    Hmm… I can see some MAD FMQing in those fleshy bits between the bones really making this sing. FMQing is your next challenge, should you choose to accept it…

    I'm with you on the size dictating whether I quilt it or not. Mine is 5 blocks by 6 blocks with a 6 inch border. I still need to get a back made and arrange to get it to my long arm quilter. Unfortunately, due to financial constraints, I will probably not have it done in time for the final link up. But I assure you it will not sit here and languish! I will share it when it's done.

  3. Congratulations to Melissa! You lucky gal!

    If I wanted someone else to quilt it I would have to put all my tops in a "dry and dark" place and store them for another couple of years … so I will quilt it myself because I don't have the storage space …. and by now I'm a straight line outline quilting master … because I suck at FMQ – at least for the time being …

    It looks awesome, Molli.

    Sob, I have nothing to fmq or straight line quilt. I laughed at your comment the other day about someone always coming to the party late. Well, I'm the one that R.S.V.P.'d and then didn't even show up!!! The way I figure it, I'll be making this quilt about this time NEXT year!! But I'm loving seeing what you and everyone else is doing.

  6. I die Molli! And I'll take my pretty bobbins to my grave lol your quilt is as gorgeous as you are. I'm happy to give you a fMQ lesson anytime but sometimes SLQ is just right for the project at hand 🙂 well done on a beautiful quilt xx

  7. Aaaahhhhhhh! I'm so excited! Thanks so much!!

  8. When straight line quilting something with a million turns, I will actually free-motion quilt around the blocks so I don't have to turn the quilt, it takes some practice but it's not so hard and speeds everything up.

    However, an even more efficient technique is to send it to the long arm – brilliant!

    You're a Penn man? Small world, my dad taught there for a couple of years when I was little :o) My favourite place there was the broken button. What can I say, I was 3, and I could climb on it ;o)

  10. Nice job on all the straight line quilting. It's amazing what you can do with a walking foot 😉

  11. Non-denominational rainbow pattern FTW, I legit lol'd. 😛 (I really should look up why its called a "baptist" fan some time).

    I'm so in love with these beautiful rainbow quilts and definitely need to make one. Hopefully next year.

    FMQ ain't so hard, give it a go. I'm hoping someone gives me one to quilt on my long arm, I'm planning on getting seriously busy with the thread, probably a different motif for each strip.

    I have many blocks to go before I can quilt, but I plan on quilting the blocks before I sew them together to save my arms & shoulders from the weight of that quilt while maneuvering. I have not tried this method before, but another blogger uses QAG (quilt as you go) on many of her quilts, and these herringbone blocks seem like a good place to try it out. I'll let you know how it goes! I love the look of your quilt back. FMQ is not my thing yet!
