Cathe 03-02-2008 05:53 AM

Well done!! That is a creative use of chenille on the Circles quilt.

Pam Pollock 03-02-2008 01:16 PM

Denise, Those are so neat. I love the Chenile Cathederal window! The runner is beautiful also. I would like to see how you finish your runner. Please post a photo when you're done. Great job!!

sandpat 03-02-2008 04:00 PM

Ok..I'm still scratching my head wondering how'd you do that?? Great work...that chenille thing....wow..

Love the table runner too!

Shadow Dancer 03-02-2008 04:08 PM

Gorgeous! :)

Barb M 03-02-2008 04:11 PM

Wow, just beautiful!

Yvonne 03-02-2008 04:28 PM

Denise,
Both of your projects are wonderful but that chenille is to die for! What a wonderful idea. I have a chenille duvet that I don't use any more. I've been saving it and now I know what I've been saving it for! What a great idea!

DA Mayer 03-02-2008 04:58 PM

I used circles cut from chenille and flannel squares for the inside of the 'window'. I had leftover batting high loft from years ago and had just enough for the quilt. The pattern and directions are from this site http://www.equilters.com/library/jeans/jeans_gallbaros.html. The hardest part was cutting circles from the chenille. This is a self quilting project. I finished at 4:30 on Christmas eve to give to my mother-in-law. Her cancer has come back and I wanted something cozy for her to use. I used an icecream pail lid for my circle pattern.

ktjomayer 03-03-2008 01:58 PM

I think that the table runner turned out beautifully. You need to post a finished picture so that everyone can see how great it is.

jbsstrawberry 03-03-2008 02:29 PM

Wow!! You really should show off more often!! Those are wonderful!

Diamonds 03-03-2008 02:31 PM

It is gorgeous.... I love chenile...

moreland 03-03-2008 02:38 PM

Would love to know how you did the chenile circles. In the long ago, I made cathedral windows in the "old fashioned" folded square way, but surely that would be way too much bulk. Beautiful quilt.

Lisa 03-03-2008 07:53 PM

Beautiful! You can tell everyone is looking forward to spring with all the vibrant colors showing up lately on the quilts! You did a great job. I am currently working on a quilt like the first one you posted using 30's retro. I like your twist on it with the chennile. Great job! I also love the purples in your table runner!!!!!

ceannastahr 03-03-2008 08:04 PM

they are fvery pretty I love the firt one so bright. Very interesting pattern I may have to try it some day

Belinda 03-06-2008 05:52 AM

Love your quilt and table runner!! Very pretty!

adyldrop 03-06-2008 09:31 PM

oh i found a tute online for one like your chenille but with denim. it's basically a quilt as you go kinda quilt. I have it on my list of things to try and I was thinking a nice cord or chenille would look nice! Thanks for confirming my thoughts! It's beautiful!

DA Mayer 03-07-2008 06:52 AM

I have 400 denim circles cut from old jeans just waiting to be put together.

dotski 03-08-2008 04:37 AM

wow that is a great idea ! do you think it will work with fleece ? i have tons of fleece and don't know what to do with it . dotti

DA Mayer 03-08-2008 07:59 AM

I think fleece would work, I wouln't put any batting in though, the chenille came out pretty stiff with the batting. For a cozier, snuggle blanket you could do fleece for both circle and square. Good luck Denise

egranger 03-09-2008 04:38 AM

Great! What method did you use for this Cathedral Windows quilt? I like it :D

Chele 03-09-2008 04:52 AM

Great quilts! And thanks for the link! I may have to give that a go.

susan s. 03-11-2008 10:19 AM

WOW! That is georgeous! Did you make the chenile or buy it? I really like that effect!

jamsbuying 03-11-2008 01:50 PM

Love the Chenile!

DA Mayer 03-11-2008 04:43 PM

I bought the chenille. It was extra wide, I think it was 5 or 6 yards.

Feathers 03-13-2008 07:16 AM

OK, I'm :mrgreen: with envy at your talent and skill. Those quilts are gorgeous. I've tried and tried to do a Cathedral Window with smooth cotton and CANNOT master that application...here you're doing it with Chenille! THANK YOU for sharing. I love your quilts.

SewSew2 03-13-2008 05:35 PM
