I really enjoyed your insights into why you chose your 2 borders and binding colors. Its very helpful as I learn and grow in this craft and I am trying to look at my quilts using your tips.

I think your all solids quilt is the nicest I’ve ever seen - think that’s because you have so many different shades of colours in the solids that it almost seems patterned if that makes sense!

Yeah. After a short visit with grandson I foresee a road day trip to enjoy this day. To repeat, thank you to all veterans and the families that supported them. Their efforts are greatly appreciated and revered by our free nation.Gail, Enumclaw, WAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13727366822075361693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-48220802789784498602021-05-29T11:14:13.973-04:002021-05-29T11:14:13.973-04:00Love the solids in this quilt!

I always gravitate towards textures and prints, but this pattern provides the interest & it’s beautiful!<br /><br />Suddenly the a/c is off in southern Indiana & we are in the 40-60’s! Have to take care of my kids’ ducks, chickens, kitty & dog... then hopefully sew for the rest of the day on my Smith Mountain “Christmas” Morning!!<br /><br />Church then fellowship & food at the drive in Sunday! Memorial Day will be just the two of us this year! Maybe a bonus day of sewing and gardening!!<br /><br />Remembering all those who Fought for our freedoms... thank you to all veterans for your sacrifices!🇺🇸<br />Marci H 💕Marci H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05752468675952182043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-86116121917228929972021-05-29T11:09:36.305-04:002021-05-29T11:09:36.305-04:00I LOVE the quote!!

But, I am learning with every quilt I put out. <br />As for the quilting, that was one of the first things my MIL taught me when she was teaching me the machine. The more dense the quilting, the tighter it will be. So I save the cute tight patterns for wallhangings and table toppers. I always try to quilt a quilt with wide open patterns that will make it soft and snuggly. I love feathers and most recently an edge to edge zig zag that is wide open. Bonus on that one? It's a fast pattern and I am done within a couple of hours! As for thread color I try to match as much as possible but sometimes have to ask for a second opinion! <br />Plans for our Memorial Day weekend include a whole lot of R&R as we just got done with school. I have housework to do a quilt to finish. Then I am narrowing down the patterns that I definetly want to cut scraps for, and the rest I will be using the sizes in the scrap user's system! Have a relaxing weekend!

Yesterday the local thrift store had a $.99 sale. Needless to say, I came home with 18 shirts. More fun to come!Cannbehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10315337634299317782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-33187320813109617892021-05-29T10:08:09.877-04:002021-05-29T10:08:09.877-04:00Good morning!

This Memorial Day I don't really get to do the normal Memorial thing of decorating graves, but I will remember the times long ago when my Mother and our family gathered flowers in tinfoil can to take out to the Cemetery. Daddy's garden always had abundant flowers just for the picking around Memorial Day! Have a restful weekend. I hope to get in a few Hand stitches, if I can.

It makes sense, and that's why the quilts that I quilt on my domestic, tend to be softer. I also like to use a light polyester batting, rather than flat cotton, for a little more customers. I love the edge to edge motif that you used..Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14296842000809821362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-87100524223381027022021-05-29T08:41:57.311-04:002021-05-29T08:41:57.311-04:00Hope you find your project!
