What size blocks are you making? Might have to use that idea to use as a leader ender project.

This would be a phenominal picture printed onto a stretched canvas for art work in your home as a surprise gift for father's Day or Christmas, etc..... One to be cherished by future generations I'm sure too. It's perfect.Quiltsmileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04346313090377024308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5907351225641788258.post-12295176562902253632015-03-11T00:54:44.460-06:002015-03-11T00:54:44.460-06:00Oh my!!!!

Okay, so don't laugh, but as much as I enjoyed the 'quilty' things in this post, my *favorite* things were the photos of the horses (especially the one where the horse is looking over its shoulder back at you), the photo of the cat (which is kinda quilty), and the photo of the bar stool ... who's sitting in it??! I've never seen stools like these anywhere but in Texas!!Denise :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07306906507013593208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5907351225641788258.post-85731723917009794072015-03-01T23:29:50.250-07:002015-03-01T23:29:50.250-07:00Now I see what's happening with those string a...Now I see what's happening with those string and square-in-square blocks. That will be such a beautiful quilt.<br /><br />I love your blue, blue skies, especially seeing them in February and March.

As for what I do with so many quilts - I seems to give the majority of them away. There are always plenty here to grab when someone gets chilly, but I seem to give at least half of what I make away to friends, Ranch Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08581852590008365006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5907351225641788258.post-75403894742655103792015-02-16T07:57:26.652-07:002015-02-16T07:57:26.652-07:00I was wondering what you do with so many quilts.

Mostly due to me not changing my needle every 8 hours of sewing! Needle gets dull leads to it not going into material smoothly, leads to parts inside breaking! LESSON LEARNED! I now make note of sewing time.

I also am not a fan of trimming, but it's gotta be done. Like Beth, I like your square in a square better than the "all the way to the edge" design. Please share technique or source.
