HUG Quilt Thank You

There is some sort of magic that happens with HUG quilts that makes them
super-beautiful. This one is no exception to that rule. What a great group
this is!

humerous quilting video

I truly laughed out loud, truly.

Each of the few long-arm quilters I've talked to is a hard-nosed
professional, familiar with every possible quirk of an amateur quilt, and
ready to charge for it. ...

Clean up advice

What a trial for you!

I've never had to wash a quilt top or anything similar before, so all I know
is what I've read and my common sense, for whatever that's worth. I would
certainly bag the...

Pieced or unpieced on the bottom?

I was taught the same, Susan. My mother taught me that if you put the
larger piece on bottom, you can give the top piece a gentle tug to get it
closer to the length of the larger piece on bottom. ...

Continuing issue with uneven Wild Goose Chase strips

Thanks Pati. I am indeed using the lengthwise grain on the sashing; thanks

Continuing issue with uneven Wild Goose Chase strips

Did somebody else suggest this? I must have missed it. It's a good idea if
it does happen that the goose strips are different lengths. Right now, it
looks like there's no more that 3/4"...

Continuing issue with uneven Wild Goose Chase strips

That certainly hadn't occurred to me! I'll have to print it out and study
it to see if I can do this. At first glance, it does seem to me that sewing
directly to the batting would help keep the...

Hi Pat, I think I've already answered some of your questions in this thread.
The problem is not with my cutting and piecing. My cutting and piecing are

Chinese lantern quilt is finally finished

I love that patchwork pattern! I've never seen it before; did you design
it? I usually like the traditional patterns best; this looks traditional
because of its layout and the symmetry of the...

If I understand how these work, I think it wouldn't help because it doesn't
address the problem of how the different weight fabrics pull against each
