turkish labyrinth
 
3 Attachment(s)
had lots of fun designing and making this quilt.
it was mend for a contest, but when it lays down on a bed/couch or hangs on my quiltingrack it looks good.
But when hanging on a rod it isn't all straight.
I decided not to enter the contest, but I still think it's a beautiful quilt although it ain't perfect.
The name is because the flowers were appliqued from old turkish embroiderypatterns.

Gorgeous! It looks perfect to me and I think you should have put it in the contest. I have seen award winning quilts from famous quilters that had a few wobbles in the edge.

Have you ever heard of blocking a quilt? Alex Anderson does this to hers. She wets it and pins it to the carpet and lets it dry. This makes it square so it hangs straighter.
I don't have the space to do this, but maybe you do.

QuiltnNan 10-19-2012 12:21 PM

it's beautiful... very nicely done

tinker 10-19-2012 12:27 PM

Lovely!

Did that border fabric get chosen first or last?
It's perfect.

lynnie 10-19-2012 02:13 PM

So pretty, you need to put it in a show

CarolinePaj 10-19-2012 02:44 PM

It is a work of art.... you could always try blocking it before entering it into the show! I'm sure it would win!

Is it possible to share the name of the fabric line you used? Love your quilt very much!

alfosa421 10-19-2012 05:30 PM

It is very pretty You should still enter it in the contest just so you can share the beauty of it

Absolutely beautiful. I love it!

This is an outstanding quilt. You did an absolutely wonderful job...a beautiful design!

I commented earlier on this beautiful quilt but I think I was so anxious to give my opinion I forgot to hit "Post Quick Reply". What I said was along these lines - what do you mean you didn't enter it! The quilt might not be perfect in your eyes but seeing it would bring pleasure to so many viewers, you have to share it. It's really an exceptional quilt. I think I said something like maybe you need a little push, and you're certainly getting it from all the readers who are commenting so favorably. If there's no time limit for entries, try it next year. Bet you get a prize.

SharonAnne 10-19-2012 06:01 PM

It is a marvelous quilt and you should have entered it. The colors, applique work, everything is gorgous!!
There's still time for another contest maybe??

joyce888 10-19-2012 06:06 PM

I think it's beautiful and you should have entered the contest.

I could not say it any better. I also have a wall hanging that is flat on a bed but not hanging. I am not entering into a show so I hang it anyway.
