lyonden Posted March 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Jolene - Yes that was the CL Ginko template. Some of the fabric in the quilt had Ginko leaves so I matched that. Good eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witha'K'quilting Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Beautiful quilting Carol. I am impressed with how well those borders behave now with all the pebbling. You do a fantastic job. I am amazed how the 2 quilts on your webshots are the same...yet so different due to the quilting! To be honest...I love them both! You are quite talented.

lyonden Posted April 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Thanks to all of you who commented on the quilting. I was also amazed that it worked as well as it did. She is having to curve the corners around the vines to get rid of the extra fabric that I couldn't hide. But, it looks even better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitaR Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I had no idea how much extra fabric the rays or pebbles, which you masterd here, would take up that much space. very pretty quilt too.. RitaR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolO Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Hi Carol, I read with interest your comments on the wavy border as I have just done a wavy border myself. Nothing compared to yours. It is just beautiful. Mine was done with CompuQuilter. I am rather new to quilting. But I was interested in what you said about shrinking the border. How do you do this? Thanks for your input.

DawnCavanaugh Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Carol, To check for wavy borders quickly, fold the quilt out on the floor. Bring one long end into the center of the quilt, along a center seam or the imaginary center of the quilt. Align the one corner of the border with the quilt's center edge. If you're alone, it helps to put a pin into the border and corner there to keep the edges aligned. Now move to the opposite end of the quilt. Make sure the center of the quilt is smooth (tug it gently toward you) and then check the border to see if aligns with the center's border or hangs past the center. Any "overhang" tells you how much longer the side border is compared to the quilt's center. You can repeat this for all four borders. Let me know if this doesn't make sense, and I'll attach photos:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonbon Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 I've been trying to print this out to no avail. Just wondering if somehow it is blocked? If so, is there a way to unblock it? I want to file this one in my notebook. It is a wonderful idea and beautiful too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
