dtreusch Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Very pretty!! I'm considering purchasing Renae's Ray's, but I'm not sure yet if I want the larger or smaller set. Which one did you use for this? Debbi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLJQuilts Posted April 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 I used both, but you could get by with the small one, I also bought a coulpe sets of the Arcs they also help. I can't wait to use it again , that was just a pactice piece. Marylyn MLJQuilts@bresnan.net Sewnsewquilting.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLM Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 I love the way that you quilted up your sample, it looks like you had a lot of fun doing this. It's beautiful. Janet Mohler Colorado Springs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Marylyn, You may have problems with pictures - but not with quilts or Renae's products. Great job. I too am considering purchasing her Rays or Arcs, just don't know which ones to get - there are so many different sizes, how do you know which one to get? Beautiful job, and just "playing"!!

catsigler Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Beautiful job on your wholecloth, Marilyn. What an inspiration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewingupastorm Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Your quilt came out wonderful....................it is not so structured as many whole cloth quils and has a more fun playful feel to it..............I just love what you did! As for deciding which of Renea's tools to get first. I had a customer (who is also a good friend) that wanted me to outline cirlces on her quilt and I had no idea how that was going to happen. I finally found the arc set online and realized that might work. Well I got the smallest of the sets as I needed the 19" inch one. Well let me tell you it was the prefect tool for the job.................no matter that the cost of the arcs put a serious dent in the money I will make on the quilt. Now I am dreaming up other things I can do with my arc set......................my set goes from 12" to 23". Ever since I first saw the rays I knew I wanted them...............they are still on my list of things I want! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patch Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Droooooooollllllllllll............ Here I go again. WOW, Marylyn!!! Double WOW!!!!!! (had to double the exclamation points too). I am so out of words for these quilts. But I have to say something about this one. Golly gee willikers!! Eyeballs now rolling on floor. What a beautiful first wholecloth quilt. No one would ever GUESS you'd never done one. Be very proud of yourself, ok? Congratulations!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramona-quilter Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Oh my, that is stunning. It knocks my socks off. I love the center with the concentric feather wreaths and echo. Those feathers are so different, they draw my eye...not formal but not funky. You invented a new feather! And I also like the use of the ribbon candy spine or separator. I see the arcs in the corners. I don't have Renae's arcs. I first saw Renae's Rays in a Myrna Ficken class in Salt Lake City. Renae came with her award-winning quilt Radiance of the Son which was still a work-in-progress at that time, it was all marked up. But you could see the work from the rays and the promise of what would be quilted later. I bought the rays on the spot. I bought the small ones. I hate to admit it but I have not even tried to use them. Marilyn - what did you use to mark the rays and feathers? Did you use chalk, Marvey, Mark-b-gone,?

MLJQuilts Posted April 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Well I have to say I had a ball Quilting this. I did all my circles and lines first then, the rest was all free hand work . I used a chalk pencil to do my markings. Thank you for looking and sending your comments.

dancingstitcher Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Fantastic contemporary design Marylyn. Cathey and I took Karen's course last month. My cloth is still folded. How about yours Cathey? The pictures above are very inspiring. I'm glad that you made a mistake in posting a picture because I could see the detail. You're an inspiration Marylyn. Love your background fill around the diamonds. Vicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renae Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Marylyn, your quilt is beautiful!!! I can't believe it is your first whole cloth quilt.......but then I haven't tried one yet. Scared ......I guess....someday I hope to take a class or get enough guts to try. But yours is simply wonderful .......I love it!!! Great job!
