quiltmonkey Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 :cool: OK kiddos, grab your shades and check this one out. :cool: Hey, just thought I'd share a customer quilt (a lady I work with) I did this past weekend using my Hartley fence to do the circles and then I quilted sun light beams out to the edges of the block. There were 30 blocks total in the top, plus three pillow shams I quilted, so I had lots of practice making circles! The focus fabric has different types of suns in it. (Thanks, Myrna for the sun beam idea and inspiration...she demo'd this in her Hartley Fence DVD) :cool: My coworker friend was very pleased. I used gold colored Highlights in the top and Bottom Line in the bobbin. It was a fun project. I am grateful for my fellow coworker friend's trust to let me "practice" on her UFO quilt tops! She is going to bring me more tops in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandraC Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I love it, Shana. In fact I love it so much I might get a tattoo like it!!! Actually, this is one of my favourite motifs, only with a spiral in the middle then the rays just like yours. I've wanted a tattoo for a while and a couple of months ago decided that this was it! Now, just to get my gumption up!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Great job, Shana! How was it to set up the fence? I have mine but haven't had the opportunity to play with it yet......I need to make the time, I guess. Also, I think I need to get the dvd......I have the book but I learn things better when I can see them done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Hi Laurie. Setting up the fence was way too easy. Let's say maybe 5 minutes max? Myrna's DVD is great. I like how she repeats things...(drills it into your brain). I love books for inspiration, but I really like to see things demonstrated...it all makes better sense to me to see how things are done and it removes the mystery.

kellysuequilter Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Wow! That looks so good! I've got a customer who wants concentric circles in various sizes all over her quilt so I'm going to get lots of practice with my fence. I really hope I can do as good as you.
