Robin Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 As I said on another post, I finally did something kind of custom...the center of my Bon Voyage quilt which will be in our guild quilt show this weekend. I outlined around the applique and McTavished (the Mc Schock version) for the background fill. Not perfect but pretty good for a beginner. When I got done I wanted to keep going (and rip out my first stuff and do it over). That McTavishing is kind of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Thanks, Sylvia, "Bon Voyage" is designed by Edyta Sitar for Laundry Basket quilts and it was made from Edyta's fabric line which my wonderful LQS got in. I love Edyta's style. Check her out on line at Laundry Basket Quilts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Thanks, Vicki, I started in the upper right-hand corner and I want to do that part over, but I don't want to rip all that out. So, I'll just move on. It is fun to McTavish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delld Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Very pretty. Love the colors in this quilt!!! The applique really sets off the quilt and the quilting is just as pretty!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Thanks, gals. With your encouragement I might just get around to the front side of my machine after all. I can't take credit for how the fabric was put together as it was a kit. But in case anybody does this quilt...make sure and check her website for corrections as that border that you gals like so much with all the squares has an error in cutting directions. The pattern says to cut 204 - 2 1/2" squares when the correct size was supposed to be 3 1/2". My LQS was great about it and gave me new fabric to cut the squares, but it was a lot of time lost and some aggravation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibbyG Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Your McTavishing looks a lot better than mine. I even have the DVD. My friends took her class and she told them to do it a totally different way from the DVD. OR-- I just didn't understand what she was saying. It's really well done and that's how you get your confidence and get started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 I just love this forum...the most encouraging place a quilter can go. Thanks, gals. Shana, I am so jealous that Edyta is coming to see you. I just love, love, love her style and her fabrics and yes she does seem like a beautiful gal inside and out. I hope I get to meet her some day. Gosh I would love to meet all of you gals someday. How are we going to arrange that?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
