LibbyG Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 When Heidi told me I needed a show and tell for Camp Mowana, I panicked. I was saving my quilts until my skills improved. But now, I had no choice, so I chose my Burgoyne Surrounded, googled images, and found Joanne's (Beestitched Quilting) stunning version.Mine is 90 by 112. I used so fine in the top and BL in the bottom. Enjoy the pictures of my quilt. I used DeLoa Jones curved crosshatching rulers. I needed the 15 inch for the outer border blocks and the 12 inch for the inside blocks. They're VERY user friendly.Also, if you were quilting this for a friend, how much would you charge them? Thanks!

LadyLake Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 I'm confused, Libby. Is the quilt in the photos the quilt that you quilted? It certainly is beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibbyG Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Yes, this is my quilt. It took me almost two hours to figure out the post. I'm so computer illiterate. I've only had my Millie for a year and I'm envious of the work everyone else does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFQuilts Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Libby, You are going to be challenged when charging. Your friends have gotten accustomed to you learning on their quilts for 1 cent/square inch or for free. Here, custom work starts at 3 cents/square inch. I'm betting that this level of quilting goes for more like 4 or 5 cents/square inch. You can visit folks various blogs/websites and see how they charge. Thanks for the info on Deloa's crosshatching rulers. I have her books and appliguide, but not those rulers. Yet:) I feel a Christmas list starting in my head.
