Guest Linda S Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Okay, let's back up here for a minute. I think that should have said "this is a quilt for a customer who was privileged to have me quilt this for her." It is simply stunning, Kay. You have such talent and artistry in your quilting. I'd love to be you when I grow up, even though I'm probably tons older than you are! CindyT and Quilting Heidi 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Borderline Quilter 187 Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Thanks for all of your wonderful comments! I'll try to answer some of your questions.... This quilt top was a beauty before I quilted it. I didn't have a plan, I started with the flying geese, not because they were the first border but because I knew what to quilt there, from there I took the straight line quilting into the sashings in the middle of the quilt, then everything evolved. It was a lot of work, I'm not sure if I intended it to be so much work. I only use a purple air erasable marker or white chalk on customer quilts and mark on the frame but try to do very little marking. I used Ronda Beyer's large 'S' Ruler, one Renae's Arcs and Deloa's Castle for the straight lines in the sashings, I find a straight edge ruler faster/easier for the straight lines. I have had my Millie for 2 1/2 years, had a 9 inch machine on a frame before that, I quilt part time at the moment, my log....says 46 hours quilting but I know I sometimes I forget to make an entry...... Thanks again for all of your wonderful comments. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
