A Shout Out about my Pixilated Quilt
This is my shout out the QuiltingBoard members for their wonderful influence on improving my quilting skills. Below you will see a picture of my Pixilated Quilt. So named because my 5 yr old DGD says that quilt looks like a MineCraft Sword! (because it looked pixilated...hence the name,,,)
So a shout out and thanks to JennR8R for her tutorial on a scrappy log cabin pattern thread named, "Turning 2.5" Scraps into a Log Cabin Block" posted on 2/16/2016. I used her pattern and technique. It was very easy to follow.
Next, a shout out and thanks to DJMat, who hosts swaps 4 times a year, such as her last one "Winter 2.5" charm swap" posted on 1/16/2017. We each get about 500 charms a swap from her, and QB members participation. I used these charms in the quilt.
Next, a shout out and thanks to PaperPrincess, whose thread, "2016 Fabric Moratorium" posted 1/1/2016, taught me to think about using my stash first, buy new 2nd. I used my stash of mostly white/light fat quarters for my backing, and 2.5" square swapped charms for my binding.
Next, a shout out and thanks to You-Tube Sharon Schamber-Perfect Straight Binding, who got me to use diluted elmers school glue and tiny metal tips to glue baste the binding on, square the corners, and connect the ends.
I sent this to the local longarmer, so I did not get to try the elmers glue backing technique...but I will on my next quilt that I quilt.
These are all basic techniques to quilters, but they were new to me. Thank you. QuiltingBoard Members for all you teach me. Hugs all around!!!!!

And to think it all started with you! I saw your thread in the tutorial section, and said, "I can do that". You are a very good teacher and a source of inspiration to me. Thanks so much.....
