Marilyn I have been doing my own thing for the applique borders and as a consequence it's taking a lot longer. But I am nearly there now. I did discover that I had cut my top and border fabrics 6" to small but as I was planning on doing cornerstones rather than one continuous piece top and bottom I have just extended the corners by 6" and appliqued over the joins. Bummer, but not the end of the world. I will post a photo as soon as I have finished.

Bren it's nice to hear from you and I am glad that you have finally got some rain - we have finally got some sunshine for the past few days - but brass monkey weather to go with it. It would be lovely to get sun and warmth at the same time sometime.

Susan, I believe the book had a temporary glitch and I don't know where it is now. Rosemary is gone on holidays for a week so we probably won't know until she comes back. Anyway, with so few completed quilts the book can't really proceed.

I would love to hear from some of the other members of this exchange and to see what you have done so far?

marilyn, i love it!

Marilyn, your spools are cool! I'm curious about your map of names. I flashed on the thought of taking of picture of the quilt, writing the names on the section, and printing with TAP fabric transfer paper. Do you know what's going on with the book of quilts? I wasn't part of this exchange, but would love to see all the quilts.

WOW what a nice but busy winter this has been. Hi ya all from the Dakota Praries, it's me Bren fresh from the ranch.. only a few minutes to post..
I am still quilting,
I finished our youngest daughters wedding quilt,
I am binding another ladies quilt,
I am trying to finish my Wot Rott quilt,
We are still working on the Quilting studio at the old school house...
"It is now officially called "The Quilt Studio", and no longer "the old school house!"
We have spent about 30 days this past 30 days in the calving barn or in the calving lot.
We had several warmer nights with the moon out and no wind and let me tell you at 2 a.m. and 9 degrees above zero F.,
THAT IS WONDERFUL! For some reason this year almost all of the hefiers babies had to be pulled into this world
because they were huge! I don't know how that can happen with the drought we are in and little feed and grass....

An amazing thing happed today The good Lord sent us rain and I have to tell you it smelled SO GOOD! Thank you Father! I can actually hear the grass growing! LOL!

Marilyn, I love what you are getting done on your quilt
And Rita is right... "WHERE ARE ALL THOSE QUILTS AT"????

TTY all real soon I hope, Take care all you "wild and quilty" quilter friends of mine! Blessings to all.

Rita...The top is 47"x 54" now. I'm going to cut the borders 8 1/2 " as in Edyta's book. That
makes it 55" x 62" or there abouts ! I'm just am not sure I will use her figures , shapes etc.
May do something else....

MIne has been on the back burner too. One reel is finished. I had to see what it looked like with the top, bottom and sides on. It is still on my design wall, so I won't forget it. I did come across the rest of the reels on Wed., so I know right where they are.
I also have the Laura Nownes quilt on my design wall. I also have five quilt tops hanging in the closet waiting to be quilted. I don't know what I will do first. I have company this week, so it will all wait another week. One of my daughters gave me a quilt kit for Christmas that I am anxious to cut into too. I only have 3 days a week, 7 hours each, when I can sew/quilt. There is just not enough time for all I want to do.

I like your layout Marilyn. What size is that now? And what will it be with the borders?

Margo, they will turn up - they are probably under Wendy's bed beneath the batting. My friend's quilt that she lost turned up under a pile of batting maybe that's where yours are too?

Well, I finally got mine this far. I studied it a long time...moved it around , tried other lay-outs
and ended up about as simple as I could get !! Then I thought I wanted to include the names..but
really didn't like anything I attempted...so will put on back in a special block..with a map to whose is what.. :shock:
Here's photo..will cut and fit borders then do applique..design yet to come !! Couple of emb. projects on the
board and a little Civil War quilt cut out and ready to sew. Mug Rugs...what was I thinkin' :

As the wot rott quilt is a keeper, it's taking a backseat to everything else... Strips are safe and sound, resting up for the day we can start to play

My Wot RoTT exchange has been put on hold (back burner).
I have a few spool blocks done,
First my sewing machine that I take to my small guid on workshop days to work on them,
Then I was sick with a really bad cold for 3 weeks.
Slowly getting back on track I hope. It has taken me a long time to get my strength back

I have been Hand Quilting on my Dear Jane, while sitting and resting. It will take me a long time to get poor Jane done.

I might have a couple of days to,work on them next week.


Margarita

My strip units got put in a "safe place" during the basement remodel, and I still haven't found them!

So I was having a look at the Show and Tell entries in various categories and noticed that there are only two - yes that's right only TWO (2) quilts on the Wot RoTT show and tell page. Is this possible? I know that I have seen at least four (4) posted on this thread. I mean, there were at least 82 people involved in this exchange or was it 126 Rosemary? Where are you all.... where are your quilts? WIPs? Anything, anybody? I am looking for a little company on this lonesome journey of completing the applique for this quilt. So wassup?

Love your quilt Rosemary and Margo.. Thanks for all the PC info... very good stuff!
