how to hide my shame from the quilt police
#41
I did frame (with glass) one large quilted wallhanging for my DH. Although it does protect it from getting dirty, it was costly and is HEAVY! Don't think I would do it again unless it was a very small one. :!:

Well, this is why I don't even consider entering my quilts in a quilt show. I get so impatient. I start off being really neat then I get to just wanting to get it finished so I can go to another project so the birds nests and dangling threads appear. I just trim everything as good as possible and go on from there. Busy backing patterns and matching bobbin thread help make things look neater, also.

So, Dottie, when do we get to see this artwork?? It sounds gorgeous. Who cares what the back looks like, and what the Quilt Police think? Put a back on it, enter it in the show, and let the real quilters enjoy it.

Thank you all for great ideas and encouragement..I did a search and thought Id share..It said you can quilt, embroider, put stuff all over the front, when done playing put on middle and backing then quilt it..All you did to the top alone is considered embellishment..not quilting..going through all layers is quilting...thank you again..dottiej
