tootsquilts Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 My quilt, This Irish Stars, made the quiltmaker magazine in the sew to speak section for the May/June 2017 Issue. I sent this picutre to them and was contacted to be able tp put in the magazine. I'm proud to show it off. I made three of these quilts for the kids for Christmas. All Just alike. I used Quilters Dream wool batting, and just pulled fabric from my hidden fabrics to try to match up as best I could. I used the the panto, Dewdrops in the Garden from Urban Elementz. I don't have quilt path, so I found it was a little hard to do. I started not to post these, because I was not as proud as I should have been with the panto I chose for these quilts. I got the pattern from the Quiltmaker magazine, July/August 2014 No. 158 issue. Anyway here is a picture of a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 All I can say is stop being your worst critic. Your piecing and quilting look wonderful. Great job. Cagey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepsi Girl Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 "Hidden Fabric" is that a way of saying stash? I really like the pictures on the bed, can see the colors better. Its very pretty and you did a great job! I'm glad you posted. Your quilting looks great so did you mean you didn't like your choice of panto? My opinion is it looks good but I understand sometimes I pick some quilt design do it and after wish I did something different. But it doesn't mean it doesn't look good because it does. Plus your kids will love them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I did mean the choice of the panto, not sure if it would have been better with another, but oh well, its done. To me also that panto is a little hard for me do do. Thanks so much everyone for the kind comments. Yes by the time I got the 3 together, I was tired of doing that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlsa3 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Love it....really beautiful....nothing wrong with the quilt designs as far as I can see. Looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibbyG Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Cathy, we all question ourselves on panto choices, quilting choices etc. Yours is beautiful and the longer you quilt you won't worry as much. I love everything you did. I can't tell you the number of times I've said, "Why did I buy this panto???" What was I thinking? But it gets easier every time you use it.

Quilta93 Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 You did a wonderful job! Those 3 quilts look like a lot of work. Deb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwiltr Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 You did an amazing job on piecing these quilts! That's a lot of work and they are beautiful. The quilting adds a great texture to them. Be proud :-)! I think I spend as much, if not more time researching what to quilt, than quilting! And then I'm still not sure or may change my mind right before I put the first stitch in! It's all part of the fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
