Oldntatted, I don't think she did individual squares, she probably used stratas and cut them in a tube to get the look of individual looking squares. Your quilt is gorgeous. I love the colors she used in the background, it gives it a real movement.

Yiou wife was right about this months quilt you made it is beautiful.

Mandie your quilt is spectacular.

Quilters of dq's you are doing a great job, so much eye candy.

OLDNTATTED, You want us to send you our PMS? You sure about that?! ;) I'm sure my husband would be thrilled.

I like the term "quilters." It's unisex. I'm bad about calling a group of everyone "guys." I'm sure the ladies take offense when I do that.

More great quilts! Love them all! Keep 'em coming! http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979904@N03/?saved=1

LOL Chele, I never felt offended by the term "guys" as I use that all the time! I know that Oldntatted might feel left out if we only used Ladies or girls! But it is hard at times to know who is male of female unless they use a given name ... tom, george, john... etc.. The new signatures are helping immensely in that area :) All and all, I think everyone is curtious here on the board.

where do you do those fancy signatures at???? how do you do it? I like them but do not know how it is done.

Here is the quilt I made for tslowery. She had just gotten back from a trip and having trouble finding her camera.

Cjaye, your quilt is beautiful. I really like the color, and the pattern is very nice.

Thanks for posting pics!! I am so glad you like it!!

I have to say this swap has been GREAT!! All the quilts are fabulous. Especially the one made for me, cause it has my Dogger on it!

I actually started out with a block I found in EQ7 somewhere, altered a few things, modified it to be a paper-pieced block, then had at it! The block itself has... I think... 112 pieces. I struggled with getting the decorative stitching to work right because my seams kept hanging up the feed-dogs, even with a walking foot. Then, my border gave me fits. I almost didn't send it... and was going to start over, but then I had to just accept that I cannot always be so hard on myself. I am so glad it was well-received.

Actually... it was - as far as the time spent... yours took longer to make. There were way more pieces in the one I made you and I actually made two of the block sets so I could make my mom one too. This month's was more challenging to put together, but I was able to get it done faster because I didn't do all the free-motion quilting that I did on yours.

Now I am thinking about my next doll quilt.... I bet I won't be able to make something simple... it just isn't in my nature. I figure as long as I keep getting sent lovely doll quilts in the mail, I will keep sending out lovely doll quilts.

:-)

Got my doll quilt today. Thanks letquilt.
