I think your quilting looks beautiful and you're going to have so much fun using individual quilting designs for each block. :)
Your Chaco liner tool is one of my favorites - and yes, blue, yellow and pink would be good additions. I like my Frixion pens, markers and highlighters. I've never had a trace of them show up after laundering - not even the "ghosting" that shows up after ironing the lines away. Years ago, I tested the Crayola washable markers and wasn't happy with how poorly they washed out. A few weeks ago, I noticed that everyone seemed to really like them, so I did another test of the Ultra Clean version (or whatever they're called.) I colored heavily on a piece of washed muslin, marked the colors with a Sharpie and ironed the lower half of the test area, really getting it hot and waited a day or two. It went into the laundry without any pre-treating or bleach and it came out sparkling clean - only the Sharpie labels remained. So I would not hesitate to use those now, either - except for quilts which aren't going to be washed right away - wall-hangings, table runners, etc. Best of luck! I am really enjoying all the pictures posted to this thread! |

Anyone still making their SBS? I took mine out of the UFO draw last week and made up a couple more blocks, with it being July and Red White and Blue is in the air. That Blazing star block was a challenge!

Wow those blocks are gorgeous!!
Good to see Sylvia came back to life again :D :D |
Thanks, Anael! These 6" blocks are a bit out of my comfort zone. I think this will take me forever! I have been reading Jennifer Chiaverini's Elm Creek novels so I got all inspired to keep going with it.

Those look wonderful, NZquilter! Still loving the patriotic colorway. Will be amazing when completed….so, go girl!

Dotty!! So good to see you again!
I'm heading over to Harriet's Journey now! I had no idea you started a group too! See you there :D :D |
NZquilter, lovely blocks! I gave both the quilts I finished away, and they are being enjoyed. I decided 2 smaller ones was better for me, than 1 large one.
