Simply Woven

This one should be called "A Bad Weave" ;-)
Even though I'm pleased with the finished quilt, I did not care for the technique. I think I did everything wrong that I could piecing this one. Could never find my rhythm making the blocks, but I do feel really lucky that I found border fabric in my stash that matched so nicely with the yellow background. Almost looks planned ;-) Another UFO busted... [ATTACH=CONFIG]561770[/ATTACH] |
Lovely quilt!
|
my goodness that's pretty! Congrats on finishing. If it were me, I'm sure I would've gotten so screwed up, I would've given up.
|
a pretty quilt.....I like the woven effect.
|
It is very pretty. I know what you mean about uncooperative quilt patterns/blocks.
|
Very nice quilt and you are right-the border fabric is a perfect match.
|
great quilt and colors!!!
|
nicely done
|
I completely understand what you mean about some blocks. Regardless, your quilt is fantastic! Great balance of colors.
|
Sorry you had a struggled with this beautiful quilt. The end result is lovely. Enjoy it.
|
Beautiful!!! Yes that particular patterns is a headache but you turned it into a beautiful quilt!!! Well done!!!

I love it! When I made it I also got sick of the slicing and re-piecing, so I skipped the last cut. My quilt ended up looking like this, and uneven weave, which was ok with me:

Gorgeous quilt! What's wrong with it??
|
Oh, I really like the way you did that. Looks great.
|
A lovely finish to be proud of.
|
lol, yngldy. Nothing really. I'm happy with the quilt, but I wouldn't do another. Tedious technique for me.
|
That's such a pretty quilt. I would like to make it with all floral fabric. Can you tell me where you got the pattern? Sometimes I feel like I need a challenge & that quilt looks challenging. Thanks for sharing.

osewme, I found the pattern here:

Thanks for the link. I may just have to bookmark/print that one for a future quilt for myself.
|
The quilt is lovely. I don't think I would care for the technique either.
|
Good for you, finishing another UFO which is quite beautiful in it's purple glory!
|
sorry you had a terrible time with the construction. This quilt came out very nice, and is something to be proud of.I love it.
|
The quilt looks great! I'm working on a Simply Woven for my DGD and I'm at the point I hate it. I'm with you - made mistakes piecing, felt awkward making it.
|
It can be really tricky. I have made one out of neckties. I made paper templates of what it should look like each step that helped considerably. Your quilt turned out great!
|
I think it looks wonderful Debra, love the colors! I made just one block from this pattern for a pillow cover front, it turned out fine but didn't care for the process too much.
Sewbizgirl, yours looks like a plaid. :) |
Well, maybe I should reconsider making one of these from all the comments. But I really love it. I guess I could do like geevee and make just one block to see how it goes first. :(
DebraK, if you ever don't want yours anymore I can send you my mailing address. :) |
Lovely quilt
|
Super quilt. Love the pattern and the colors. You did a great job. BrendaK
|
Debra, congrats on the finish of your UFO. I can only imagine from looking at your quilt that it was quite a challenging project. What a nice feeling to have it finished...
|
Beautiful quilt and such a perfect border fabric! I understand about some blocks being difficult. I have had a couple that I had to pin bits of papers marked with letters, numbers, arrows, etc. in order to get together. I admire your stick-to-it attitude. Paid of beautifully. Enjoy! Thanks for sharing your journey with this one.
|
I made that one and I found it very difficult. I liked making the squares but putting it together was a "bear". I donated the top to a group that gives to shelters. Yours is really pretty.
|
I have this same pattern and actually started it almost two months ago. Like you, just couldn't get into a rhythm for making the blocks. Yours turned out beautiful....mine is a UFO.
|
Very pretty quilt!
|
It's done! It looks great! Now you can go do something not so challenging! The colors are fabulous.
|
Looks great!!
|
Your quilt is beautiful but I see there sure was a lot of cutting! Need to keep your cutting table clear for this one. I worry about errors when so much cutting is involved. You did a beautiful job and most important you are done with this one.
|
I love everything about your quilt. The colors are beautiful together. The pattern is gorgeous. All I see is perfection.
|
Very nice.
|
What a pretty quilt. Love your color choices.
|
Great job. Love your colors
I loved this pattern when I saw it, but also could never find my rhythm with this block, and gave up. The 3 blocks went into the homeless box and will go into a charity quilt. |
