IBQLTN2 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Well, it took me forever to get this quilt finished and off the frame. It is only 60 x 60 so not even a big quilt, but everytime I tried to get some work done on it something else would come up and there went my quilting time. For the last week I have had all three of my children at my house with the grandkids. So we have had a great time but no quilting and what a mess my house is. Okay this quilt is scrappy drunkards path variation that I tried out my new crosshatch rulers on. The outer border is done in piano keys then the next light colored area I put a feathered border, the colored chain type border is hearts. Inside the chained border is the crosshatching which goes thru and around the center circles and inner colored designs. I think you will be able to figure out what I mean with the pictures.

PattyJo Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Jeanne - Beautiful piecing and quilting on this quilt. I love the Drunkards Path setting. The cross hatching is amazing as is your bump bump feathers. I think you are too hard on yourself about them. They are way better than I could do. Good Job girl.:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsurich Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Great vision for the quilting! It would have been easy to have overwhelmed the design with the quilting. This one goes in my idea file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramona-quilter Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Well, I think it looks fabulous, hump-bumps and all. Good plan and great execution. The cross-hatch is the perfect background. I love how it stabilizes the quilt and compliments the pattern without stealing the show from teh drunkards path pieces. I love the back. That's where you can really see all your work. Great stuff.
