Dar Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Fantastic quilting. I've never done any crosshatching. Too difficult for a newbie like me, but it sure does look great on this quilt. Beautiful coloring too of the applique pieces. Dar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crafty Unicorn Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Breathtaking quilt- and you say it only took a month to quilt???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindasewsit Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Vickie, It's beautiful!!! Question... how did you go about doing the CH throughout the whole quilt. I also have Linda's CH rulers and LOVE them, but have only done blocks...did you roll and roll and then go back and do again and roll? Also, did you put your little details in after you CH? I just love it!! going into my faves! linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primitive1 Posted July 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Hi Linda, Well, first I did the feathers along the border and then I outlined each applique with monopoly thread. Then I crosshatched in one direction across the quilt, tied and buried threads and then crosshatched back across the area in the other direction. Pulled those threads and then did all the fun details on the appliques. Then I would roll the quilt forward, baste the sides so they are straight, and then feathered, etc. all over again. I just had to be careful to line up the rulers with the lines at the top where I stopped to do each section. By the time I finished the whole quilt, all the threads had been tied and knots buried and it was finished. I love how crosshatching really shows off the applique but it is alot of work - but worth it I think and my customer loved it! Thanks again for all of the compliments!

Primitive1 Posted July 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I forgot to add that where I mcTavished movement around some things, I did that before I crosshatched up to the McTavishing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfrost Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 It's one gorgeous quilt! All the time spent outlining, cross-hatching, etc. was worth it...just drop-dead beautiful! Thanks for sharing. I truly enjoyed looking at the photos. (Did you get any housework done during the month you were quilting that one? If so, I need to know your secret for time-management!)
