Crazy heart

This is only a block, not a quilt. It's lying on a store bought quilt. I am attempting to appliqué them on with ribbons as separators. Should I put lace or something aroundd them?

It's very pretty. She's going to love it. I can't even begin to imagine trying to get all those stripes parallel to one another and perfectly straight. Wow!

My favorite task is probably hand quilting although I don't get to do a lot. My least favorite is a tough choice but probably cutting especially on a night when everything is slipping.

Suzann,
How big is your 35 round squares? What size hook do you use?
Garnie P. Bethea replied to Suzann Darnall's discussion 'Cotton Yarn Crochet' in the group Knit & Crochet
Caron is my choice for cotton yarn. I use "I Love This Yarn" mainly. It's a Hobby Lobby brand and is really soft. Red Heart can get a little rough at times.

Connie, you can edit any of your main discussion by clicking on options above your post. I say this to say that the first link to the picture above works, the second one doesn't.

Great job. It's really cute. I'd like the pattern if possible.

Is there anyone near Tamaqua or Schuylkill county? If so, tell me sone good shops in the area. I only know of one, which I love, but would like to see what else is out there.
Jennifer Beltz commented on Maxine Funk's group 'Pennsylvania Quilters'
Hi Maxine
My favorite quilting task is a tie between hand stitching binding and the actual piecing. my LEAST favorite is applique. I try to avoid applique at all costs!!

Antique String-Pieced Eight-Pointed Star
Posted by Dee Shreffler on February 22, 2012 at 8:58pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
I just finished making this replica of an Antique String-Pieced Eight-Pointed Star. The pattern is from Circa 1890 according "Scrap Patchwork & Quilting " by Marti Michell published in 1992
. I made it by pulling material from my scrap bag. I wish my scrap bag would get smaller but it just seems to grow. Oh well…
My last two quilts.

Hi, friends!
How have you been? I would like to show you my last quilts.
"Playing in circles". Lots of animals and freehand quilting. And "A day in the country". Toile de jouy and roses to pay homage to true love.
I hope to hear from you, comments, opinion, criticism. I want to learn from you.
Thanks,
Best wishes from Argentina.
