Kathleen Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Thanks again you guys! I just bought a "rope" ruler, so I am going to give that a whirl and see how it works and I will post something of that when I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Tell me what "rope" ruler you have. I have a quilt coming in with borders - it is a western themed quilt and they want a rope int he border. Been looking around. Let me know how your ruler works for you.

quiltaholi_518 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I have to ask, how did you get the rays to be darker? Darker thread only? Or did you shadow something under it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judi Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Very nice quilt! I Love it!!! You should be very busy when people see this baby! How did you mount it? Is it just folded around a frame? No actual binding or finished edge?? just curious...... It was fun reading the first page - I kept seeing "ChattyKathy" having this whole talk by herself!!

MarthaProvencher Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I agree with the rest. Love the subtle but effective color choice and the incredible McT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Thanks everyone for your kinds words! Mary Beth, the rope rulers I have are from quiltersrule.com, I bought the smaller (has the 1.5" & 3" size) and then the bigger one is 4.5" & 6". The directions are printed right on the acrylic too. On my practice fabric I felt a bit awkward at first, but you get a groove going on and it becomes pretty fun. It would really look great on a western quilt. Caron, the darker rays are quilted in a tight paisley or three loop tear drop (?) and the thread is a variegated Rainbow, I can\'t recall the name of it right at the minute. I will try to post a close up photo... if I can!! LOL I used Renae\'s Amazing Rays to draft all the registraion lines for this project. Can\'t imagine being able to accomplish something this size with out those tools! Love em! Judi I had a good laugh when I read your post, but when I was talkin\' to maself, it wasn\'t so funny!!

Marlette Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Cathy It\'s gorgeous! Congrats on the technical stuff too I also have trouble with that stuff. Mechanics I can handle easily, computer stuff can drive me to drink. Of course I\'m gone after 2 glasses of wine so that\'s cheap! I love the verse on the quilt. What a great combo. Is it original and may I borrow it for a graduation quilt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennan100 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 So pretty! I\'d like to see closeups also, I really like the color choices on this, and you McT is great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Judi, I forgot to answer your question! Sorry!! The project is on a frame, edges are just stapled behind and then a carpenter (who is also a pre-engineering student at the same college) custom made an oak frame that was then mounted over the stretch frame and secured into the studs in the wall.

Kathleen Posted March 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Yup, I coulda used a glass of wine that night I was trying to post the first pictures!! I am glad you like the verse and you are most welcome to use it. I have four graduation quilts to get rockin\' and rollin\' on too, but these days I find I like quilting alot more that piecing tops!! I think I am might become a whole cloth queen if I\'m not carefull!!! LOL Originally posted by Marlette Cathy It\'s gorgeous! Congrats on the technical stuff too I also have trouble with that stuff.
