That was one of the quickest and most incisive decisions I've ever made in quilting, and even though the back didn't turn out as well as it could have, I'd do it again.<br /><br />Get mushy all you want--I did, too! Yes, Lucy is somewhere between 1/4 and 1/2 Irish, and her mommy's maiden name, Shannon Dunnagan, couldn't be more Irish!<br /><br />Love, LindaLinda Wulf Koenighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05923385161588309971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7101100114126500336.post-52896801744893708912015-02-01T16:16:24.386-08:002015-02-01T16:16:24.386-08:00But Linda, tell your favourite artist that it'...But Linda, tell your favourite artist that it's not necessarily Planet Earth, is it? One sun is setting and the other is behind you. Nothing wrong there.<br /><br />The latest quilt is an absolute hoot. Great fun on the front (monkeys in green as well as blue!) and top marks for bravery and letting true random sort out the back. You would have agonised for several weeks if you had tried to arrange both front and back.<br /><br />Lucy Maeve! Such a sweet name. I'm going a bit mushy here. It's the Irish blood in me.<br /><br />Love, MuvMuvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00734374133479479218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7101100114126500336.post-44973705319845061442015-01-17T16:51:51.070-08:002015-01-17T16:51:51.070-08:00Um...seams instead of seems.

Well, I sta...Thank you for having me on the linkup! Well, I start with squared blocks of course, and every time I pin one block (or row of blocks) together, I check to see that the free edges, the ones folded back on each other, are as well-matched as my seam edges--even if I have to pin them in place, which I usually do. It basically helps keep things from going wonky while stitching the seam. This all seams to end up in fairly well-matched intersections...although, I could pick out at least one or two spots where the sashing doesn't match up so perfectly. Yes, that Slant-O-Matic does sew everything! My mom-in-law made everything from wedding dresses (mine) to pinch-pleated draperies and corduroy bedspreads on this machine. She also taught me to sew on it, so it has a very special place in my heart. With the Derwent pencils, I'll probably draw and color a basic flower on a few different fabrics and then see what happens with the water. Looking forward to it. :) Linda Wulf Koenighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05923385161588309971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7101100114126500336.post-69160534780878845402015-01-17T12:48:32.763-08:002015-01-17T12:48:32.763-08:00Thanks, Terri!

That's mostly why I let the chips fall where they would on this one--but I sure didn't think the colors would clump together that much. Oh, you have a little granddaughter, too--how wonderful! I hope to see the baby quilt on your blog. Have loads of fun finishing it and giving it to her.Linda Wulf Koenighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05923385161588309971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7101100114126500336.post-40105326849989510382015-01-17T12:40:07.412-08:002015-01-17T12:40:07.412-08:00Thank you, Maartje!

I've made several like that one, and wonder how you got the sashings to be so accurately lined up at the intersections - mine would be a little wonky - I'm thinking it must be something in the assembly. My neighbor had a Slant-0-Matic. it sewed through everything! Wow what a difference in the sketches. I'm really interested to see how they do on fabric. Thanks so much for linking to WIPs Be Gone. This is just the kind of post I was hoping to read at the party.<br />Blessings.Angie in SoCalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01689281551068732574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7101100114126500336.post-71113885510687717622015-01-17T11:16:47.170-08:002015-01-17T11:16:47.170-08:00What an interesting quilt.

The owner of this quilt will have lots to see and texture to enjoy, as well. I love the panel with the flower bouquet. Thanks for showing it.<br />I'm just now finishing my grandgirl's baby quilt, and she turns 1 early in Feb. It's a hugs and kisses design I did with paper piecing.<br />HugsTerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08927552672720816359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7101100114126500336.post-42118902050396806812015-01-17T11:12:59.927-08:002015-01-17T11:12:59.927-08:00Thank you for your kind comment on my blog.
