My Barbara Brackman Civil War quilt is back from the longarm quilter. It just needs binding and have decided to call this one Butternut and Blue.
This was an online block a week. their were 52 blocks in BB's but I only got half way. This is still big enough for me.
Barbara at
http://www.firtreequilting.com/ tells me it is machine guided rather than longarm quited which I understand is computerised. Well It's a great job and I am happy.
Your quilt turned out lovely. I, too, only made it halfway with the Civil War blocks and then my interest waned. I made a large center, used many of my favorite blocks to surround it, and then appliqued a border. It's not quilted yet but it turned out great.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Interesting comment from your quilter - everyone here in the states that I know still call this "machine quilting" or "longarm quilting".
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Sue, love the touch of yellow for a sparkle amongst the soft blues.
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful Sue !! - a nice pattern with the blocks set on point . I like the lime / yellow touches too, and the way all the colours harmonize so nicely.

Sue, it is beautiful!!! And I love the light background and the border, as well as your choice of fabrics, really lovely :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is really lovely Sue!! I can't imagine how big it would be if you made them all.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great Sue. I have not heard that definition before on quilting. Well done for making something of the ones you did finish. I peaked at two.
ReplyDeleteoh Sue, its beautiful, i love the soft look of it and such pretty fabrics. congrats on another great finish. have fun binding :). Yes, lately I have heard them using different terms for machine quilting as there is a huge difference between someone using a pantograph and someone doing custom quilting and I think they are trying to distinguish that even more.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing

Your CW quilt looks fabulous and I am now feeling very guilty that my 52 plus blocks are sitting in a heap and unfinished. Take care.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning quilt! Lovely fabric choice! Do you know if the patterns are still on BB's blog?
ReplyDeleteVery nice finish. I like the colors you chose and the sashing.
ReplyDeleteHer digital quilting design is really pretty too.
What a beautiful quilt! Your fabric choices are lovely! And hand guided quilting is a real talent! I love your header quilt too.
ReplyDeleteSecond comment from me.. Today i got the Civil war quilt book, what a nice book! I surely want to make some of these blocks! And i will look at your quilt as an inspiration. Hopefully i will see the Lincoln movie tonight! What is the size of your blocks? The book has two sizes, i think.
