deb426 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 It's beautiful. What is the design called? My grandmother used to make quilts and made me one of those sampler quilts made up of all different patterns that I still have. I tried quilting one time and quickly found out I did not have the necessary patience. Wish I did because I think quilts are wonderful.

Lorrie Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Beautiful work Silver. I believe the design is a cathedral window. I could be wrong but it looks like the same design my friend is working on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SliverOfWax Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) heh heh, you'll be waiting awhile. It's extreme slow going.I always have more than one going at a time. I just finished this one a couple of weeks ago:....and am in process of pinning and starting the quilting on this one (with the help of my little girl):...and then there's this one that I've just started figuring out colors for and won't start actually working on 'til who knows when. It's a Loralie Harris panel that I've cut up into individual applique pieces : Edited December 30, 2011 by SliverOfWax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I do admire those that cut & sew all those little pieces together - I can't number myself among them because I just don't have the paitence. My method of quilt making is geared more toward instant gratification in that I'll buy a pretty piece of material & make a one-piece top and then stitch in & around whatever design it is. I do enjoy just sitting & lap-stitching which is probably a little odd because it takes forever but I find it soothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliverOfWax Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 I don't cut little pieces, either. I think the smallest piece I've worked with is 4". I totally do NOT like messy quilts with many colors and patterns in the fabric. I've never made a quilt out of scraps. My pieces have to blend and be cohesive or I would hate doing it.

HorseScentS Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Your quilts are fabulous! And I love your doggy too! Do you sell your quilts? I know a lady who makes beautiful quilts for sale, but every time she finishes one she can't bear to part with it, so she says, "Oh, no, this one is much too nice to sell." and she folds it up and puts it in the closet. She's been doing that for years. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) Wow that first one is amazing I do not have the guts for one like that yet maybe somedayThe others are great too. Edited December 31, 2011 by Vicky_CO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 too dayum much work for me............but God bless you for your patience in putting together all those pieces. :-}Naw, this type of quilt is really easy, actually. It just looks difficult. You just sew 4 long strips together and cut them into triangles. Do this for however many triangles you need to finish the quilt. Sew the triangles together. Each triangle has 8.5" sides. I did the whole quilt top in an afternoon. The next afternoon I quilted it by machine and then did the binding. The binding takes longer to sew by hand than the entire rest of the quilt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
