HMS Daring Quilt

Because I am making a quilt of a ship's superstructure the pieces of it will
have to be fairly exact. To say the least my male sewing is not that small.
:-)))

Sue has ben showing me a technique with freezing paper that will ensure my
edges are strictly upheld to. ;-))

Hope to send a few pictures of my tracing of the ship to an internet site to
enable you ladies to give me some advice.

See you at the Selsey Quilt show?? :-))

I cannot wait to see this, Eddie. I've worked with the
Canadian Coast Guard, and grew up in a mining/shipping
community. Those large ships hold a special place with me.
Good luck!

Looking forward to seeing it, Eddie.
I'm picturing a warship in my mind; and, what with the radar and all
those other fiddly bits, this is going to be a triumph.
Just had a thought, if you mean your hand sewing stitches are not small,
perhaps you could plan - at this early stage even - where your quilting
lines will go. If you can design your quilting so that it will 'mostly'
go over where your stitching on sewing is, you won't have to worry.
Another thing I was told once by a teacher who does great work: if your
stitches are going to show anyway (even small applique stitches do
usually show), you could do a running stitch type of applique. That way
you could force yourself! to make the stitches on the top really small,
but the ones underneath could be your usual size. That would be easier
than trying to do a small hemming type stitch for the applique.

Oh, how exciting Eddie. Thanks for thinking of sharing the sketch. So,
how many different shades of grey fabric have you got!!!

You can make a splash with the sea and the sky. One quilt I did was
almost all green! (a landscape - so it would be!). So, I did an evening
sky, just so that I could introduce some gorgeous colours into it. You
will have great fun with this. I thought the fiddliest bits might be
the radar g

All the best with the venture.

There shades of grey and some black. We have slightly overcast, light blue
sky and a calm., blue sea. Already machine stitched together those two
fabrics together.

As you can see from the sketch, there are loads of angles. We are looking at
Sue's technique using freezer paper. Cut the freezer paper and press out
the fabric, with edge around it to make each piece prior to sewing.

Oh my, Eddie! That's quite a detailed project! I can't wait to see the
fabric version!

Darn it, I can't find the photo. I go to the link site and it tells me
"no photo available". But from what the others are saying, it must be
grand and I can't wait to see it all finished.
