Terri from MI sent me another QOV that I finished up this week. I just love this one. The red and white material is not really pieced but I did STID as if it was. Nice stripes. And then free had feathers in the blue and setting triangles. Continuous curve on the Star and feathers in the background of the star blocks. This one went pretty fast. So fine on top, bottom line in the bobbin and Hobbs 80/20 batting. Pattern In Honor of http://www.fonsandporter.com/articles/In_Honor_Of_patriotic_quilt_of_valor_quilt
And here's Easy Street all pieced and ready to quilt. I just have to quilt something that's on the top of my "waiting to be quilted list" first.. Easy street turned out pretty big, 102ish square. I think I'll do a panto on this one. And yes I have one of those four patches sitting the wrong way and I'm just going to leave it :) My grey is light enough it just blends in.
I started something new last week, just love this one. I've wanted to make this quilt for so long. I have enough strings to possibly make 3! I can never estimate how many are needed. This one definitely has a red, white and plue theme to it. Maybe QOV donations, hmm that or Happy Chemo.
Love what you have done with the QOV, you've taken the sublime to amazing. You've been a busy beaver!
ReplyDeleteYou really need to enter one of your quilts in an AQS show! Just phenominal work!
ReplyDeleteYour quilting is just gorgeous as usual.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful design for that QOV! And your quilting really enhances it beautifully! Love the border on your Easy Street! It is so amazing to me how each one has a different look depending on its colors and border treatments :*)
ReplyDeleteYour QOV is stunning! Looks like you have been very busy with the other projects too. Lots of wow factor coming out of your quilting studio!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Sue!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilting on the QOV.
ReplyDeleteYou did a fabulous job f quilting the QOV. And Easy Street is beautiful, as is the plaid string quilt coming together. Great show and tell!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilting, Sue. You took a lovely quilt and made it really special. You have had a good week it seems. Great job!
ReplyDeleteStunning quilting!! WOW.
ReplyDeleteAWESOME as always, Sue...Your quilting choices are spot-on! Your Easy Street will be awesome quilted out, can hardly wait to see that.
ReplyDeleteI have spent almost as much time 'ripping out' my four patches and spinning them in the right direction and re-sewing, as I have piecing the main quilt top - might be finished if it weren't for that!
Like you, I'm leaning towards a panto in fact, Shangri-La from urbanelementz.com is looking like the one. Haven't had a chance to audition it just yet, but I'm getting excited - only 4 more Part VIII blocks to go prior to assembly - YEAH!
Thanks for all the inspiration to keep on keepin' on,

The QOV is outstanding. I especially like the quilting in the blue triangles.
ReplyDeleteThe string quilt on the end of the post is also one I'm going to do sooner then later. Yours is coming along just great.
All the projects are great but I especially love that string quilt!
ReplyDeleteOf course your quilting is outstanding, as usual. And no wonder you do such great feathers, you really do a lot of them. ;-) And I really like the piano key border on Easy Street. My "turned wrong" piece was a flying goose and it stayed. With all that perfection, I needed a humble piece. :-O
ReplyDeleteYour quilting is wonderful. I like the new project you are working on. Lots of strings. Are they in a planned color way or are you just grabbing and using them?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilting as usual and I can't wait to see what you do with your Easy Stree! I still don't have mine quilted :( Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteYour quilting is gorgeous, as always. I don't know how you keep up with so many projects, you're awesome!
