It was set together in a round the trip pattern, hand quilted, and then I tailored square corners where it fit on the bed. It was a heavy sucker to sleep under. That was 30 years ago. I don't know what happened to that quilt, but it's no longer in my possession. <br />Happy Sewing!Osage Bluff Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221434879848622632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-32550604750177692902011-02-28T09:35:52.656-06:002011-02-28T09:35:52.656-06:00I know what you mean about the pinked edges on the...I know what you mean about the pinked edges on the precuts. The first time I used them I didn't know where to measure either. I know we're our best critics and I see the errors in my quilts too. The recipients never see them or don't care...something I try to keep in mind now. Wish I would have kept my first attempt.

I really think it is pretty.<br /> I wish that you lived close to me... for many reasons.... but one is that I need a quilting teacher. I have made several quilts for my grandchildren. I always have trouble having the points come out right....and the squares are often not the same size even though I think I sew them all exactly the same???? I need your help Marlene.<br />Have a great week.

I have made my own share of less-than-perfect quilts. I'm always a bit astonished how forgiving fabric can be. Three years ago I made a quilt for a grandaughter that measured perfectly, points perfect, but there was so much bias piecing in the border that I was ready to quit. Luckily with a bit of pushing and pulling on the hoop, it quilted out and that little girl loves it.I wouldn't be tempted to enter it in a show, however.Julie Fukudahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704374750710761269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-89218005459180470172011-02-27T21:57:36.340-06:002011-02-27T21:57:36.340-06:00it looks nice and cuddly to me!

I've never said this out loud before, but I think people who go around inspecting each of your stitches/matching points, etc. .... are just plain nosy. So there.<br /><br />Another thing. It's hard being perfect, even for a quilt. Some quilts are quite complicated by design and execution. Some quilts are beautiful in color combo. Some quilts have interesting borders, some are quilted so elegantly. The backing and binding on some are amazing, cuddly on others. Some are exciting by design, others are calming and comforting. It would be hard to be all of those. Each one is beautiful in its own way.

I don't understand the pinking of charms or layers - it's suppose to prevent raveling, but I think you lose the integrity of the edge.
