Gorgeous quilt ... definitely a WINNER!

WOW gorgeous quilt.

Thanks to each of you for the great response. I will be sure to check with the quilt guild doing the show. Unfortunately, it's just a small guild and they don't have the bucks to pay a judge...which I think stinks...but oh well. After this one I am thinking about entering it in the Jefferson Quilt show in January. I have travelled there for years to attend it and it's a goody and I get to meet up with my "old" guild and spend the day catching up.
I had thought about entering in the Red River Quilers Show, but wasn't really ready for that one...baby steps first! Guess we'll see how this all goes...will report when I know somethig! Hugs to all out there in quilter's world! |

Oh my gosh! Drue you made one astonishing Quilt! Sure to be a winner! When is or was the show? I've never seen anything like your applique pictorial quilt. It looks very Arts & Crafts and I love it! From the gorgeous border to all those little critters, it is truly Beautiful!

Love your quilt; it is definitely the winner.
I make my sleeve about 9 inches wide by length of the quilt and on the short ends I shave an angle from one corner to the other corner going inward by 1/2 inch so that one sided is shorter than the other side. Then I hem the short sides and fold in half making a sharp crease. I now have a recessed hem under the top hem on both ends of my sleeve. This keeps the side hems from being on top of each other. I sew the raw edges onto the quilt when I do the binding. Then when I am sewing the binding down by hand, I sew the sides and bottom parts of the sleeve to the quilt leaving a small gap (lift up the bottom center crease about 1/2 inch) for the pole. Hope this makes sense. Others have posted tutes and they are good too. Rumbols |
Your quilt reminds me of the story about Bambi! It is beautiful.
