Latest quilt to be finished

14 years ago

Here is the latest quilt to get finished...I can't take the credit for the appliquing..it was done by a Great Aunt who left me all of her quilting supplies as well as all of the unfinished pieces...this was one of them...I sewed the blocks together and joined the vines...then did the quilting.

No, it didn't. At least not on my computer. It just took me to the photobucket sight.

One more attempt to post here! - don't know what is up but I haven't been able to post... The block is called 'CLASSIC BLUE' - I got the pattern off the Quilters Cache. The points come together very easy and the blocks work up fast - the prep time goes faster that the sewing! Rainey - the only problem I have about using denim is the weight. I love heavy quilts - they just feel warmer to me. But with older people, I am afraid they wont be able to move them with ease and with babies - they may feel 'trapped' under them. I have everything ready to put it together but know there is no way I would have time to hand quilt it before the auction in May so I was going to just tie it. Then my niece decided that I need to make a 'Wyoming' quilt for her fund raiser auction in March, and she wants it quilted! All the 8th grade student in the county have the opportunity to go to Washington DC but need to raise $1300 to pay for it. Of course, I lost my head (LOL) and said "of course, no problem". I haven't slept a wink since! trying to figure out what to do, buy the material and time it right to quilted it. EEEEK!! THERE ISN'T ENOUGH TIME!! I went to Joanne's and picked up everything to do that quilt, finish this one and 3 others that I want to do. I told one of the ladies that I know there what was going on & she gave me the name of the lady that does all her machine quilting for her. Oh My - life is good again! She said that she would do it and any others I want done for no more than $60 for queen size!!! I think that is a great price - am I right? Now I need to quit talking about them and get to work! :) Marie

Both of these are beautiful. The colors are so soft and pretty. I like the border of colored/white squares in the HS. The HS is a great pattern....really like it. TFS. ~Geraldine

Like Sue, I also like this pattern and have made a few. I've always thought it was called a weave quilt pattern. Some call it basket weave. I like the look of stained glass, too. Nicely done.

Photobucket's gotten more complicated for some reason. Now I have to click on the "Share" button above the thumbnail. When the new window opens, I highlight the long URL in the box that says "Having trouble? Try using this code..." Then I have to go to my toolbar's Edit feature and click "Copy." After all that I can finally go back to my post, hit "Paste" and the picture will be encoded into the message with the usual gobbledygook, but then it does show up in the Preview box.

It still works for me just fine if I copy the HTML Code line. I can see from nana's last post that it's got a part of the IMG code, but not all of it. It's the wrong code line.

Try going back to the picture, right click on the HTML Code line, then select 'copy'. Then post that directly into your text. When you 'Preview Message' you should be able to see it.

Absolutely wonderful. Did your Aunt do the Santa as well? It's a lovely tribute to her that you finished it. You can put that on the label for posterity. It becomes a true heirloom.

Yes she did the whole thing....it was in pieces when I got it...the appliquing was all done. I had to sew the side blocks together and fit the center and border in. In her late years she suffered from Alzhiemer's and had to be put into a nursing home where she passed away. I have at least 14 unfinished pieces to finish...hope I life to see them all done as well as some of mine that I would like to finish.
