| Last page was gettting rather long and there is still a lot of winter left.
Came from here: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1236305/
This is a quilt top I made 5+ years ago. Finally got it quilted and gave it to a good friend for Christmas.

| Beautiful, cher- so the blocks around the edge are all D9P-? and the center- are they appliques or fussy cuts from fabric? It's hard to tell from the photo. I like the sashing- I noticed you don't have sashing on the top and bottom-or am I seeing wrong? I am interested in having a center like that. |

| Hi Jo, Yes the outsides are all D9P's, No there is no sashing on outside I am just going to put border around that. The center is all Rose of Sharon flowers fused I will machine applique those and the teapot is embroidered. I was going to border it in the same color as center but I might use the Dark purple instead.

| I made this one for a friend of my grand daughters whose father committed suicide a few months ago. My dil is making one with space aliens on it for her little brother. The fabric in this one was in a kit but I changed the pattern and managed to use nearly all the fabric. I had made 30 pinwheel blocks and finally decided to finish it last week. The first in a series (I hope!) of finished ufo's. The little blue chair is what I use to stand on to get the height I need to hang up the quilt top.

I really, really like it. Just love the colors. Anyway, in my quest to get some things finished, I dug it out and have been working on it for the last two days. It is called 'Durango Pinwheels'. (Hmmmmm. Do I detect a theme here?) Getting the little blue pinwheels to come out half way right is very painstaking. At least for me. They are a long way from perfect but at least it will be done.

I really like red, but would that be to much?! Maybe black? Also leaning to a good rich golden color. I also am planning on using black batting, Hobbs Heirloom 80/20. I can get that by the yard, 108" wide. Maybe I'd better get two six packs of Corona... Tomorrow I'll be working on the borders again.

| Wow morknotmindy your a busy quilter beautiful work.
No Jo you are not confused I did 2 1/2 inch sash between all D9P blocks the center block is the same fabric and I did not sash the outside I thought I would just be different and put the border right against the blocks. I may use the same fabric as sashing but I am leaning towards a different color.
LOL it may be up for grabs if she doesn't like it but she loves the scrappy look and teapots so I should be good. Although scrappy it ain't DH has no idea that I bought this fabric this way he thought I had collected it all. I think it best he think that instead I bought this line of fabric from Moda in F8 strips. I couldn't help it I just fell in love with this line it is called Terrain. Funny though the green center and sashing I did have in my stash and it is also Moda I just adore their fabric.

I will take the dark to the store, as one of you suggested, to match it up. In the meantime, I have been working on a little corner of the basement setting up the sewing machine and drawers, etc... It finally stopped snowing here, so hopefully I can get out this week and if I find fabric, I can start cutting! |

Who would have thought that a floral area rug would be good camoflage for cat?? With her white, oranges and blacks she hides REALLY well on that rug! I recently looked at the valance in my sewing room and realized it's a MESS with all her hair on it! I have shelves under the window and when she's at the window looking out, the valance is next to her. I love my cat but... I'm not sure how many years it would take me to replace her if she were gone..

| Love the Quilts M&M. Barb... Kaluha... Went to key West with a couple of friends when I was 35 and just out of a 7 yr relationship. There's a bar there that sells only frozen drinks, all in Slushy-type machines, and they're very generous. I LOVE white russians and they had that... tasted like a milk shake. After I was into my second one, we went to the jewelry store next door. That's how I got my ear pierced. I have such good friends... they kinda knew that I was a lightweight with alcohol. In undergrad, my frat brothers called me 'Two Brew Stu'. I had been considering an ear piercing, but was too uptight to get it. Thankfully, I never had a desire for a tattoo... |

I need to go thru some of the fabric here & decide what needs to go back with me. Actually, next time I come down I need to bring some rotary cutters and cutting mat so I can take back just what I need. I found an interesting pattern using B/W and then BRIGHTS.

| Jo - since the fabrics are so scrappy perhaps just a 9 patch and separate them with a thin dark sashing. I don't think you'd get the D9P effect without having a focus fabric.
Gloria - I'm guessing the 1/2 sq triangles are 1 1/2" or less and just put around a large 1/2 sq triangle. I just need to locate that are large enough to get the large triangle cut. |

I like that Idea too Barb the solid color will make them pop.

| I usually only turn two of the quarters, upper right and lower left. That way there is continuity in the placement of the small squares. You could turn all four as long as you give them each the same turn. Or turn any other two for that matter. |

| Jo... really it's what's right for you. A D9P can show a pattern or not, depending on what you like. Another option is to keep one color more to one end of the block and another towards the other end, then match the blocks up like dominos so that similar colors meet. It can be a neat effect and with hues of yellows, blues, greens, etc, the pieces within the color area don't have to be identical, just blend together. But, if you like the blocks the way you have them, that's all that really matters. Eventually, you'll experiment with the effects of center blocks, pattern changes, etc. as you get more comfortable playing.
Edited to say: That's my opinion only. .

I think that is the reason I have resisted making quilts all these years is because I just can't be boxed in to following rules ans set patterns.

BTW, just have to say that I didn't know that I was in the company of so many lushes... Kahlua in cake, on ice cream, straight up, on the lanai, while taking a bubble bath, just for the heck of it... Boy, I new I came to the right forum. |

| To Stu and everyone else-- I am LOVING this thread- I think I have found my soulmates here! (I wanted to make a comment about the alcohol, but being a newbie here I was afraid I might get misunderstood)- I love Kahlua and Bailey's and all other "sissy" drinks! My problem is that ever since I had an allergic reaction to sulfa drugs about a year ago, any alcohol makes my face burn intensly- But sometimes I sip one anyway, especially if I have had a rough day... Stu, I promise I will send photos as I go along. |

| When all is said and done, whichever pattern, regardless of fabrics used they are all treasures...
Keep looking at all Christmas fabrics I've left so today I went pattern searching..found one that is a table runner, middle insert ' poinsettia' could be made into placemats..ordered pattern only to see its spectacular color of middle poinsettia and fading side ones is best done in batiques..no batiques of required colors do I have... good reason to shop at Joann's in the next week or so..never fails..you always need what you don't have! |

| Well, the winter boredom got to me, so I dug out this UFO from last year. I totally invented it- I wanted a bedspread for my queen bed, that will go way down to the floor, so it's well over 100" both ways. I do not like 4 or 8 point stars, so I designed this hexagon pinwheel. (I have discovered that hex is so much harder then octo-) It is partly sewed together, and partly pinned. With all the folding and wrinkles it's not too easy to see, but you can get the idea. After having it packed up for a year it was hard to see what went where! (all the rows are not in place yet.)Now I have a lot of sewing to do. The solid dark blue center blocks will have some sort of machine embroidered motif- don't know yet. Machine embroidery is another of my passions, along with gardening.

| Hubs surgery went very well !! thanks for the thoughts and prayers :) the doc said it was a "clean and easy operation" "should alleviate quite a bit of his constant pain" neither one of us got much sleep last night, so I sure hope we can both get some tonight...He is at the hospital, and will most likely have to stay tomorrow night too :( all depends on how he does in physical therapy...
I am very tired, and could probably fall to sleep quite easily...but I am afraid I will sleep a few hours and then wake up and not be able to get back to sleep, so I am forcing myself to stay up a while longer...
Betty that runner is gonna be gorgeous!!
Jo I love the batiks blocks...the important thing is do you??? if so...go for it...
this is one I did for one of my boys, wild and crazy ! ! Just like he is ! ! only sense to it is I used a green for every center in the 9 P, turned those puppies every which way...totally made with scraps.

| For the 1st time in forever I have a weekend with nothing on the calendar. So after a trip out for groceries I am free to just sew & quilt the weekend away!!!! l do have a JoAnn's coupon & could use some backing fabrics so I may need to head there later today.
And, with them calling for rain starting ~noon and then a wintery mess tomorrow AM turning back to rain, I think staying in sounds WONDERFUL. And I have pieces for at least 4 childrens quilts cut out & waiting to be attached.
Just watched a Fons & Ported episode where they were painting fabric. Had some "loud" floral B&W and then painted the flowers here & there and then embelished with accent stitching. Now that looked very interesting.

| So I went to the Commissary. Came home & unloaded groceries. DH informed me he needed batteries for his blood sugar tester so back out to Jo Ann's & then 2 stores to find batteries.
Home again to find out people want to come by to see the house btwn 5-6. So laundry moved along & got folded and some sweeping needed done. And I even stopped to have a sandwich.
Now, here it is 1PM and I'm just now heading down to do my quilting...

| Hi all- I've been *away* for awhile- had my throat surgery and am recovered- back to stitching. Got some food for thought- I have my pinwheel bedquilt sewed and embroidered- ready for the next step. I have a thriftshop king sateen sheet I will use to back it-no batting-it will be a light bedspread. Since I figgered this out from scratch I have no guidelines- I think I want to do simple machine stitching- echo or stitch in the ditch- it is already busy enough. So how about some input- I will welcome all! When I pin should I do the center first, sew some then work my way out? I have zero experience here- All my patchwork has been small lap size or wallhanging- Thanks a bunch-Jo in foggy WA

| This is nice soft cotton sateen-not slick- I learned about that crawley stuff long ago! I have found some great sheets at thrift shops- people want polycotton- the good cotton ones don't sell!
Since I used ecru thread for the machine embroidery would that be best for all the other stitching? That is my thinking-? |

Yesterday, started and finished the front for the wall Q for Best of Opposite trophy for our Nationals this year. Started on the Best of Winners wall Q today and then will go on to the Best of Breed lap Q. Am also doing a Lap Q for the fundraising auction. Also yesterday, put the border on a sofa lap Q that I made for my SO. I had bought 36 nine patchs already made from Ebay cause I loved the fabrics she used. I quartered the blocks and then sewed the quarters all in the same orientation. Will post pics when I get to the camera sometime this week. |

| I'm making progress-slowly. It isn't too difficult maneuvering it to machine stitch, since it has no batting- I'm about hafl done outlining the dk blue hexagons with a triple straight stitch to match the machine embroidery. I like it. Don't know what will be next- possibly just tying the centers of the pinwheels and tieing off on the back.

This is my Oscar the Minor Weener, a mini doxie. He's staying with my aunt while I'm in TN. This is working so well for us all as my granddaughter isn't allowed to have pets where she lives. My aunt just lost her dog to old age and diabetes a while back and was missing her so much. She has always been very fond of Oscar and he is company for her now with my uncle in a care facility. This is sooo funny because every time I tried to put clothes on him, he would turn himself inside out trying to get out of them. Gee, I hope I'm going to get him back. LOL

| Including the time it takes to join the strips to each other (I did it on the slant as shown on the video.) It took me about 3.5 hours. Of course, my bobbin ran out and I wasn't aware so I sewed one strip twice. And then Norm called me for dinner. So I'm thinking the total was about three hours. I did not press after each seam - I'll do that before I decide what to do with it.
It still amazes me that there were only five seams to sew!!!!! As I said, the first one took forever and then each one the time is cut in half. I think if I make another one, when I get to the end of a strip and cut across the bottom, I will look and check color placement. I saved several pieces to use as a binding and two of them are green. I'm hoping some green binding in the areas that are soooo blue will even it off a bit.
Another thing with this one; this jelly roll had four and five strips of the same fabrics. I would like to try it again with one where all the strips are different. Also, I neglected to count how many strips I used!!!! Quite the learning experience... |

| Well- My quilt is finished- almost. It is really rough and primitive- totally from my head, with no idea what to do as I went. I simply serged the edges and turned the hem under- didn't feel like doing a binding. Someday I will use dark blue thread and sew hand Candlewick stitches in the center of each pinwheel- there are nearly 60 of them, so it will be later. A friend suggested tying the centers, but I think candlewick will be prettier.- Will I need special thread for that ? I have done machine candlewick, but not hand. I used to have a friend who was a master at it, but I never paid any attention at the time!

Jo, your quilt is just outstanding! I think your idea of blue candlewicking is great! I don't know anything really about candlewicking. I think maybe pearl cotton would work and it comes in lots of colors so you should be able to find the right color. Or maybe a size 10 crochet cotton. Lizbeth makes a wonderful thread, lots of colors. I'll try to find that site again and give you the addy. I found it looking for tatting thread and spent lots of time drooling over all that beautiful thread.
Barb, just love that top!! I have a roll somewhere that I won in a drawing and haven't figured out what to do with it as it is not 'my' colors. Now I know what to make with it. Thanks for the inspiration! I'm on a roll!!! |

For photos, I've found the easiest way to put them in the puter and keep track of them was to right click on screen,(anywhere it's blank will do), click New..File..name it photos, and then just drag and drop all my photos in to it. I give each a unique name and they will be auto sorted alphabetically. To keep like photos together, I start their name with the same word I.E. Quilt,D9P or add the date.
For my great grands, I put their name first and then age if in months or the event. That way I can find any photo of any child more quickly. The same works for quilts or what ever.

| Gee, re-reading that, it was a bit confusing. Of course you have to load them in first. If they are on a flashdrive, just plug it into a USB port and I believe they should open up on your screen. From there you should be able to drag and drop into the photo file. |

| Well, after Grandparents Day today I decided to stop by Joannes and check out their jelly rolls. NADA!!!!!!! I found precut everything but jelly rolls so guess I will check out Green Fairy Quilts and see if anything appeals to me. Maybe I should say, "doesn't appeal" to me to be truthful.
A note to anyone who I have been in touch with via emails. Yesterday my account was hacked and weird things were sent to a lot of people. If you happened to be one of them, please delete, it is trash, junk or just plain bad. Sorry and I hope no one had any problems if they did receive something. |

| Marion, change the password to your email and that will reduce future hacking now that they have got that figured out.
I got hacked a while back. "My account" sent out lots of junk including a link to porn for my adult son!! YIKES!! LOL I got this tongue in check "Thanks for thinking of me Mom!" from the son! |

| I had fun with it Helene and she should be able to go with it. She may need some guidance in joining the strips together end to end. It is done on the slant. Other than that it is a piece of cake!!!! |

| Not quilting, but sewing- I have to show off this set of floral embroidery designs I just stitched out. (They came from http://www.emblibrary.com/EL/Default.aspx on sale this week. I put them on some vintage muslin that hubby's aunt had- probably 70 years old- it's lovely! Have no idea what they will be- maybe a wall hanging? I can see them with some muted batiks-

| They fit in the 5x7" Baby Lock hoop. They are available larger, but that size is my favorite.
