Pics of my first finished quilt and the nautical quilt top
I think I figured out this online picture thing, and since it was requested,
I've taken a few pics of the two quilts I've been working on and posted them at the address below. I'm really not that good with photographs, and the only place I had enough room to lay out the nautical top was on the living room floor, so the angles are kind of funny. It's a good thing the cat hair doesn't show up on the Ocean Waves one, though! It's hard to see, but the cream print squares are echo quilted a bit, and all of the diagonals were quilted in the ditch. The border has a sort of oval and diamond pattern I've seen on quilting templates, but I couldn't find one out in the boonies where I live, so I made my own and used it. I'm rather surprised at how much simpler the Mariner's Compass was to sew than I thought it would be. I've heard so many people say it is extremely difficult to set all of those points, and while mine were off a bit, the freezer paper method made it go a lot easier than I expected. I'm probably not going to gussy this one up much, as my husband is pretty anxious to get it, and I think it looks nice enough as it is. I hate the cloud fabric, though; it just seems to throw off any sense of perspective for that panel, but I couldn't find a decent batik or hand-dyed fabric that would do the sky justice there. The one for the night sky is gorgeous, though; it's got sparkles in it like stars, and gradients of dark blue that look almost like clouds. The moon and sun were both cut from batiks, and the moon really looks pretty realistic, if I do say so myself. Of course, the appliqueing was NOT something I'd like to repeat anytime soon. I'll take a Mariner's Compass over appliqueing any day of the week. I've rattled on long enough, though, so take a gander at the two if you'd like, and let me know what you think! They're both what someone referred to as "cot sized", around 50 x 80 inches or so. http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/tas...PVYEUuF&.dir=/ 95df&.src=ph Anastasia |
