anniemueller Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Here's one that I quilted recently. It's all freehand. I did Nichole Webb's hook and kiss in the body of the quilt. The border is funny. I saw a quilt hanging in the Bathroom at Three Dudes fabric store in Phoenix. I didn't have a camera with me, so I dragged my friend into this bathroom to take pictures of the coolest border. It was funky leaves or feathers. Not quite like mine, but definitely my inspiration! Thanks Three Dudes:P Oh, the thread is an awesome color. It's a Rainbow that blended beautifully with the border fabric and the body of the quilt. I don't really like working with Rainbow though, it's touchy. Had to keep adjusting the tension, top and bobbin. Thanks for looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandra Darlington Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Beautiful quilt and quilting. I like the border fabric and the feather variation is so perfect there. Rainbows is great...when the tension is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandmaLKB Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Love that pattern ! "Disappearing 4 patch" is new to me. I'll have to look for it. I am working on a "Disappearing 9 patch" which is fun. I'm not keen on Rainbow thread either. It's pretty and has nice varigation, but too touchy. I only have a couple cones and won't buy any more. I do like varigated threads that blend with a lot of colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgene Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 I've never seen a Disappearing 9 patch made with a sashing like that. How did you do it? I love Nichole Webb's DVD. I would love to be able to quilt those designs as effortlessly as she does. It looks like you have got the hang of it. Congratulations. You did a wonderful job!!!

It wasn't my original design, but after searching and not finding a pattern, I created one that is sold at Stitch N Time in Jackson. Phone 888 565 5634 or fax 307 734 6950. I think it's $8 plus shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, this is the first time I stitched a spine without marking it first. At the time I was stitching, I thought I'd not do that again. But after it was done I really liked it. I did mark lines from the outer edge and next seam, to help place the feathers with enough room to echo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
