGD says that quilt looks like a MineCraft Sword! (because it looked pixilated...hence the name,,,)

So a shout out and thanks to JennR8R for her tutorial on a scrappy log cabin pattern thread named, "Turning 2.5" Scraps into a Log Cabin Block" posted on 2/16/2016. I used her pattern and technique. It was very easy to follow.

Next, a shout out and thanks to DJMat, who hosts swaps 4 times a year, such as her last one "Winter 2.5" charm swap" posted on 1/16/2017. We each get about 500 charms a swap from her, and QB members participation. I used these charms in the quilt.

Next, a shout out and thanks to PaperPrincess, whose thread, "2016 Fabric Moratorium" posted 1/1/2016, taught me to think about using my stash first, buy new 2nd. I used my stash of mostly white/light fat quarters for my backing, and 2.5" square swapped charms for my binding.

Next, a shout out and thanks to You-Tube Sharon Schamber-Perfect Straight Binding, who got me to use diluted elmers school glue and tiny metal tips to glue baste the binding on, square the corners, and connect the ends.

I sent this to the local longarmer, so I did not get to try the elmers glue backing technique...but I will on my next quilt that I quilt.

These are all basic techniques to quilters, but they were new to me. Thank you. QuiltingBoard Members for all you teach me. Hugs all around!!!!!

Your quilt is very beautiful. Great work!

Very attractive way to use up scraps.

just beautiful! I too have learned a lot from all my quilting pals here.

You did a fine job.

I can't tell you how excited I am that you made that quilt! :) It looks great on your bed!!!

Nice work!!

And to think it all started with you! I saw your thread in the tutorial section, and said, "I can do that". You are a very good teacher and a source of inspiration to me. Thanks so much.....

Nice first quilt and I am sure there will be many more. Happy quilting!

It is great we can all share and learn from each other. Without the internet, I'm not sure I would ever have been brave enough to attempt my first quilt. Your new quilt looks fantastic!

very nicely done

Beautiful quilt! It looks so perfect of that poster bed. Nice use of scraps. I am glad you enjoyed and used all of the suggestions from the board that were available to you. We are so fortunate to have so many resources at the tip of our fingers-literally-as we type along.

You did great! BTW....one of my fav pics above that bed!

That is beautiful. You have definitely moved into the intermediate category

I love your scrappy. I have looked at that tutorial many times and now you have inspired me to really get on the ball and get to sewing this pattern. It looks so nice on your bed-looks comfy.

Love your quilt!!!

Your quilt is beautiful!! Scrappy is my favorite. I look forward to seeing more quilts you make. Thanks for sharing

So happy to see how you used your 2.5" squares, impressive quilt! Way to go! ! !
hugs,

Thanks for asking

I came here with basic knowledge. Everything I've learned, I've learned here. Remembering to acknowledge what others have taught is important.

That looks great! Colorful and cozy. Bravo.

lovely quilt

Your quilt is beautiful and I especially like the pieced binding, fits appropriately.

Your quilt is wonderful! You executed what you learned very well. I agree, the Quilting Board has fabulous people on it who are so generous with their time and talent.

Amazing for a first quilt!

That looks so good. I really like the binding too, so many pieces to sew together!

It's a wonderful scrappy! And I love all the different whites you used on the back. Just great...

Beautiful quilt. Love it.

very nice job!!!

Your quilt is really beautiful!
And I agree - I learn so much from the members on this board.

Beautiful. I see that you used a lot of your stash, did it make a dent? I am working on 2 log cabin style quilts for my nieces. They are entirely from my stash except for the black. I can't see that my stash has gone down.

No, it has not gone down at all. I think they reproduce when I close the lid and turn off the lights, But it doesn't help that I signed up for the Birthday swap, in which I will receive 1500 more squares.

Looks like you are a great student and learn well. Your quilt turned out beautiful.

WOW, that is beautiful. Love scrappys.

Wonderful quilt...I love scrappies.

Fantastic! I love it. Great job.

Great job!!!
