FUN Border Quilting

I know that I have already shown you the finished quilt…..

….but I wanted to show you the video of the final quilting in the borders.

I LOVE using straight lines in borders……

I feel that they draw the attention in to the spectacular center of the quilt AND they are normally fairly easy to quilt, which is a plus since I am normally ready to JUST BE DONE with it!!

Have a watch as we finish this off with some echo quilting using a straight-edged ruler!!

Fun AND Easy Border Quilting?

I have always struggled to figure out quilting designs for borders. Part of the problem was that I was OVER whatever quilt I was making and, by the time I got to the border, I was ready to JUST FINISH IT!!

But, this week, I have found a design that was SO easy to quilt and very relaxing and I can imagine that I will use it on many quilts going forward!!

Come see this “secret” design…..

I have an EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!

A number of people have asked me for the pattern for the original 2-inch scrap quilt (now named “Windmill Chain”) so I have written it up and it is available for purchase!!

THIS quilting is FUN FUN FUN!!

I find that certain quilts are a drudgery to quilt and some just seem to skip along.

Fortunately, the quilting on my 2-inch scrap was one of the FUN, FUN, FUN times!!

A Little Friday Quilting

I am wanting to get the quilting finished on my first scrap quilt of the “Summer of the Scrap”!!

I tried but didn’t get it finished today, but have a video that will show my plans and a bit of the quilting. It is a fun mix of FMQ and Ruler Quilting….

If you are reading on email, you can use this link to go directly to the video….. https://youtu.be/8XFpGEhLVwY

I am very happy with how the border is looking…..

…and just have to find a few hours to finish it up!!

I hope that you are finding minutes and hours to be creative too!!

The Long and Short of Quilting Rulers

I have always wondered which size of quilting ruler is best. Originally, it seemed to me that a longer ruler would be better because you wouldn’t have to reposition it as often.

However, I have changed my mine about that!!

In this video, I try quilting curves using two rulers….one 12-inch and one 6-inch.

Check out the results….
