o2b Quilting Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 I had the honor of teaching this class a few years ago at the local quilt shop. Now one of the students finished theirs and brought it to me to quilt. The pattern is call Tulip Time by Smith Street Designs and the gal who did the emboidery applique and piecing is Lois Fye. It took more than 22 hrs total. Free motion SID and around appliques and background fills and then I let the IQ do the sashings and borders. I posted the pictures on my facebook https://www.facebook...87546049&type=1 or my Flickr account: http://www.flickr.co...57632345750035/ I used two layers of batting: Dream blend 70/30 on the bottom and Dream Wool on the top. I used Bottom Line thread from Superior on top and bottom for stitching you can see and Superior's Monopoly clear matt of the SID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o2b Quilting Posted December 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Heidi: It still amazes me that I can spend as much time doing the SID as I do on the actual quilting. For a long time I thought I was just slow at it but each time I try to hurry when doing SID I end up unhappy and grab the ripper. I have now resigned myself to the fact that I will always be "slow and fussy" when SIDing. Some quilts really do need to have the SID done and then others look great without it. My class sample for this quilt was queen size while this student decided to make hers smaller. As I look at hers and then at mine (which was hanging on the wall at the end of my machine's table) I keep thinking that I should take my binding off and frog the entire thing and custom quilt it. Mine was quilted edge to edge by someone else as I had not even thought about owning/quilting my own quilts. This was the quilt that put the idea of owning my own long arm and doing custom work in my brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibbyG Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 This is so beautiful, I'd frog yours and redo it. You'll be happier. Just do a little bit at a time and in no time it'll be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyAboutQuilting Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Lucy, it's soooooooooooo beautiful! I'm sure Lois is just thrilled with it! All of your quilting is beautiful, but I especially like your pebbles. You did a great job on those and they make a wonderful background fill on those blocks!
