Quilting Makes the Quilt

In my last post, I showed a Rebuilt Log Cabin top, that I call my "Homely Quilt." It didn't have much going for it, but I felt sure when it quilted, it would be just fine - I am right! I have 3 more wide borders only - my goodness I couldn't stop once I started quilting it!

Below are some photos of free-motion quilting in the 8 inch border. I'm liking it!

These snakey things are 2 flexible rulers I have that I use to get a similar curve on each corner and side.

  2. I love seeing your free motion quilting. It inspires me with new designs. I did some quilting today, too, and will e posting pics soon.

    It feels so good to finish a quilt. I have about 4 feet of binding one one side to finish on a double-bed sized Bull's Eye quilt.

  3. Great job on the quilting on your latest log cabin quilt. The quilting you can do on your home machine is inspiring to say the least.

  4. Very nice. Do you use your flexi ruler for marking or follow it with your machine? I could probably use mine on my frame...never thought of it.

  5. You look like you had a lot of fun with the quilting, another great job Elaine!

    I so love that block design (I printed out your posts with the instructions). I've got that one on the project list for next year.

  6. Beautiful quilting designs...have a short flex ruler but not a long one. Where did you get it?

  7. I've often seen a so-so quilt become a wow quilt through the hands of the quilter. Quilting is an art that transforms the canvas (quilt) to something we often only dream. blessings, marlene
