quiltmonkey Posted June 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Originally posted by lyonden Boy Shawna, you didn\'t even let the box in the house did you. Great quilting!! I love how you brought the quilting outside of the squares into the background. I wouldn\'t have thought of that. It really makes it pop. They are going to love it. Carol and all: I have to admit that at first, I just quilted inside each of the star blocks, and later on (because I didn\'t get the effect I wanted -- I wanted MORE sparkle!) I went back and did more (extended outside the star blocks) and it really worked and I was pleased with the result. As you all know, it\'s really hard to really see this through photos -- the pictures just don\'t have the same effect as if you were to see this in person. Because the camera lens is much different than the lens of our eyes -- it shows up differently in the photos. It really does look good (sparkly) quilting outside the block and into the background sky area. Thanks, everyone, for your comments and support.

lym95 Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 I too love the quilting out of the blocks. It has a certain hippie, rebellious, "stick it to the man" kind of quality.:cool: I also particularly like the blue corner. It looks like a fiery, turbulent sun. Sorry, Margie\'s gone for the afternoon so there\'s no one here to limit my posting fun... Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted June 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Rebellious and Hippie Stick it to the man! Yah that\'s me all right! (I\'ve lived in Alaska too long!) We have quite a few of those hippie, "stick it" kinda folks living up here! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lym95 Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Sounds like my kind of place. I\'m afraid Margie might be a little too \'school-marmish\', but she was a hippie once too. Thirty three years of teaching algebra and geometry have rounded the sharp edges a bit. Unfortunately, my rough edges are still pretty pronounced...

SonjaHammond Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Oh my Gosh Miss Shana! You really made this quilt sparkle. Your customer is going to be doing the "happy dance" when she lays eyes on this beauty. I love all of the blocks. You are really using those great techniques you have learned. Great Job!

quiltfarm Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Great quilting Shana, I love the way the quilting flows out into the quilt. I bet you did have too much fun playing with all those great threads. Looks to me like you have the backtracking nailed pretty well. Thanks for such great photos.
