The<br />advice about it being a "forever"<br />project rather than a quick and<br />easy one, must be for me. <br /><br />What puts me off about starting on<br />this is that I abhor scrap quilts<br />and would only do this with a color<br />coordinated, cohesive, repeating <br />color scheme... in midtone pastel soft prints... almost solids.<br /><br />I would be grateful for some feedback on my idea. This is way too complicated a project to begin on a whim, and I hate mistakes.<br /><br />Thanks for the inspiration. Your<br />quilt is lovely, and I don't <br />usually even consider scrap quilts.<br /><br />However, I just finished a Buckeye<br />Beauty, of many soft lavender and<br />purple prints on an ecru ground<br />which surprised me and the recipient with its beauty.<br /><br />So, let me amend my previous statement and say "I generally do not like scrap quilts."!Catherine Smithhttp://nyquiltsmith.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698041040077198276.post-89565576128256427762010-03-03T19:32:36.958-05:002010-03-03T19:32:36.958-05:00Fabulous Quilt!

I did not do anything special to make any kind of optical illusion happen and I do not see it.

In the past I had done very complicated Karen K. Stone foundation pieced quilts that I needed to spend a week peeling papers off of so this little wall quilt with 36 tiny arcs was mere child's play in my estimation. I have never tried freezer paper arcs .... guess I am missing out on something.<br /><br />JudyJudy in Ohiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912719591534308381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698041040077198276.post-41985878615865024422010-02-28T14:30:59.302-05:002010-02-28T14:30:59.302-05:00Judy, I love your wallhanging.

What do you do?<br />Once I got the steps down I really like not having the paper to peel off. I've done this method before but<br />with paper & glue stick, not quite as accurate. Our class goal is to use<br />up stash & I'm doing sort of thimbleberry colors.<br />I am really curve challenged but this is very good practice!~ JillJill from Portlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256407700240286541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698041040077198276.post-85386527430026612642010-02-27T22:44:17.622-05:002010-02-27T22:44:17.622-05:00My only words of advice to you Lonna would be to n...My only words of advice to you Lonna would be to never work on a NYB quilt with a deadline.

I can certainly make grandiose suggestions without regard to knowledge of the size of the quilt! :-)<br /><br />You'll need to wait for a response, as I am currently with middle DD, doing the Florence Nightingale thing with her, as she just had all 4 wisdom teeth removed this morning. I won't be back home until the end of the weekend.<br /><br />You weren't in a tearing hurry, were you? :-)<br /><br />I'll keep your scale numbers in mind when I print out the picture.

Or were you referring to the arc segment with the pointy parts? I'll be happy to send a photo to you but you might want to re-think your kind offer now that I have reminded you of the constipated size of this wall hanging and the component parts. Then again you do like a challenge, don't you? :-) <br /><br />JudyJudy in Ohiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912719591534308381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698041040077198276.post-89431942567160683832010-02-26T21:16:09.833-05:002010-02-26T21:16:09.833-05:00Judy, think on this ...

Make it easy on yourself and do the same "something different" in each arc. :-)<br /><br />do another open design in the areas on the outside of the arcs.<br /><br />If you are so inclined, send me a picture of it (reasonably full resolution) and I'll try to do a Quilt Whisperer on it. :-) That might serve as inspiration for you to think of something really spectacular. :-)Shelley: the Dread Pirate Rodgershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13431557867878383150noreply@blogger.com
