You don't necessarily need her rulers to trim them up (she used a regular ruler in her early demonstrations of it) but I will say they speed the process up that much more. For paper piecing paper, I love to sue drawing pads from the dollar store. they're a comparable weight to newsprint and a bargain.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing at Val's!Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17845920248231910491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4323743198214996449.post-90188272267725220062014-08-27T06:12:22.826-07:002014-08-27T06:12:22.826-07:00The quilting is impressive.

I'm not a huge fan of those shadows shapes as they kind of distracting me from the pretty colors and pattern but I like the look of those on back side. Binding sometimes sucks and people don't talk about binding too much. I pull it tiny bit while sewing it on otherwise it gets all wonky and I hate that.Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15409349556815617229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4323743198214996449.post-77402767045707802112014-08-22T15:23:42.878-07:002014-08-22T15:23:42.878-07:00This is amazing.

I don't know how I ever quilted without glue and glue sticks! I used to think the clover clips were the rats ass until I tried Elmer's! Makes the quilt so much easier to bind and it's much more sturdy for portability (I never HANDSTITCHING at home, only when it's my only option!).<br />Your quilting looks great. I agree about the stars being too puffy! I thnk one large swirl would look great in the middle of them...keeping it more open of course. As always, the finish is beautiful. Can't wait to see the next project!<br />Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755611379189841510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4323743198214996449.post-58628210709704125752014-08-20T19:48:56.160-07:002014-08-20T19:48:56.160-07:00Congrats on getting it finished!

I love the basket weave sections and love the spirals. As for quilting down a little inside the stars and pinwheels, I agree, they need something. I like the echo you did in the one. Not sure on the flower idea as it seems to conflict with the idea of spin...what about a circle ("spin me right round, baby right round") get it?! I'm serious though, or maybe an 8 or 10-sided shape that's easier to stitch and circle-like?Sandra Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17737049269550479188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4323743198214996449.post-25969635266553448802014-08-20T06:46:22.292-07:002014-08-20T06:46:22.292-07:00What a fabulous quilting!
