They can’t all be winners: 5 quilting projects I wouldn’t make again

Image
A few weeks ago, I came across a blog post where a quilter shared a finish. She mentioned being vaguely unhappy with it even though there wasn’t anything wrong with the blocks and the design. I’m pretty sure that most of us have experienced something similar. Looking at a quilty finish and thinking “this may be okay, but I am so done with this: never again”! Of my around 640 quilting projects, these are five that I would not re-make. I’ve analysed the core reasons and shared my learnings. Spectrolite: Problems all along Many years ago, I enjoyed a fun sew-together Saturday with my quilting guild. One of us shared a clever sew-and-cut method for creating a quilt block.

Some popular colour/pattern schemes include the so-called “Civil War” and “1930s” fabrics, and there are quilters who purchase vintage bedsheets to create lovely 1970s themed quilted items. For example, my quilty friend Soile created her Ursula quilt – which in this photo is still a surface – and used many Civil War reproduction fabrics whose colours and patterns were invented a long time ago: She also used other than those reproduction fabrics and achieved a perfect c...

tilkkupinnat pussukkaan. blogiarvonta.

** Blogiarvonta on päättynyt 3.11.2012. ** Sinisävyiseltä näyttävän alun jälkeen farkkupalojen ympärille kokoamani tilkkupinnat ovatkin enemmän sini-vihreäsävyiset. Tai ehkä ne ovatkin sinisävyiset. Palat ovat olleet tässä vaiheessa monta päivää, koska olen melko ahkerasti toteuttanut ruskeaa tilkkupalapeliäni. (Melko ahkerasti = maanantaina 15 palaa, tiistaina 3 palaa. Palat ovat siis 3 x 3 –blokkeja 5cm x 5cm tilkuista.) Osallistu Tilkunviilaajan blogiarvontaan  **Blogiarvonta päättyi 3.11.2012** Blogini täyttää kolme vuotta 3.11.2012 ja järjestän sen kunniaksi blogiarvonnan. Arvon kaksi palkintoa eli aitoa Tilkunviilaajan tekemää pussukkaa, joissa saattaa olla lisäkivaa sisällä. Osallistu näin: Jätä tähän postaukseeni kommentti, jossa arvaat, mitä tekeillä oleva palapelitilkkutyöni esittää. HUOM! Jos tiedät, mitä tilkkutyöni esittää, jätä kommentti ilman arvausta. Sano vaikka, että "tiedän, mitä työsi esittää". Voit osallistua kahdella "arpa...
