Thanks JMoore!

Pearl, that's what I'm trying to do too. Finishing WIPs and UFOs and not starting a new project. I see so many lovely projects I would like to start.......but it's a NO NO!!

Will be putting the sections of my LTG together tomorrow to make the top. I have a question for those who have done LTG: Do you put a narrow border between the pieced top and the pieced border? I think I am going to do this to help break up the busyness. Will post photo of finished top when I get it done.

One general question: I notice a lot of the JK patterns call for templates. Are they actually necessary or can the blocks be constructed using other methods? I am not a huge fab of using templates. TIA

About the narrow border: I did not. It's a great idea though. Can't wait to see it!

Regarding the templates: For Bakers Dozen I started without templates but purchased them very early in the process. It's hard cutting those odd shapes without templates. I guess that goes for all the quilts which call for templates.

Hi all.

I'm busy working on My Batik Gypsy.
made from my batik stash.
I'm 2/3 of the way finished on the top. I'd like ideas on how to quilt it.

I'm trying to upload a photo....

I’m also looking forward to seeing your blocks, Bldquilt, but I can offer no help with uploading pics. I seem to have lost my avatar.

So apparently the photos on my phone are all too large...I will have to go into my computer to fix this.

I can tell you to think very hard if you are thinking about quilting this way. I quilted down the strips, every one and avoided the blocks. Then I went back and quilted the blocks one at a time. The quilt is so colorful and busy, the quilting isn't noticed. If I ever make another one, I will do an all over pattern.
