Bekah Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 what perfect quilting for that top. It is lovely Shannon. It just makes me more sad I wasn't able to get it together enough to play with the rest of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonnie H Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 DoodleBug, the Baptist Fan looks great! I can't imagine free-handing that design, so WOWSA, excellent job!!! My blocks came in the mail yesterday and I just picked them up this morning. I got blocks all the way across the oceans from Japan and Australia and from the upper part of our continent, the North Pole and Canada. All the blocks I received are fabulous. Thank you, ladies. This is truly and international quilt. I can't wait to find time to put it together and get it quilted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janette Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Freehand baptist fans are very impressive. You made a great job. You must have such control of your machine and your table must be so level.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busy Quilting Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 I too was playing freehand baptist fans last week. The custoner wanted red thread, it had wide red ricrac in places so had to be quilted from the front. Different coloured asian fabrics, so the baptist fans worked. My idea to do these came from 365 days of quilting patterns. Bonnie Hunter has an article on hand quilted freehand baptist fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUDY-MN Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Shannon, Thanks for doing the block exchange. Received mine on Friday, can't wait to play with them. Almost done piecing a quilt top that has 4,500 plus pieces in it! My goal is to finish that today. Missing a Twins game today with my DH as I'm not feeling that great , so he took our oldest son with instead. So like off to finish then to play with the blocks....

Littleshoes Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Wow I can't wait to get mine together! I see my block too! Took my set to the retreat this weekend. I didn't get to sew them together, but I had to look through each and everyone to see what we got. Then the other ladies had to touch and go through them all too! What fun! Yours is amazing and I hope I can do my justice as it's wonderful and deserves something special here. thanks so much again... I can't wait for the next one.

doodlebug Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Originally posted by lindasewsit How in the world did you do those Freehanded? I really want to know! here's a drawing of my stitching path. every other arch is a trackback on the supporting arch. i stop and started each row of fans. i got about three rows of fans before i had to advance the quilt. i tried to keep the archs at 1 to 1.25 inches wide.... i'll add- i've been practicing this on paper for a couple months (while the deadline of the swap ticked by)...
