WestieMom Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 You're teasing us. Practice? This is gorgeous!!! I see lots of custom quilting in your future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MastiffMomQlt Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 OOOOOh!!! I think it's REALLY, REALLY beautiful! I know we are our own worst critic's and we see every single bobble or wobble on our own work, but no one else does. It is beautiful & quite a jaw dropper. I love it & would be happy to take your 'practice' piece off your hands GREAT JOB!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdaurio Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Thanks Judy and others who had such wonderful things to say. I must have spent 40-50 hours quilting this one. Originally posted by Judy Bland Wow Sue, this just goes to show that "practice maketh perfect" looks amazing, how long did it take to create this beautiful quilt?

cmkeindl1 Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 WOW - that is incredible! If that is practice, can't wait to see more from you!!!!! Have to add - what batting(s) did you use and what threads? LOVE your blog! On "JoanandBobsquarepants" what did you mean by a ruler for the "circles" - not the tiny pearls?

bobbi Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 OMG! Sue, I'm inspired! FAntastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdaurio Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Thanks!! Batting - 70/30 blend and poly down both from quilters dream. Thread - bottom line - 2 strands on the top (green and white) and lace white on the bottom. My machine just loves 2 strands of bottom line on the top. Squarepants quilts - in the colored center square, I quilted a circle with a flowerish thing in the middle. I used the hartley fence for those circles. The pearls on the feather spines were done free hand. Hope that helps Originally posted by cmkeindl1 WOW - that is incredible! If that is practice, can't wait to see more from you!!!!!

sdaurio Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Thanks! Oh boy is the back pieced! I used every last scrap from this quilt and sewed it together, then just added what I had (that's the part that you see in the picture). Really wish it would have been a solid back.
