What a beautiful quilt , good job. Barb

Your quilt is beautiful! Can you give me some information on the border pattern? I think it is just the design I have been looking for to do a border on a Round Robin quilt whose center is a feathered star. :)

Exceptional! Just an amazing quilt! This one is a blue ribbon winner !

Yes, the small stars are "thread only", no fabric and the big stars have fabric

The border pattern is the same as what is between the points of the stars. Not sure if that makes sense, but if you look on page 3 at the first picture (that one is actually a piece of a big star), but that is what is on each square of the border. I just alternated the colors.

Hmm, I'm not sure really. Maybe it is because it is so densely stitched? I really don't know...lol

This is a stunning quilt. Very appealing.

Which one are you working on? I did the Goosetracks but only in a wall hanging.

Yes it is.

Your work is lovely, the quilt beautiful, the border phenomenal. What a perfect creation!

Donnamarie 07-08-2013 05:21 AM

WOW! Your quilt is beautiful, I just love stars and the quilting in fantastic. Certainly a piece of work.

Barb in Louisiana 07-08-2013 05:34 AM

The quilt is stunning. You are truly to be congratulated. That is a very time consuming quilt. Hoop Sisters does do a great time with their digitizing which makes it a lot easier.

I have a work in progress - Goose Tracks. I really don't understand how to cover the seams on the back. Would you mind sharing a picture of the back of the quilt & tell me how you sewed the bias tape on the back? Or whatever method & covering you used?

Thanks so much for sharing!

Sending you a pm with pictures of how to do it. I, personally, did not like the sashing on the back so I put another backing on and did the old stitch in the ditch.

I was wondering if Warm and Natural would be stable enough for embroidery in the hoop. Apparently it worked just fine:)

oldquilter 07-09-2013 07:55 AM

Forgot to ask what machine you use....if you've said, I missed that.

It worked great for me. When I did the Goose Tracks I made a wallhanging so the battilizer was good for that because it is stiff. I didn't want this queen to be that stiff so took my chances on the Warm and Natural and I am happy with it. I used a Pfaff Creative vision 5.0 on this one and a Baby Lock Essante for the Goose Tracks.

JoanneS 07-12-2013 07:58 AM

Gorgeous, and the border is magnificent!

LovingIzabella 07-12-2013 08:01 AM
