Well I have been working on this thing now for like 3 weeks. It is my biggest quilt to date and it hasn't turned out so bad. I do realize I need a bigger machine with a deeper throat because it caused some puckering up on the back and on a few places on the front. :( I ripped a few seams out but alas did no good because when i got it back on the machine it puckered in the same places 3 times. I just finally accepted that nothing is perfect.
Quilts can be like the people who make them, flawed but unique. :):) I personally am very proud of this quilt. I didn't rush with this quilt. I took my time with it but for now I am setting it aside and by aside I mean its going on MY bed. I was going to give this to my sister but after all that I want my first big quilt to be for me. I may at a later date, do some more quilting on the green and yellow spaces but we will see what time tells me to do to it, if anything. [b] not Ironed yet [ATTACH=CONFIG]10405[/ATTACH] |
Henry, it is absolutely awesome! You're right, you didnt rush on this one, you put a lot of work into it. The pattern and the colours are gorgeous, it's really pretty. I've tried quilting by hand and machine. Hand is hard, and i dont have small stitches. By machine is hard too, especially if it's a big quilt. From now on all my big quilts i am going to do in two halves, then join them. Someday i might get a darning foot for my machine and try that. Wow, this is a big quilt, and a huge accomplishment Henry :) Just love it! :) Oh yeah, i may have memory trouble, but i have a good memory for some things lol lol Now, if i remember correctly, first this quilt was gonna be for you and wifey, then for your sister, now you've stolen it back and it's just for you!!!!!! lol lol lol
