sdaurio Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 I just finished my second quilt on the long arm, my second quilt completely done on the long arm This is Bonnie Hunter's Orca Bay. I did an all over feather in the middle for texture. No marking at all. I loved the all over feather with that was posted about a week ago, but I just couldn't get that one down, I'll keep trying. I should have marked the first border and I think it would have turned out better. But it's for me so no big deal. You all are so inspiring for a newbie. I used bottom line on top and on bottom, I wanted the thread to just sink in after washing. I think I'm adding a link for 3 pictures, we'll see if it really works http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YQnacZX_HxU/Txs8fMlVqqI/AAAAAAAAA5U/spCsTXZiE5c/s400/IMG_0009.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 I'm not sure why you don't think you got this down. It looks beautiful. I love your colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little House Creations Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 that's just beautiful! I hope my Orca Bay turns out as nice - but I didn't use bright colors like you did. Your quilting is great also - did you say this is only your second quilt on the longarm??? WOW! Nice job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judi Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Sue that is very nice! Great job on the quilt fabric choices and the quilting is awsome! Love the camera angle on that close-up shot - cool way to look at things.... (other than getting back up off of the floor that is ) thanks for posting the photos - you are doing great! I never would have tried or made such great feather on my second quilt..... You should see that one! I don't even like the fabrics choices and it has such huge and sloppy meandering... yucky.....

RitaR Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 its beautiful,, can I be a newbie too??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Linda S Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 I see what you mean. The quilting really sucks. (YEAH, RIGHT!). It looks great. Nothing to beat yourself up about. I find it very difficult to believe you've not machine quilted before. If you are indeed a newbie, you're doing just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdaurio Posted January 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 I've done a lot of machine quilting on my DSM, but not the long arm. I'm just a bit insecure about it that's all. Thanks all for the encouraging words, much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borderline Quilter Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Wow, that's a fantastic quilt but I'm thinking you must have had a quilting machine before .... surely, you can't poosibly be a newby creating such a beautiful quilt!

Guest Linda S Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Ah, I thought you had quilting experience. Quilting on a domestic machine is actually harder than on a longarm. The important part is the visual memory, and you've obviously retained that. Your feathers are lovely. As you do more and more, I'm sure you will display a formidable talent. Good job!
