Star Spin queen size, I keep putting it aside, it's driving me mad and it's one that I just can't work on for too long at a time. The pattern is just ughhh......

I started a double wedding ring 10 years ago. I am happy to say I am finishing it! I started it when my son was in high school. I promised it to him and his wife when they got married 4 years ago. They will get it by Thanksgiving to also commemorate his graduation from medical school. All things in God's good time!

One of the patterns I'm working on now from Moda BakeShop is turning out to be the hardest for me. I honestly don't know why.
DWR - just keep working at it! I switched to hand-piecing the melons and centers (I paper / machine pieced the arcs) so I'm optimistic I'll have this one done for the holidays. |
Never attempted the DWR, grannie warned me of this quilt. But one day I'll tackle it, just not soon.

The very first real quilt pattern I did was LeMoyne Star, all by hand. Didn't know what the fudge I was doing but I fell in love with the pattern and the border fabric I found. I look at the quilt now and just shake my head. Sometimes not knowing what you are getting into is not really a bad thing. Made me realize how much more I really needed to learn.

the trick to curved piecing is in clipping the inside curves to about 1/16th of an inch from the seam line before sewing. I teach my student to stitch with the stretchy piece underneath.
Pin to the seam from the cut edge instead of from the body of the piece, this prevents it from walking out as you stitch. julia |
Right now I am working on a Broken Dishes pattern
and boy is it giving me fits!!! |
I started a DWR and it's waiting to be finished. I don't know if it will ever be done. lol
|
Gosh, thought I was the only one that had trouble with DWR and mine is supposed to be easier. It's Eleanor Burns pattern with the fusible interfacing. Will never do another one if I can get this one finished. :hunf:

I was in the LQS working on my very first quilt in one of the class sessions, and there was another woman there who was also working on her very first quilt. It was a DWR for her daughter's wedding present! To this day I can't believe that she took that on as a first project. It was giving her fits, but she was getting it done (with a lot of help from the LQS owner).
