lakequilter Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Okay, my first custom. Thankfully, it is my own quilt! I tried everything I could think of - CC's, feathers, SID, and used the Rope a Dope too. That one had a bit of a learning curve, the 3" is a little big and hard to hold, then I had to use matching dark bobbin thread on a light background because I could not get it to not show. Anyway, I learned lots and it is done! Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Kathy it looks beautiful and it looks like you did a great job on the rope. I found that the more sandpaper dots I added the more control I had of the ruler. I love that ruler and it really makes doing the rope so easy.

lakequilter Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Sorry, this had to be sized to web version and I don't believe it is going to be very clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakequilter Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 This is my 2 year old grandson Marcus. The fun part is he actually 'won' this bunny that he loves so much. Cannot say his Mom is as happy;) A photographer was at the Easter Egg Hunt yesterday and took this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think I may have tried to go backwards a couple of times making it harder. Thanks;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sewcrazy4quilting Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Kathy your quilt looks great!! I love ALL of the designs you used on it. I might have to have the Rope a Dope ruler now *sigh* AND you should have put a "way too CUTE" alert on the pic of your grand son and his bunny, that picture just melts my heart. Thanks for sharing.
