APQS Posted June 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Notice on this quilt the round circles in the diamond shape are actually "holes" in the quilt and the black color inside is the booth background showing through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 HI, are the edges of the holes bound? I've been thinking about putting spaces into a quilt and I can't decide how to finish the edges. Thanks Ferret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APQS Posted June 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Actually if you look very closely at the "holes" you'll see each of the four corners is a slightly different color...the fabric square actually wraps around to the back side. Birgit will have to fill in more of the details, she's at the show now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting4You Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 These quilts are so wonderful - they all are masterpieces! Which price got Claudia Pfeil? I'm sorry, but I can't read it! Kind regards, Romy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 So they do. Doh! Hmm I wonder if that means she has used the other idea I was thinking of. It's how I set metal rings into car covers. you finish the inside of the circle with the backing before assembly. It would work but be trixy. I do wish I was there. Somehow not having quilts there makes it seem even further away. I wonder how cheap the flights would be if I booked now for next year. Do we have dates for next year?

birgitquilts Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 It is so great to see these pictres online - but believe me qll the quilts are much more gorgeous in reality... Ferret, I think I finished my holes as you are guessing. I finished eche of the 4-patch blocks with a hole as a separate quilt sandwich (stitching the circle with the batting in between, cutting away the circle center, turning the whole thing inside out). Afterwards, I pieced the top fabrics, tucked the batting pieces over and under, turned one side of the backing fabric under and fused it to the next square. It was sort of tricky - and I had to fit in the batting and backing square for the center of the quilt. But it worked and I'm happy with the way it looks... Off to some more shopping. Talk to you next week. Birgit (currently at MQS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Birgit, Your Chocolatte quilt is YUMMY! Amazing; very cool. Thank you for sharing your technique with us. That took a lot of time, effort, work! I always appreciate quilters who push the edge and continue to do new things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 "Big Bird Blues" is Beautiful and Breathtaking. I have never met a blue and yellow quilt that I didn't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Thanks for the info on the holes and the dates, I'll start looking for flights I think. Ferret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherri Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 I believe the ribbon on Claudia's quilt is a teacher's recognition award. Don't know which teacher, tho.... The pictures are really great - but I have to tell you, the quilts (up close and personal) are phenomenal. Words can't really describe....... Wish you all could see.

Judi Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Great photos!! Thanks for posting them! I am wondering what those hollow stars are on the "Big Bird Blue" quilt? Are they quilting? Or some other method or item? So hard to tell with out seeing the quilt first hand... Congrats to Claudia on Viewers Choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katydids Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 I received my 2 entries back from MQS yesterday and to my surprise "Ocean Magic" Storm at Sea, pieced by Hilly Wellborn had a "Teachers Ribbon" on it It wasn't there on Friday when I left the show, so it really was a surprise!!!!! I don't know who Carole Wilder is, but "Thank you" very much for the recognition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtreusch Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Patty, I remember seeing your ribbon late Friday afternoon when I went through the show looking at the quilts. Congratulations on the ribbon!! I enjoyed meeting and talking with you the one morning we met in the lobby. Debbi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katydids Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hi Debbi, It was really nice to meet you too. Congratulations on your 2 ribbons!!! I have to tell you, I loved your purple quilt in the traditional category and am amazed at what you have accomplished in just a year and a half with your Millie. You truly do beautiful work.

cummik Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Congratulations - Carol Wilder is from Hastings Minnesota. She taught the class on caring for your featherweight. She had several quilts in the show and her daughter received a ribbon for her civil war miniature quilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
