Hi guys!
I just wanted to give you an update on Isaac's quilt. HIS TOP IS DONE!!! I am SO thrilled with it! Everyone was so wonderful and contributed so many beautiful fabrics! I had quite the pile! It took alot of agonizing over the fabrics to choose the ones for Isaac. I made the quilt bigger than I originally intended and made the sashing smaller in order to fit as many as I could without making it a little hard on the eyes. I chose to put a one inch sashing between each fabric. I felt it was the minimum to keep the patterns from interfering with each other. (more to come) Here is the pile of wonderful fabrics everyone contributed [ATTACH=CONFIG]99792[/ATTACH] showing the piles of five inch squares. Some larger squares (which will become thier own quilts) [ATTACH=CONFIG]99793[/ATTACH] The fabrics laid out for Isaac's quilt [ATTACH=CONFIG]99794[/ATTACH] |
Awwww that is going to be so cute! I can't wait to see more :D:D:D

I chose a light blue for the sashing and I think it worked beautifully! When it came time for the border...I was stumped.
I tried so many fabrics as the border. Finally I dove into my stash. I had bought the starry fabric many months ago as a second backing for a Downy quilt. When I got it home, I realized it was actually quite expensive (and the other fabric I bought suited the quilt better) so it was put away for something special. Well...it was the only fabric I could find that was PERFECT! So, I feel that I bought it all those months ago for a purpose! Here is the top with just the sashing [ATTACH=CONFIG]99923[/ATTACH] Here is the perfect border!! [ATTACH=CONFIG]99925[/ATTACH] |

Ok. So...here is my question for you all. I am trying to decide if I should have it professionally quilted or if I can quilt it myself. I want to make sure that the quilting doesn't interfere with the prints. I was thinking if I did it myself, I would just SID around each square. Each square finishes at 4.5...so is that enough unquilted area for the batting to not bunch up?
I wanted to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart. I also wanted to tell all those kind people who offered fabric, but whom I didn't reply to...please don't think I am minimizing your offer of assistance. I was just so overwelmed with the responses, that I haven't had a chance to get back to everyone. Thank you all for all the fabric recieved and all the kind thoughts and offers for fabric. I can't wait to give this to Isaac. Also, I have already started on the first of many quilts that are to be donated in Isaac's name to the hospital where he is being treated. I have alot of work ahead of me to get all this fabric made into a form a child can cuddle and love! Oh...and I have asked Isaac's Mom for a photo!! I will try to post it on this thread (at the beginning) if I can when I get it!! Love and hugs to you all!!! |
The quilt is gorgeous ... you did a GREAT job!!

The quilt is just wonderful! I think SID would look nice. Love the fabric you chose for the border. Great job! You are such a kind and thoughtful person. Thank You!!!!!
I am sending hugs and prayers to Isaac and his family. |
Beautiful work on the quilt! It is absolutely wonderful!I'm sure he will love it! Thank you for all your work for such a great cause!

Oh, yes! The border really sets it off! Nice job!
