I noticed the orange, very striking with your other colors.

Steve, Great quilt. I did a couple of table runners last year in a pattern very similiar to this. It looked easy, but it really wasn't. I finally tweaked them to make it easier and they were the first things to sell of my table at the festival I took them to. Yours is great! :D

Very nice job! Lovin' the colors!!!

What a striking quilt, Steve! Your piecework is so precise!

Triciasquilts, I’m very curious what you did to make the pattern easier? Despite what Lucky Patsy's "Mom" says about the precise piecing, it was a bit hard getting them all sashed correctly. The blocks were so large that finishing it, and getting all the seams to line up, was a bugger. In the end I did a pretty good job, though honestly I think an experienced quilter would have done much better work of it than I did. It’s off about 1/16th in the middle, but with the interlocking you can’t really tell. I thought the woven lines more important than the seam. Once it’s quilted, that minor flaw should fade from sight.

I’ve decided to outline quilt instead of ditch so that each piece puffs out and the weave shows; though truthfully I’m unsure about my thinking on this.

Steve, that is just beautiful. Once again, you've shown what a master you are becoming! Have you given thought to entering a quilt show? You'd win something!!

You flatter me. My piecing is still not up to par (heck my pressing still needs work), and the quilting, though catching up is still progressing to the level I want. I think I'll eventually a show but that's still a few years off.

I had a thought: if I outline, but only the weave itself rather than each and every line, the design itself would be enhanced (it'll look more like it's actually a woven piece). Does that sound like plausible solution?

You were saying what about having just part of the talent of another quilter on another thread? That is awesome!!!! So crisp and precise!! Fantastic colors!! Truely, truely impressive!!

That's very cool. Looks like an engineer did it. :wink: I think it should go to your wife--for the name, or the engineer's convention--for the design.

You sure do good work. :!:
