Can anyone identify this quilting pattern or is it custom/freehand? Thanks-

My dh made one using a piece of plywood for the base, drilled a hole to accommodate a wooden dowel to hold the thread and used a coat hanger which he bent to make a loop for the thread. Works great and didn't cost anything. -

Has anyone made a Frank Lloyd Wright quilt?

I've made a stained glass window and two inserts for a cabinet door. Hadn't thought of making a quilt. -

I would give that one back. I prefer working with t-shirts that are 100% cotton and using a woven stabilizer. I have found that the dry fit t-shirts don't work very well either. As stated by InezR, sew slowly over the designs. I like t-shirt quilts that have a little fabric around the blocks, not just blocks of t-shirts to add contrast and interest. A friend of mine used a "water" fabric as the base for her daughters water skiing t-shirts. Adorable! Here's one of mine:

How thoughtful of Roland, Rita sure got lucky when she found him. Betsy-it was you who got it done and any accolades are all yours. Nice job! -

Thanks for your help and advice. The request was to use black since that is part of their corporate colors. I looked at the EQ printable and it had the same problem as Printed Treasures- it is not a true white. I found a 08 micron pigma pen and gave it a shot, thanks Neher-in-law5 and Lisa C. That looked good and after washing, it still looked good. I also took a crack at what Cagey recommended. I took a larger piece of fabric, anchored it to the freezer paper, and then taped the corners to a piece of foam core. (Freezer paper was rolling up.) I used a blue erasable and drew lines giving each

I have been asked to create a quilt using signature blocks from an event where each will be signed with a special note and name. To keep the messages short and sweet, I am using 2" x 4" blocks of white kona cotton pressed onto a piece of freezer paper for stability. I tried a sharpie permanent marker (ultra fine point) and it ran a lot. I starched the fabric and tried again. It didn't run as much, but now I want to see what it looks like after washing. (All blocks will be signed with black ink.) I've heard horror stories about having a table cloth signed at a party and then once it is was

Cutting Strips for piecing/binding
piecrust replied to Cagey's topic in Gone Quilting...Chat About Anything
Rulers are getting so expensive. Have you seen the cost of those Bloc_loc rulers for flying geese? Anyway, when I watched a demo on the Stripology Squared Ruler, the ruler looked very similar to the "Square It Up" ruler I already had. Using the same techniques, I was able to use my existing ruler to achieve the same great results. -

I guess this means the Millie winner should be a math wiz. My entry today was 0 + 1. Luckily, I can handle that amount of math on one hand. -

I've had a similar problem, so let me put this one out there. My quilt had two outer borders and I removed them still attached to each other. The middle of the quilt laid flat but the inner border, still attached to the outer border not only waved, but twisted. My fabric had been pre-washed and pressed with steam, not using any starch. Upon closer inspection of the "problem" fabric, I found the weave as "wondering" along with being looser in some areas, tighter in others. I decided to replace the offending fabric and that did the trick. The fabric came from a reputable manufacturer, I suppose

Ughh - help please - stain - update
piecrust replied to connieb's topic in Gone Quilting...Chat About Anything
DH had a black ink gel stain on a white, dress shirt pocket. I sprayed it with "Greased Lightning", waited 15 minutes and threw it in the washer. Worked wonderfully. BTW-dispose of that pen. -
