could it be?

...a change in habits...making a quilt from start to finish? i kept going on this quilt...made the back...basted it and even started the quilting.



...when i get home this weekend maybe i'll keep going on it through the finish. could i be turning over a new leaf?

    It's nice, isn't it? To take a quilt all the way through the process without a break. By the by, I LOVE the wavy line quilting!

    I take it as a sign that I'm really in love with the project if nothing else takes my attention away from it. Let it spirit you away!

    Looking forward to seeing it finished -- it looks fantastic!

    Is the quilting you are doing a zigzag stitch or are you free motion quilting the zigzag lines? I love it! And I love making quilts from start to finish!

    WOW, I love that quilt, and I LOVE the quilting! Well done! You may have inspired me to go finish something myself...

    I really like the quilting.

    Start to finish is generally how I work, but I think it's usually because I am making gifts.

    Like previous commenters, I LOVE that wavy line quilting! Is that a particular stitch on your machine, or...?

  15. Abby and StephanieFebruary 5, 2010 at 9:37 AM

    I agree..earthy. Do you free motion the wiggly lines or use a stitch set on your machine?

    jacquie - with those fabric and color combo, I cannot wait to finish it up. Love it and cannot wait to see the whole piece. I also saw a fabric I purchased recently which I hope to buy more since I will be using a little less than 2 yards for th back of a commissioned lap quilt.

    Good job! Yes, the quilting is really cool and the colors too! Is that quilting computerized or how do you do that?

    It's the only way I can do it... if I don't finish each one right away, I lose my momentum. (But your old ways seemed to work just fine for you... I have always been impressed with your output!) This one looks like another beauty!

    Love it! I too wonder about your wavy line quilting - is it a stitch on your machine or free motion?

  27. DorisFebruary 5, 2010 at 10:51 AM

    Well, it could be, and if you are, you are way ahead of me! I'm still all over the place with ADD!

    Love the fabric selections in this one. The colors I'm starting to work with this week as a matter of fact...

    Yup! That's how I work!I get so excited to see the quilt in it's next step that I just keep on going until I'm done with it! This one looks amazing by the way - can't wait to see the finished product.

    It will be exiting to see the finished product. You have kept the finished top under wraps. I really like your quilting design, keep at it!

    oh my -- that is a wonderful quilt. Are you using your walking foot and a programmed stitch to quilt it, so closely together? What size is the quilt? just lovely.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Diane BarfieldFebruary 5, 2010 at 12:59 PM

    I have the same question as some have asked, are you using a programmed stitch or free hand? Either way it is lovely, but inquiring minds want to know.

    How very boring and pedestrian to make a quilt from start to finish! ***tongue firmly in cheek as I try to remember the last time I managed that little trick***

  39. UnknownFebruary 5, 2010 at 2:48 PM

    Oh please let it rub off on me Jacquie - my top flimsy is almost done and I now wish I had a design wall like yours so I could work out the placement for a banner strip across the back - then it would be all go - so please let it rub off on me.

    Wow - I bet it feels great to have something finished quickly, instead of lots of things started in a short period of time (my usual).

    Also - I love that quilting. I tried it recently and it was kind of hard.

    Love it! I'll add my name to the list of those who want to know about your wavy line quilting. Please post how you do this. Thanks! I notice you are using a walking foot, too. I love my walking foot and will probably take it to the grave with me.
