DebbieWolf OFFLINE Posts: 600 Thank you received: 2	Your quilt is incredible, Rosemary! Congratulations on a job very well done. I hope you have fun quilting it and then post some close-ups pics for us to enjoy. The blog was very interesting. I sure would like to visit the Cottage shop and see all those beautiful quilts up close & personal.

now I just have to round up a gaggle of geese for the outer border, finalise the design for the back, be brave enough to get it made into a sandwich (never done one this large before-bites nails!). For the quilting I am thinking about Welsh style spirals and leaves.

Oooh, I want to see a photo of the finished quilting. I've always wanted to do the Welsh style of quilting- I have a couple of books about it but haven't done it yet. I'm part Welsh on my Mother's side so feel a call to that style. Kathy

Margo OFFLINE Posts: 6522 Thank you received: 129	WOW!! Rosemary it's looking fabulous! And how appropriate to use the Friendship Star block!! You do such creative stuff, I can't wait to see the rest of it assembled and what you decide to put on the back! BTW....maybe you could have a long-armer baste it together for you with Superior's VANISH?? Then you can do the quilting without worrying about it shifting.

Scoopie OFFLINE Posts: 1149 Thank you received: 160	Barbara, your HST quilt looks wonderful! I vote for the dark blue that is down near the floor. I think it would have a very deep, rich feel to it, then. Be sure to share it once it is finished! Rita, I love your changing scenery! You live in a beautiful area of the world!

Margo OFFLINE Posts: 6522 Thank you received: 129	Barbara, I use lots of starch and find it more economical to mix my own. I use Sta-Flo and mix it half and half with water in a spray bottle. Here is one of my tutorials that shows how I starch my fabrics for piecing: http://good-times.webshots.com/album/569886584udsJUe
