Michelle Jensen replied to Michelle Jensen's discussion What to do with weird seams in the group Hand Quilting"Ok so I finished this quilt!! Woo Hoo! I love it. But I have one more question. I have some chalk marks on the quilt top. Is it ok if I wash it on the super delicate cycle to remove any marks?"
Lemmah replied to Michelle Jensen's discussion What to do with weird seams in the group Hand Quilting"Michelle, you took this from "weird seams" to "Fantastic!" The circles were such a good choice, and fun!"
Michelle Jensen posted a status"http://bit.ly/WsrzRB Spoonflower has weekly giveaways! Use this link to get your chance. Every week! Cool."
Mary Britton replied to Michelle Jensen's discussion What to do with weird seams in the group Hand Quilting"Beautiful quilt Michelle! The circles are certainly a good choice to disguise the seams at the corners. Since this is the easiest fix of all suggestions I would say go with it. It ties the borders to the rest of the quilt. …"
"How about taking away the corner fabric, and adding small pieced blocks instead?
l agree w/ Mary & Rogue, for future reference,mitre those stripes. With an a-symetric stripe like yours, it means flipping the fabric so that the same color bands…"

Michelle Jensen replied to Michelle Jensen's discussion What to do with weird seams in the group Hand Quilting"No receiver yet. I had some coupons and went shopping with a friend who helped pick it all out. She was very funny, saying, "this is hard!" All I could say was, "yeah, it is. But it sure is fun!"
I'm relatively new to…"

the rogue quilter replied to Michelle Jensen's discussion What to do with weird seams in the group Hand Quilting"if you have never done mitered corners...this fun wavy stripe would probably not be the best print to learn on. i did a blog last year for mitered corners.

there are tools and tons of how to…"
Michelle Jensen replied to Michelle Jensen's discussion What to do with weird seams in the group Hand Quilting"Thanks ladies. My husband is not an engineer but he is an artist. He is a multi-media painter and writer.
I've never done mitered corners so perhaps I should learn. I do have a bunch of fabric pieces left over. I could make a smaller block or I…"
Mary Britton replied to Michelle Jensen's discussion What to do with weird seams in the group Hand Quilting"For a striped border mitered seams are usually used. With this particular stripe however you would have to work too hard to match the stripes at the miter. How about using a cornerstone at each border corner? Some of the fabrics…"
the rogue quilter replied to Michelle Jensen's discussion What to do with weird seams in the group Hand Quilting"i think i under stand what your husband is seeing. btw... :)) is he an engineer? any way mine would be the same way with this. i prefer mitered seams in borders. that would be tedious and time consuming with this type of oh so fun print. but what a…"
