LindaB Posted September 7, 2007 Report Posted September 7, 2007 This quilt is my very very own quilt. It is a Fons & Porter BOM that I pieced last year. All batiks, I just love NY Beauties..... Check out my Webshots link and take a peek. It's not done, it's in "progress".... The borders, there are 7 of them or 8, can't remember.... I finally decided to just SID them all. Enjoy!!! http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2837823600014590774LcORmP
Guest LA Posted September 7, 2007 Report Posted September 7, 2007 Linda, You did a beautiful job piecing that NYB and Quilting it!! It's almost a quilt!!!
quiltmonkey Posted September 7, 2007 Report Posted September 7, 2007 LindaB, Well, I just checked out your New York Beauty photos and yes, it is a beauty, just like the Central Oregon Beauty that quilted it!!!
Charlene Posted September 7, 2007 Report Posted September 7, 2007 Linda, You are doing a great job with the quilting. That is a lot of SID to do and it looks like you are doing well with it. It is a beautiful quilt. I'll look forward to seeing the finished project. Char
PattyJo Posted September 7, 2007 Report Posted September 7, 2007 Linda B - I love your NY Beauty too. It looks like a beautiful job of both piecing and quilting. I'm looking forward to seeing the pics of it all finished. I love the batik fabrics. Good color choices - It just All Good!!
sewingupastorm Posted September 7, 2007 Report Posted September 7, 2007 Linda it is looking great! I have a top myself and yours makes me want to go dig it out I have a question off topic for you. On the same album you have a swirl design. What template did you use for that and how did you nest those so that it looks ike one continuous line. I have a customer that has been discussing a swirl patten on her quilt......................in fact I posted a photo of the top yesterday and the title of my post is something "how would you quilt this".
LindaB Posted September 7, 2007 Author Report Posted September 7, 2007 I'm glad you all liked 'beauty'.....Thanks.....!!! I'll post more pics when it's finished. Sewingupastorm - the swirl design your asking about is the "Swirls" King from Circle Lord.....I love this template and look forward to using it more on some other quilts.... It's fun working on our quilts....I'll encourage you to go dig out yours and share with us too... Patty Jo: This was a Fons & Porter BOM, the color choices were there's. I did not like one of the fabrics. I had the top all put together and kept looking at it, and finally decided to take out 4 blocks, replace the offending fabric, much better...... It's been so much fun working on this quilt. Glad you all liked our "show-n-tell.....:cool:
sewingupastorm Posted September 7, 2007 Report Posted September 7, 2007 Linda here is my top. The blocks are 6 inches. I am still mulling over border treatment. http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2668919710053837050bZyeQc I guess my photo has too many pixels so there is the link to my webshots. I would love some input on border threatment.
sewingupastorm Posted September 7, 2007 Report Posted September 7, 2007 Ok I was playing with my picture program and let me see if I figured this out. If I did you will see my photo here: !
sewingupastorm Posted September 7, 2007 Report Posted September 7, 2007 Ok I think I finally figured out how to reduce the pixel size!
Mary Beth Posted September 7, 2007 Report Posted September 7, 2007 LindaB, Love the NYB, the color choice is perfect. The quilting is just right...love it. Sewingupastorm: Great looking NYB....I gotta get busy on mine now.
sewingupastorm Posted September 7, 2007 Report Posted September 7, 2007 They are fun Mary Beth..................Linda's makes me want to get mine done!
LindaB Posted September 8, 2007 Author Report Posted September 8, 2007 Oh my gosh....SUAStorm...... Your quilt is absolutely FABULOUS!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!! You should get some borders on it and get it quilted too.....Hmmmmm borders????? My first thought is you could do piano key with your leftover fabrics if you have enough.....Maybe someone will chime in here and have some cool suggestions.....Oh, man alive I love your quilt..... I've got Karen Stone's book I've been eyeballing, but have to too many other quilts to make...:mad: So girls get busy and let's see some more Show-n-tell..... Get busy on yours too Mary Beth......
sewingupastorm Posted September 8, 2007 Report Posted September 8, 2007 Linda I really want to quilt my NYB as it has been a top about 2 years now...................way to long. Actually I have quite a few tops ready to go but since I quilt for others I do not get to many of my own. I do need to get on a border and get going on it. Glad this discussion came up as I just love the one you are working on. I hope you finish soon so we can see photos of the finished quilt! You should enter it somewhere.
CucumberQuilting Posted September 8, 2007 Report Posted September 8, 2007 Thanks Linda B! guess what I'm loading this morning? A NY Beauty wallhanging in Batiks. Guess I'll have to take a closer look for some quilting ideas Georgeous, it's really georgeous. Can't wait to see it up close, gal. Love ya. ~~ Eva H.
LindaB Posted September 9, 2007 Author Report Posted September 9, 2007 Eva.....We'd like to see pictures of your "beauty" when your done. I'm a real slow-poke, so you'll finish way before me.... Is this quilt yours or a customers???
TishMarshall Posted September 9, 2007 Report Posted September 9, 2007 Linda, your NYB is so beautiful! I love Batik's and how they look. SUAStorm, your quilt is beautiful too! So glad you all shared. Tish
Bekah Posted September 9, 2007 Report Posted September 9, 2007 SUAS and Linda, gorgeous quilts. thank you for sharing.
chickenscratch Posted September 9, 2007 Report Posted September 9, 2007 Linda, It's beautiful. Did you dye the fabrics yourself, or purchase them. I love the colors.
chickenscratch Posted September 9, 2007 Report Posted September 9, 2007 Sewingupastorm, Those colors are perfect for that pattern. How do you plan to quilt it?
sewingupastorm Posted September 9, 2007 Report Posted September 9, 2007 Teresa I plan on some swirls and some spikes and so other things. I figure when I get it loaded I will just see what it says to me and just go with it.
LindaB Posted September 10, 2007 Author Report Posted September 10, 2007 Teresa: Thanks, I love the colors too. This quilt was a block of the month through Fons & Porter, so the fabrics were their choices. I have to admit there was one fabric that was in 4 blocks I didn't care for so I went shopping for a replacement.... Thanks again....
