This week, I had fun playing with the Westalee Spinning Ruler #21……
This one is different because if that TINY little dot at the bottom….
See what I mean…..
I love how easy this design is to make, and I especially love that you can keep adding to your hearts’ content!!
Now I need to make a quilt with blocks that will highlight this fun design!!
…
Last week we had fun with the Westalee Spin-E-Fex Ruler number 16, ending up with this magnificent wreath design…..
Today, we are going to use a ruler that looks similar, but produces a completely different design…..
I really do enjoy the design that this produces….
….and like it even better when you quilt it BACKWARDS…..
Next week, we will play with a different sort of ruler and end up with a completely different design!!
Be sure to come back for more!!
…
Today, we are going to take a look back into the video archives and view the fun things that you can do with a Westalee Spin -E-Fex ruler!!
Number 16 is the ruler of the week…..
Doesn’t this look great!!
I truly enjoyed trying various designs on this brown strip quilt…..
Come back next week and we will look at another of the Spin-E-Fex designs!!
…
Do you have the idea that, if you are a FREE Motion Quilter, that you are NOT allowed to mark a top before you quilt?
Well, I have struggled with that idea this week. Check out the story ……
I am so glad to figure out that this was MY problem and that nothing bad was going to happen if I decided to physically mark a quilt top.
There may be much more marking in my future!!
…
One thing that I love about quilters is the way that they encourage each other and how willing they are to share their “collective wisdom”.
Well, I am stuck and could use some help!!
Yesterday I finished quilting the inner section of the Quilt-Of-Valor…..
…and I am pleased with how it looks.
I added a few straight lines to the first two light blue borders….
I like how they look but MAY go back in a quilt something in that inner channel….we will see.
I am going to quilt stars in the narrow red border.
I plan to quilt the set of gold stars and red squares in a similar manner to the main section.
I have flags planned for the outside border.
SO….now the big question….
WHAT AM I GOING TO DO IN THE LARGER LIGHT BLUE SECTIONS?
Remember that I am trying to stick with the “stars and stripes” theme.
I really want to finish this up in the next few days so any and all ideas would be appreciated!!
