dlnewell Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 That turned out really well! I like how the circles seem to pop and how you stitched the white down in the little strip pieces! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anniemueller Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Perfect! I like how the patterned pieces are unquilted and pop. I love the use of straight lines in different directions (90 degrees) in the outer rectangular sections. Very well done!! Thank you for sharing.

Ann Wight Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Fabulous. I went back and looked at the top before quilting and I can hardly believe the transformation. Kudos to you. You made this into a very wonderful quilt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenscratch Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 When I see it, I see it like Lynn does. Those circles catch my eye and seem to be the main element of the quilt. I would have to quilt down all the background and then do something to make the circles pop. Maybe a simple spiral in each one, or a simple flower, just to nail them down. If they are small enough, I would leave them unquilted and do everything behind them. Is is definitely different. I agree with the suggestion to let her know she has a few pieces in backwards, then possibly offer to tell/show her how to remove and correct those. Since it is her first quilt I know it will be special to her, so why let it have obvious mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delores62305 Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 When I first saw the before picture of the quilt, I didn't care for it -- too busy for my taste. But seeing the "after" photo, WOW! I absolutely love it. Fantastic job, Andrea. You nailed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dramaqueenB Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 This is a fantastic example of the success of collaboration between piecer and quilter. I just love it, so much fun!! Your client took on a bunch and you made it sing. Great job!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggienoella Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I don't have to understand it to like it. And I absolutely love what you did with it. It's very different and I think that is part of the appeal for me. I'm going to be trying those swirls myself this week and I hope I do half as well as you. I love the swirls and pebbles combo.

JennieArns Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Wow - what a great job you have done. I love how you have added texture and dimension. Your client must be thrilled! If anyone has any advice re circle work on a Millie please? I am a newbie long arm user - and have absolutely no idea what to do re circles. I have Quilt Path installed and using advice I researched on line see you can get QP to do a circle going into quilt CAD and entering 50 (reflection of school geometry and pie) to get a circle shape drawn. Only problem is that the circle doesn't quite join up. I see there are various gadgets out there - quilt thingy, quilt lord, quiltazoid. But honestly after spending $$$$ on a new machine and QP, the last thing I want (or expected) is to purchase even more gadgets to do a circle. Any advice? I see there are various circle templates available but I am struggling at this point to keep the ruler and machine steady and in sync. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
