I'm sticking to my "no more than four unfinished projects" at a time rule.

I got Fall Twist back from the quilters. I'm happy enough with it, I was just hoping when I gave her complete decision power, she'd do something more involved. She ended up doing about the same as I did to the bargellos I quilted. She did some random wave sort of work in the border. A bit disappointing because she's great at custom work. Anyway--it's done--binding and all. The batik binding was tough on the fingers!

Finished the little bargellos. One is 25" by 21", the other is a table topper at 23" by 13". My daughter-in-law loves that one, so after a quilt show, it's hers. I FMQed both and am very pleased.

The woman at the quilt show I'm doing Wed loved buying potholders last time, so I made 15 of them with panels. I'm practicing sewing the binding on by machine, and after some good advice from a "Main" post I got it worked out. :wink: I still have a few bindings to get on those.

Thanks for looking! :-D

Very pretty.

They look wonderful. Congrats on finishing

Wait, are the first two pictures of Fall Twist?

Fabulous and very vortex-y.

I'll wait until you verify before I add more. ;-)

Yes--I had to add more attachments... :-D

All so beautiful! :thumbup:

They look great! That quilt show will be the hit of the retirement home.

Ok, again, LOVE the vortex.

However, that quilting - you sent that out?

I could have done more with it and I don't FMQ.

It's not that it looks horrible, but that's like the LAZIEST job of LAQ-ing I've seen. Ever.

I hope you didn't pay much. How big is it?

That's the kind of job I'd expect from some of those ads in the back of QNM. "King size quilt for $35."

I just found my first quilt - a king size TATW disaster. That's appropriate quilting for it.

Again, it has nothing to do with your lovely pieced top. As usual, the fabric selection is fabulous.

I would have left it there and made her do more or do it over. :roll:

like all the quilts but really love your potholders. good job.

Everything is gorgeous, I love the Bargello quilt.

alll very pretty... but i'm partial to the baby bargellos!!

You do such beautiful work Karla!! Thanks for sharing with us!

Nice! I love how you quilted the bargello...very pretty!

It's about 61 by 45--her measurements. It was $65. She's really a terrific quilter... but didn't apply that to this one. I would have quilted it myself if I thought it'd be this simply done. She mentioned that she put a border in and didn't like it so tore it out and redid it. I don't like the border design.

I guess what it is is I have nearly every quilt of mine done with an overall design. I like them. But, this is only the third top I've made where I felt custom quilting was in order. The same quilter did both those other pieces--and they were amazing. I was expecting amazing for this one...and just didn't get it.

There was a shop hop, and the bargello was displayed on the long arm--and they sold a few books with the design. I had to call to see if it was done... and they were teasing that they'd like to keep it there for a few more days. But, I wanted to get it ready for the show. The ladies there will love it.

I might sell it... I'm just not attached to it like the simpler floral one I did.

Very lovely. With the first- bargello if you
squint it looks like you could jump right
into the center. Just love it!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Again, the quilt is still great. And if I saw it, I would have thought that maybe the maker quilted it, and wasn't very experienced at FMQ-ing. Not a big deal. It would still be a great quilt.

And people laugh when I go into the LAQ all armed with scribbles and thread colors and pictures of what I want where. Totally open to a discussion, of course, but sort of setting a threshold for the barest minimum I want. ;-)


Oh.
And I call first dibs on the floral should you ever want to sell it. ;-) :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I love those little bargellos-Where did you get the patterns?

I made them up. :wink:

I'll be making more.....

:D ;)

All of your projects are very nice. Congratulations on finishing them!

I love your quilts, I am going to do a bargello, have enough fabrics to do several but you have all the sizes covered, placemat to a large quilt. The florals are very eye catching.

Nice!

All are gorgeous, I really love the sunflower fabric, prettiest I have seen.

All lovely but those Bargello's Wonderful

love the bird potholders :thumbup:

Wow barnbum! You have been busy. I love everything you have made here.

Nice. I love the bargello.

I have the fabric with the birds that you made the potholders from. It's going to be a throw. Got the pattern online from JoAnn's.

Anyhow!!! I love all of your pieces! Great eye for color!

Nice job on everything!!

They are all wonderful. The first one is just outstanding...love those colors and that pattern.

All so very pretty--favs are the mini florals though!

Nice projects, I don't have more than 4 UFO's in my head at a time, only one at a time on the table though, one on the frame. I definately love the pot holders though

WOW! I definately want to make a bargello... those are INCREADIBLE!

One of these days I hope to get brave enough for a bargello. They are so cool! Love your pot holders too! =)

Those are so nice.

You do beautiful work!

These are beautiful.
