I've never made a quilt, but someday I'd like to try...when my sewing machine and I start talking to one another again! xo PauletteBeedeebabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00245249753637268186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3275764662427704221.post-67948779670662404702010-12-23T12:33:26.000-08:002010-12-23T12:33:26.000-08:00Hi Lisa!

The ladies in my quilt group have tried to encourage me but well, I just don't do that way. I sew both sides with the machine but after I sew the binding on the first side I use clear thread on the the other side and I make my binding a half inch wider than normal. They are turning out really nice! I seem to complete more now than i did when I started. I think you need to do it the way you feel comfy!<br />~Blessings~<br />Donnamy cup of teahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08894780431460443932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3275764662427704221.post-89305697915046887732010-12-22T22:46:11.286-08:002010-12-22T22:46:11.286-08:00Love your quilt!

I'm getting a really nice sewing machine as a Christmas gift this year and I'm going to (hopefully) learn quilting and some other things I've always wanted to do!<br /><br />So I'm glad you ask all the hard questions for me! =) <br /><br />Oh and I got your email! Can't wait to see what's in the package! <br /><br />-KamishaKamishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09651881072374708557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3275764662427704221.post-78960489336861262202010-12-22T19:20:14.943-08:002010-12-22T19:20:14.943-08:00Your quilt is beautiful.

I mitre the corners, and I'm not sure you can do that when it's sewn by machine? I am soooooo loving the colours you've used, and the embroidered label. I will also admit...my first quilt had safety pins holding the binding on for many many years...that's how much I hate hand sewing the binding LOL! It actually went to it's grave with safety pins :) Can't wait to see your next project!suziteehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17945472950225116530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3275764662427704221.post-80719743520924309212010-12-21T00:12:42.822-08:002010-12-21T00:12:42.822-08:00I love that quilt~ the photos are great, but those...I love that quilt~ the photos are great, but those colors and prints are even yummier in person! I love the label~ makes it even more special. Girl, you are going to give me the bug for quilting if you keep making these beautiful quilts!

You did a great job on your first quilt. Have a wonderful weekend.

But I have only ever completed small wall hangings, which makes that a lot more tolerable. Someday (I swear!) I will finish the two bed quilts I have started, but I have no idea what I will do about the binding. I think sewing the binding is the worst part of quilting, and like you I am not looking forward to hand-sewing such a long binding.beadgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04545183481263349646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3275764662427704221.post-27428976028512233592010-12-20T12:02:32.233-08:002010-12-20T12:02:32.233-08:00This is one pretty quilt!

I too, am a brat! I too have no desire to sit for hours and sew straight lines that should not be seen! So I say, it's my way or the highway, people! That binding is going in the machine! By the way, your quilt is beautiful, and I love how you worked your label right in with your pretty embroidery.
