Take 5 Gets the Point quilt -- quilted for customer by Dee
 
5 Attachment(s)
This is the Take 5 Gets the Point quilt I quilted for my friend, Jeanne. It's a fun one to quilt -- always turns out so pretty!!

The straight lines you see are the Vanish thread from Superior -- used to stabilize the quilt.

I used Warm and Natural batting and King Tut thread -- it's 67" x 84 1/2" wide and the designs are all freestyle.

beautiful quilt and quilting. I love that the colors make it suitable for Christmas, but it's not a "Christmas" quilt per se.

What a beautiful quilt, and I love your quilting. And don't you just love that Vanish thread? It makes everythng so simple. No more hand basting. Can't use the spray glue - cuz I have COPD. Great work!

That is a beautiful quilt. Love the quilting also. My flowers and circle are nowhere straight like yours. I'll just have to keep practicing.

Dee, you have done it again!! It is beautiful, I made this for a friend who is nuts about Shabby Chic, this should suit her just fine. I think that the quilting is beautiful. Wonderful job. Jeanne

Beautiful......love the Christmas fabric!

amandasgramma 11-02-2011 11:42 AM

Thank you everyone -- but I want to clarify -- it's NOT red and white!!! It's a rose pink and white. Think Shabby Chic!!!

Beautiful quilt and quilting.

jahaper 11-02-2011 02:20 PM

Your quilt is very pretty.

sewmom 11-02-2011 02:24 PM

Very nice. What is Vanish thread? Is it a water soluble thread used for basting? It would certainly make life simpler if it was.

I'm sorry --- I always forget to include something with the narratives! Vanish thread IS a water soluble thread. You use it on the top and loosen the tension. It comes out really nice with spritzes of water....except where the quilting goes over it. You need to soak the quilt in the washer to really get it out good though....otherwise it's like stiff fishing line poking you. I only do it on customer quilts that I KNOW are going to be washed.

Shabby chic is a look I like and the quilt is beautiful!

Beautiful Dee - I love your flower design you quilted. Great job.

quilter in the making 11-02-2011 05:02 PM

Very beautiful quilt. I think the class I took a few years ago was a Take Five pattern, but not on point. I never did finish that quilt. That's one of the UFO's I should get out and finish. You have definitely inspired me to finish it even though it's nowhere as lovely as this one.

MamaBear61 11-02-2011 05:05 PM

It is beautiful and the quilting is lovely

sandybuttons 11-02-2011 05:11 PM

I have made several take five quilts never one like yours love it :)

lollygagging 11-02-2011 06:19 PM
