ffq-lar 3,612 Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Because you have soooo many options! It stops your brain. It's yours. You'll have it and look at it forever. After you finish, you'll second-guess yourself, thinking "this new thing I learned would have been better there". But no matter what you stitch, you'll smile every time you look at it. Enjoy the time you have to finish something of your own, Miss Dell! delld and DoryJM 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HeyJude 5 Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Thanks for showing how you are doing this. As a newbie, I love seeing everyone's quilts, but have so much to learn to get to that level. Seeing the sequence of your quilting is very helpful. I have a huge quilt yet to do that is a carpenters star, so maybe I can apply this method to that? Beautiful quilting! Judy delld 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
delld 2,047 Posted July 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Thank you Judy. Here is the row I'm on now. I do the CC on the outside of the diamond first then come back and do the inside with the fill design as I travel around again. 20150725_182653 by Dell Dunman, on Flickr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeyJude 5 Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Dell, I like how you are changing the pattern as you progress out from the center, but are keeping a consistency in the overall look. Nice! Judy delld 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cagey 770 Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 The quilting is lovely. Is that paper pieced? Cagey delld 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
delld 2,047 Posted July 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Cagey this was a Aunt Martha kit where only the lone star fabric was provided. I added the black, yellow border and multi stripe border. It is not paper pieced. Just matched most of the seams and pinned. Yes there are a few that did not meet right on.

delld 2,047 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 So I'm using Lisa Calle's Quilter's Proline 2 to do 60 degree crosshatching. I have one of the wonderful summer colds and like like, well you know. So I quilted part of the first black blocks using Quilt Path. That was great. Then I started the crosshatching and wow what a mess I made. So I frogged. So then I got my chalk out and drew lines to follow abd taped the ruler. Now it's PURRRRRRFECT! Cold isn't going to mess with me today! 20150730_081551 by Dell Dunman, on Flickr 20150729_182421 by Dell Dunman, on Flickr RitaR, judyr and jandcembroidery 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
