I print them from the software Elle. The paper is in a tablet 9 x 12...so I trim it to 8 1/2 x 11 to fit through my printer. It works just great.

Third pic is from the front. (sashing will get trimmed, but I don't want to do it at the moment because this will be coming off, as they aren't the right blocks). From the back, at the moment, there is too much batting, but when I have the right blocks together, I will ttrim them so that they but up close and tack together. Then finally, from the front, I will quilt two lines, 1/4in from each block. The whole lot is only done with batting on the back. Once I have the whole top done, then I will add backing, and quilt in the ditch around each block to hold the backing onto the back. For me, this suits me because I can do all the quilting by hand, a bit at a time, and I'm not going to be handling a large quilt until right at the end, and then it will only be straight quilting lines. I decided that I'm not bothered that my quilting on the blocks won't show on the back.

You are welcome Rhue.
If I may, I would like to go off topic just a bit, as so many of you heard the story of the parachute skirt I was making earlier this year. Remember it had to have a 1.5in hem all around it (18 yards) that took me hours to hand sew. Well, I just got a link for the Performance Art, and it's clear that sausage skins were never anywhere near that hem, and they came up with a different solution. I could have machined a quarter inch hem in a fraction of the time. I especially like the end, LOL. Here is the link: http://www.blip.tv/file/3876727 |
I've been waiting impatiently for this one.....hmmm...I think I enjoyed the anticipation more than the "performance".... :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol: Your work looked great though Lesley!! :lol: :lol:

Wow Lesley, I have to say I felt kind of sorry for the performer at the end, but the skirt looked fabulous!

Interesting Lace! The skirt is beautiful, great job on it. I don't know what she was trying for. Was she suppossed to go airborn or just go in a circle? I think she screwed up on her controls or she would still be going in circles. Thanks for showing us!

You all missed Elle's comments that she put on my PDA.
"Houston, we have a problem...." I nearly cracked up with that one. |

I understand what you mean, I donīt do weird, but the Arts world can be like that.
