Georgene Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 I'm not a "Piecer" -- I like simple quilts so I can get to the quilting sooner. A lady friend saw this pattern and asked if I would make it for her -- I've made several quilts for her and her grandchildren. And I said sure -- knowing it would be a challenge, but not knowing how much of a challenge. Well, I learned to do "Y" inset seams, mitered borders while matching motifs.....that was not easy. It's easier for a square quilt, but this one is rectangle. Now you won't see any fancy quilting, because it's mostly stitch in the ditch. I did do some feathers in the green inner border and in the black triangle corners. But, this quilt was mostly about design of fabric, so I kept the quilting simple to accentuate the design itself. But I'm just so proud that I was able to make it, I wanted to share it with someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annaquilts Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Oh wow ! I have this pattern, but I chickened out when I realized it had all those dang Y seams ! You should be very proud of yourself. This is not an easy quilt but any stretch. You did a fantastic job, I'd say you are the queen of piecing ! Thanks for sharing !

Sue E. Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Great job! I've done several Jinny Beyer quilts and none have been easy and I think all have had lots of "Y" seams. I saw this pattern and loved it but I decided to let someone else make it and I'd just admire it. I'm admiring yours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgene Posted February 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Thanks Ladies. I failed to say this Faberge Quilt by Jinny Beyer was made from a kit of 28 different fabrics. I had to label each fabric, then cut each in different sizes and label those cuts: 1A was Fabric 1, cut A; 2F was Fabric 2, cut F, etc. It was more organization than my mind could handle, but I got through it.....very tedious. The quilt is not perfect, but it's good enough and I'm glad it's done. And I did learn a lot from it, so that's always good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
