I love the variety of your techniques and... your Scottie dog profile picture! I have Scotties and Westies and occasionally make quilts with those dogs in them. I enjoyed seeing the Scottie in your Sunbonnet Sue quilt, too!
Looking forward seeing them. I wish I had pics. of some of my creations, I lost a photo box with pics. & negatives on a move 6 yr. ago ( before digitals) now I still have trouble getting hubby to load pics. cause we're on the road (RV) and he doesn't want to slow down computor.
Love your colours and design choices.But how is it that applique is your favourite technique, yet almost every quilt in your album is pieced? ls it time? l also have that problem,though machine applique speeds things up,l prefer handwork.I've just been working on my first redwork quilt(cats) and find it nice to have a "portable" piece to take along ( l couldn't help but envy your drawer full of cotton twist).
By the way, don't try to overcome your type A personality! I did and now I regret it...I miss my old hyper self! I have OCD and am on meds, so that really calms me down, but I just don't get things done as fast as I used to. Sometimes I feel like I'm a type C...slug!
Oh, I do have one more question. As your adding strings, do you iron each one down as you go, or is finger pressing sufficient?
Do you use muslin squares as a base for your string quilts? I've only made one string block and I used muslin. Wouldn't that make it kind of hard to quilt with batting and backing as well?
I've never heard of Material Obsession...I'll have to check it out on Amazon.
I have found that it's easier for me to make a scrappy quilt if I'm using all 30's fabrics or else what I'm doing now...using all Kaffe Fasset prints. The Kaffe one looks like the scrappiest one I've done yet! I prefer making planned quilts, but since I've been quilting for awhile now I have a lot of scraps and I could make dozens of quilts with what I've got. I really think scrappy is harder than a planned one, but I read of so many quilters who love scrap quilts and I want to be one of them. I should probably make a string quilt...I have lots of strips and could easily make a quilt out of those, and for those it really doesn't seem to matter how the fabrics are placed. Have you ever made a string quitl?
I love Bonnie's rule! If it's still ugly you didn't cut it small enough! That's great!
