ANYHOO...this is Gail's quilt. I just finished it a couple of days ago. She has the most coolest vintage fabrics. The yellow butterfly brought back sweet memories because we had those sheets when I was growing up...lol! I put an iron-on stabilizer on each block. All of the fabrics needed a little support and by adding the stabilizer this quilt should last a very long time. I read on someone's blog about using stabilizer because I wouldn't have known. Gail found the perfect binding to go with her quilt, it's from the Dream On line. The backing was supposed to be all Bella Solid white. But I also had some yardage from the Dream On collection and decided to add a 5 inch strip to the middle of the backing (pic #4). I love everything about this quilt...the fabric & style just fit. I can't wait for Gail to see it in person because quilts are so much more beautiful in person.
I'm looking forward to doing some blog surfing tomorrow. I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.
ps...when I took pictures of the quilts on the the fallen tree, I had a sheet underneath the quilt.
The quilt is really pretty, colorful and bright. The only thing I have ever used the fusible stabilizer on was a tee-shirt quilt, and I can see where vintage fabrics would be so soft and/or worn that they would need a little support. Beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteThat is just so gorgeous - reminds me of long summer nights - sleeping on the screened in porch at the lake. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteTry signing out of blogger, then signing back in, but leaving the little "remember me" box unchecked. That's worked for several people who have been having trouble leaving comments, NO clue why!
Very pretty quilt, Michelle.
ReplyDeleteI was having lots of problems leaving comments and then I read somewhere to unclick "leave me signed on" on the sign in screen and that will help.
What a lovely quilt!
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt. Like others have mentioned - uncheck the leave me signed on and you will be back.
ReplyDeleteI love Gail's quilt! I too am having problems leaving comments and I do have the "leave me signed in" checked but I still have to enter my name/url every time ):
ReplyDeleteIt is a gorgeous quilt. I love the butterfly.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beauty! Love the soft colors.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteIf you are still having commenting problems, Terry gave us a clue and I have had no other problems since. When you are taken to your sign in screen just uncheck the box that asks if you want to stay signed in. Don't ask me why it works, but it did for me.
Beautiful quilt! I see a fabric in there that I think I had sheets out of too long ago! LOL I had trouble commenting for weeks, and someone told me to uncheck the "Keep me signed in" box and I've not had a bit of trouble commenting since. Hope it works for you! :0)
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is beautiful. Everything about it. It says home and love. You did so good!
ReplyDeleteLove, love love that quilt! You did a wonderful job!! And, thanks for the tip on the stabilizer, too! It's just so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWonderful quilt! What an exciting finish :-) Good idea to put a sheet on the log! Lovely photo :-)
ReplyDeleteI wish I would've saved some of my sheets when I was young (ya know...back in the dinosaur days lol)....they'd be vintage now...(yep, meee...I'm really vintage! lol)
ReplyDeletePretty quilt...it has a soft relaxing "feel"
