IBQLTN2 Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Very cool Dory which album did you post the other pictures under. I didnt see it at least on the front. I usually try to rearrange my pictures so the recent one shows at the front of the album so it can be found easier. Does this quilt have a special reason for being round, beside the fact that it is just cool! Any tips as to how you were able to keep it lined up where it didnt have any straight borders. I have one that has a edges and I may need some tips on how to get it straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 That's really unusual and very spectacular, too! You did a great job on it. What will it be used for? I can't tell how large it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antoinette Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Jeanne, you did the same thing I did..........went to her webshots. If I took the time to read it instead of being in a hurry to see it I would see that she said BLOG. Go see it. It is quite stunning. antoinette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oireachtas Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 That looks like it was a real challenge. You did a beautiful job and I'm sure the piecer will be thrilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoryJM Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 I had tons of help from JoAnn Hoffman with loading and ideas from our Doodlebug. Of course, the stuff Doodlebug suggested was a just a tiny bit:D beyond my expertise!! The lady who made this plans to just throw it over her couch. We actually had a class last year before Christmas to make treeskirts. She made this instead. She's really talented and an excellent piecer. Thanks for the compliments everyone!!

witha'K'quilting Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 You did a beautiful job on this Dory. It is much too pretty to throw on a couch though. Tell your customer that she can send it to me. I love the Southwest..and this is beautiful!! In fact, I have this pattern. Haven't started it yet though. Opps, gotta go start another project. Bye bye for now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neher-in-law5 Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Great work on this one. I have made the butterfly quilt from the book Quilts without Corners. They can go together pretty easily if we read and think it through first. It makes me want to go quilt the one I have waiting. since it isn't for a particular person, I haven't been in a hurry.

DoryJM Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Linzi...I hadn't thought about that. I actually have a round one almost done, but its Christmas. I should make one for the yurt...great idea! Kristina, I love the southwest look of this one too. In fact, my customer had only seen the Christmas one the teacher had and she wanted it quilted the same with with gold metallic. Talked her out of that and did this instead. I think she'll be pleased. So, what # project is this??? Marilyn, let me know when you're coming up. I'd love to meet you too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWBowser Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 That is so cool! Did you do the straight lines with rulers? Was it a lot of ruler work and marking? It is beautiful. Charlotte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Wow, that's really cool, Dory! I love how you created the space in the white area. The zig zag quilting in the outer area really carries the design from the middle. WTG! Yeah team!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
