Quilting

[Dani]

I am now a little further along. The main part of the quilt and boarder are done. Just trying g to figure out the sides with the fabric I have left over. Right now cutting squares of leftover to use with every other one of dark grey fabric. This is for granddaughter's big girl bed. Main colors grey,pink, & teal. Only second quilt ever made so do t judge to hard.

When I took the first couple pics I was trying to decide what my center square would be. I decided on the grey tone on tone.

Still working on it but coming along

Anymore quilting is becoming an lost art (sadly) I still have the one my Grandmother made me in 56, Lisa keeps it on our bed.

The generation today don't appreciate this stuff nor the time that is put into making these... A word to the young, these things are really warm!

My friend who recently passed had a quilting frame that hung from the ceiling. When her mom and I were sitting around the table talking she said that she had wanted me to get it cause she knew it would be used. I'm not holding my breathe. Her family has been thru so much right now with her passing, Harvey and sons home was flooded, they now have the two grandkids at their home. Seems like it just been one heartache after another for them. I already have a request for another one, but it will be for a baby blanket, so much smaller. I have learned to enjoy do them. Kinda relaxing.

Finally finished it up after work today. It's granddaughter's birthday gift from her Nana. She will be two in November and we recently found out that we will be getting another grand baby in April of next year. Already spreading the word, this Nana will be needing gift cards to the craft store for Christmas. The bed I have it on is a double but hers is a twin big girl bed.

As a kid I would help My Great Aunt set up Her Quilting frame on saw horses.

Wow very impressive. Nordstrom would sell something like this for a $1,000. They would simply slap some fancy European name on it and voila.

It really is beautiful. I've always valued something someone put a lot of time and thought into over a monetary value.

Thanks guys! It took me hours of sewing just hope it holds up for a few years. Only my second quilt, but I will be doing more. Hopefully one day, I will get around to making one for my bed. The price of fabric is outrageous so try to catch it on sale or with coupons. If I ever did these to sell, it would be a pretty penny just cause of all the time put in, but my Sweet Pea is so worth it .

The start of the next baby quilt. . .

They are not sewn together yet & still working on blocks. Decided to just do 9 blocks then a double inch dark grey boarder with a wider boarder of the blueish green floral. This is what they call a Gentleman's Fancy square block pattern.

Not my design. . . just my color scheme. Thank you. You are sweet for saying. Wanted to keep the colors basically the same since the girls will be sharing a room for awhile at least, but wanted new baby girl to have a different design than her big sister.

I just speak the truth Danil.

Finished the top but needed more batting for the back side so tagged along with hunny when he went to town. Sweet talked him into a butterfly stencils to go along the boarder. See if I love or hate

Bravo Danil.

Thought I would share a pic of the quilt top I'm working on right now. Its what you would call a sampler quilt. This is a picture of the 65" x. 65" quilt top. I had to add on a 16" boarder all the way around, which I used leftover material. It took me about a month to piece everything together and I got to start the actual quilting g part a couple days ago. Every time I talk to Granny she ask me . . . finished that quilt yet and I have to tell her, not yet.

 

[Dani]

This is my quilt done. . . Which was finished at the end of Feb with my quilt inspector doing her final inspection.

Looks like someone was trying to help! Nice quilt, do you hand sew all the quilting?

Thank you. I've only machine stitched my quilts. My hand stitch is not so nice. . .

Mine isn’t great either, but I enjoy it so if it isn’t perfect...oh well!

You should post a pic of something . I love seeing other people's projects and designs of quilts. I'm working on the next grand baby quilt due in Oct but had to put it aside for now to work on pork . . . Hoping next week after helping son 1 move I can get back to it.

Love the colors and design together! Gives a log cabin feel especially with the bear claws in the blocks.

It is a lot of work to do and hours spent. . . Even when doing on a machine so I can so appreciate the time and effort spent hand stitching it all. . . Whew it would take me forever. It's time I don't have right now I know with everything else. I do really like your design and may have to borrow that one for future reference. It always amazed me how different blocks look when put together. Just beautiful!!

My attempts at machine quilting...well, not so good!

I have been considering to try my hand at the hand quilting, but I really need to get some kind of frame first. I do know that I would still machine stitch the quilt top first though, but I like the swirl designs that people use when quilting the tops and think hand stitching would look a little more uniformed than doing it on the machine.

For a frame, I like a simple PVC frame you can make yourself from plumbing parts, with split pipes (4) to hold your work in place. I bought mine from a sewing store, but really the only difficult part would be splitting the 4 clamping pieces. I am self taught, so I really don’t know enough to give advice as to the best technique for the quilting, but I put the center of my quilt in my frame and work outwards. Sometimes I baste the quilt, but safety pins seem to be just as good or better than basting. Then I quilt “down the ditch” for each piece, going all the way through to the back because I like the pattern that creates. I like the stitching to relate to the top pieces.
