Something interesting happened when I started sewing them together, I realised that the blocks had shrunk more in one direction, than in the other. We always expect some shrinkage with applique, but you would expect it to be uniform. I used my trusty steam iron, and they kind of went back to the original size.
I don;t thing there is any right way up with this quilt - it does seem to be a bit all over the place as far as direction goes. I will pretend that was the plan :-)
Now, I really want to start something new. I have this red/black/cream applique quilt in my head and it really needs to be started. I have been collecting black fabrics for a while, so no excuses.
dear wendy,your top is gorgeous,congrats to the finish and merry chrismas and a happy,healthy new year,susi
ReplyDeleteYou've done really well doing all those applique blocks! Your quilt top looks great, it'll be wonderful once its quilted and on the bed!!! Wonderful work! Have a lovely Christmas season!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on completing the top! Amazing! Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Wendy.
As beautiful as I imagined it would be
ReplyDeleteThe quilt top is wonderful and congratulations on getting it to the stage of being a pieced top. Have a wonderful Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI admire your tenacity in sticking with making your blocks for the Circuit Rider quilt. It was well worth all the time you have spent on it.
ReplyDeleteI think I like your combination/selection better than the original CR. Maybe a new name just for yours? 'Something' Album Quilt.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beauty!!
Your Circut Rider quilt top is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI like that the quilt has no "direction". I live in the USA and I enjoyed both your pattern and Quilters profile in Patchwork and Quilting. Well done!! I am excited to see what you create next
