blocks from fleece for quilt by **k**
Can anyone tell me if they were successful in cutting squares of all different fleece fabrics to make a quilt top? I was thinking I could make some squares 10" and then smaller ones to make a 4-patch and alternate them. I have been saving fleece for this for ages, but now that I'm ready to do...

Bright Orange, tye dye and blue by *KoffeeKupz*

Here is the...

Query regarding fabric requirements to turn a wall hanging into a lap quilt... by - dlm.
Hello! Years ago, I started what I expected to be a large wall hanging. This UFO colour study is 45 inches wide by 56 inches long. I would like to turn it into a decent sized lap quilt for my eldest child's dorm room. I know that I would like it to have two borders. I like the look of a thin...

Does anyone own the John Flynn Multi-Frame System? by - dlm.
Just popped 'round John Flynn's site to find the quilt backing formula that 'Sally at the Seaside' recommended. I noticed that the multi-frame system has a relatively reasonable price-point and can be used for both hand and MQing. I've never gotten used to MQing anything larger than a placemat...

Binding query... by - dlm.
Hello! I recently decided to finish an ancient Asian Style lap quilt. I do mean ancient! The lap quilt was started in 2002. All the blocks were made but I just never cut the strips for the skinny and wide borders. Nor did I cut and make the bias binding. Fast forward to present day... Whilst...

Seeking recommendation for sewing machine extension table by - dlm.
Hello! I own an Elna 6003 Quilters Dream sewing machine. My sewing table is nothing more than a flat desk with the SM sitting on top. I've always had difficulty with free-motion quilting, so I've decided to take another class. One of my not-so-local QS recommends the use of an extension table...

Paper piecing query... by - dlm.
Hello! I would like to try my hand at paper-piecing a Mariner's Compass block. My query has to do with the type of paper that I should use. Does anyone have a favourite that they recommend? Is it readily availble? I don't have a SWLTH nearby and my LQS really is not-so-local. TIA! -...

Long sashing strips query... by - dlm.
Will the Quilt Police issue a citation if I'm forced to piece all of my long sashing strips? Is this going to be an egregious error on my part? If not, will I just piece the strips on the diagonal, much like I would do with binding? For aesthetics purposes, should I make each row of long sashing...

Ideas for a hug quilt that will be quick to piece and finish? by - dlm.
Hello, As some of you know, I am the "Queen of Procrastination," aka the "Empress of UFOs." I need some ideas for a lap size hug quilt. I need something that will be easy to piece and quilt. However, since I'm not particularly good at MQing unless the block size is relatively small, I will...

Hi, I'm Dawn, and I am a self-professed MQing "failure." I've taken classes, and practised. I've practised quilting straight lines. I've practised stipple quilting. I've even practised MQing the pattern on the fabric. When I MQ small blocks ( no larger than 24 * 24 inches ), the quilting...

I'm here! I just wanted to let you know that I'm fine. I would write more, but I have about 3 minutes left at this internet cafe. I found a fabric store, but it's not as we know it... mostly fabrics for suits and a few things for curtains. Also some linens. If you need my address, in order to...

OT - Fons and Porter "For the Love of Quilting" May/June 2004 by -- Jo in Scotland
Someone was raving about a project in this magazine - was it Polly? - and saying how simple the instructions were, and how generous the cutting was, so that it was a joy to make the baby quilt project in the magazine. Does anyone have a copy they would either part with for money, or trade for...
