Quilting and Baby Blanket Pics

14 years ago

Here are a couple samples of FM quilting done on my treadle. It is a new experience...I have to remember my feet are the power. You have to treadle really fast. I don't know how clear this will be. Next is the baby blanket I quilted on the treadle. I did the loops and hearts in the border but after I washed it the crinkles hide the hearts design.

That's just darling. I imagine using the treadle will just take practice. It will go smoother with time. Looks great already.

I saw this quilt in a Connecting Threads catalog, so I never looked up the pattern. The catalog did call it "Ribbon Quilt". It turns out they made 6 inch blocks. I made 9 inch blocks. Like I said it's just 8 half-square triangle blocks around a solid center.

Good job! I love it too. I like that you could incorporate that pattern to almost anything - not that you'd want to change it - I love the bright colors - and that it's not pastels pink/blue/green... and it's toads! LOVE IT!

I've found a lot of things UNDER the tables....I never fail to poke through the cardboard boxes and baskets of textiles that dealers often stick on the floor or under tables. Don't neglect those! Look through them all...who know what will be on the bottom of the pile!

Cute little quilt, I like the prairie points and the interesting back. Nice job using the treadle. Is this something you plan to do more of? I would find it a challenge. TFS Jayne

Jeane, I love the baby quilt. Looks really cuddly. Looks like you've gotten a good start using the treadle for FM.

I'm impressed. It must be a real challenge to learn to use the treadle. I haven't even tried mine yet!

I like the quilt very much and think you did a great job on the back too!
