I love how soft this one is.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I had just 10" squares of many of these fabrics and I added a few fat quarters. Funnily enough when it was sitting in the closet I happened to go into a quilt shop that had the same background fabric which I bought to go on the back. It of course uses my favorite <a href="http://www.hobbsbatting.com">Hobbs </a>80/20 cotton/poly batting, <a href="http://www.aurifil.com">Aurifil </a>thread, and I used <a href="http://www.schmetzneedles.com">Schmetz </a>Microtex needles, and my trusty <a href="http://www.oliso.com">Oliso </a>iron.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGVUCjWgtdL1UHLMEnpee8wVb7i3ue8WjLzMXJRexntG9LjaoA98Sl4CqrhZsO2jYBknGLI-G9_KlyGio4CrCgHIozbEzUtzvR9on0XybSOtbCTrcXGk8bHTclhQIZURdcYbPfFT7Am663G6nAArEqF7lMAQ44YshrtJUjqu2RF29LftdhlMq43RP75A/s2177/IMG_20240312_170658449.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2177" data-original-width="2160" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGVUCjWgtdL1UHLMEnpee8wVb7i3ue8WjLzMXJRexntG9LjaoA98Sl4CqrhZsO2jYBknGLI-G9_KlyGio4CrCgHIozbEzUtzvR9on0XybSOtbCTrcXGk8bHTclhQIZURdcYbPfFT7Am663G6nAArEqF7lMAQ44YshrtJUjqu2RF29LftdhlMq43RP75A/w636-h640/IMG_20240312_170658449.jpg" width="636" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I love the way the quilting looks on the back.</span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsnERB_HbnXg99VQo1pTGDdIhjkzmIMn5dmNdyBlIDv66Bse81l0p3tE53ZgP-3sC0lgMOKBeCOHiZZr8StyOUTAkhexu0caH56lwKcZ7bq7oUkjZEL8sC3bXGTmvcxyW_R0dIr-nIkfeSelOe5VmLcJ6XRxYYy9zqM7VJRLBiiO2QWS42vSpUYbKbPg/s4080/IMG_20240312_170713124.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4080" height="482" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsnERB_HbnXg99VQo1pTGDdIhjkzmIMn5dmNdyBlIDv66Bse81l0p3tE53ZgP-3sC0lgMOKBeCOHiZZr8StyOUTAkhexu0caH56lwKcZ7bq7oUkjZEL8sC3bXGTmvcxyW_R0dIr-nIkfeSelOe5VmLcJ6XRxYYy9zqM7VJRLBiiO2QWS42vSpUYbKbPg/w640-h482/IMG_20240312_170713124.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br />I hope you get to quilt today!</span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Suzy</span></p>Websterquilthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10435559978991805232noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067813718376269716.post-33677991443988482852024-03-13T20:41:00.005-05:002024-03-13T20:41:42.879-05:00Island Batik Ambassador's It's All Up To You Challenge<p><span style="font-size: large;">This month the <a href="http://www.islandbatik.com">Island Batik</a> Ambassadors were given the choice of what they wanted to create.

It is of course quilted in my favorite <a href="http://www.aurifil.com">Aurifil </a>Thread using <a href="http://www.schmetzneedles.com">Schmetz </a>Microtex needles.

I decided to use some of the multicolored fabrics as the bands to add sparkle. I then used more "solid" looking batiks for the stars. The funny part is that after I took this picture and cut my strips to make the stars with I totally changed up what I was putting together!

I fell in love with <a href="http://www.islandbatik.com">Island Batik's</a> Exuberance collection as soon as I saw it. All the deep pinks and blues with a pop of orange made me smile. It's an unusual color collection that I haven't worked with a lot which made it a lot of fun for me. I decided I wanted to play with a two block quilt where they come together to make interesting elements. Do you see the octagons make with the dark pinks and purples?

And there were 21. </span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMQYJIDPjVUYcJ5Sdtzejs7lI4MZfwH6AVa5arTaSdII8pVM7mq_4GMfW1FJr56bXNFb2I7kD-6syItHwwWwTOlIYxgldPYeHQKIZgqcRNhhUeHmf-p4icqZWCr3B4_G76BD0wFHx7kguYJp5gurc-5OPFuBsMvMHnFuTYq7S6A-Y865EtfudNIdw/s4080/IMG_20230102_185503222.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4080" data-original-width="3072" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMQYJIDPjVUYcJ5Sdtzejs7lI4MZfwH6AVa5arTaSdII8pVM7mq_4GMfW1FJr56bXNFb2I7kD-6syItHwwWwTOlIYxgldPYeHQKIZgqcRNhhUeHmf-p4icqZWCr3B4_G76BD0wFHx7kguYJp5gurc-5OPFuBsMvMHnFuTYq7S6A-Y865EtfudNIdw/w301-h400/IMG_20230102_185503222.jpg" width="301" /></span></a></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">After many hours of stuffing I was finally finished. With the rigidity of the end product (note to self, don't stuff it so full. OOPS.), I finally decided on a simple zigzag stitch to finish the edge because other than a TON of hand sewing it was the only way. Fortunately my <a href="http://www.schmetzneedles.com">Schmetz Microtex Needles</a> handled the job without any problems. I then took it out to our bazillion inches of snow in our yard for it's photo shoot.

I remember making a miniature Lone Star quilt when I was in middle school (I had no idea they were hard LOL), but I've never made a big one. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The first thing I did was head over to <a href="http://www.accuquilt.com">Accuquilt's </a>website to see what dies they had I could use to make a Lone Star. I chose the Carpenter's Wheel die as the diamond was larger than the Prairie Star die which finish at just 1 inch. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I then started to think about what I could put in the corners that would be interesting and different. I looked at a bunch of pictures online and I love the ones with complicated applique, but I didn't want to do a bunch of applique. Then I started looking at other Accuquilt Block on Board dies and came upon the Pickle Dish Die which is one of my favorites. It makes the quilt look like it has a circle around it!</span></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRQ3KHJAbbaW0uwwe4D1JmmAFrI2Z8KENC6ikZf1yviZtSTCiSLh2bJ5uXNR3dYPktEZPsHAz-GIfp86-C609fRQdo1xjKLWk4W-Vml8KUVq8KetXZZD0Kjz_XIqNuompYIhAIU1ScVYhpy5qb8fG5dp1zl349fXwrGv1EPVS_6_KSPVGjOtx-Opk/s1080/318820285_841173587128843_7880376881689848933_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1058" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRQ3KHJAbbaW0uwwe4D1JmmAFrI2Z8KENC6ikZf1yviZtSTCiSLh2bJ5uXNR3dYPktEZPsHAz-GIfp86-C609fRQdo1xjKLWk4W-Vml8KUVq8KetXZZD0Kjz_XIqNuompYIhAIU1ScVYhpy5qb8fG5dp1zl349fXwrGv1EPVS_6_KSPVGjOtx-Opk/w626-h640/318820285_841173587128843_7880376881689848933_n.jpg" width="626" /></span></a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh56Gfn0_-Rn7SypWol93Lcx9V1T4DkAWIWmbC0-OlShSy3-d6wkKHrQV3ZPIkpengERDgT7tIetxkTxgB8CTR-5YkHCZ5HdxnVZDg-FJD9yXL8xSjRJSjX8eE3Wk0XtJrwbiITXCEfRQ18x71EyA5Pza8d-2PZVvQt68fqr4wJjhduppEtHrKtKBY/s1600/Lone-Star-week-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh56Gfn0_-Rn7SypWol93Lcx9V1T4DkAWIWmbC0-OlShSy3-d6wkKHrQV3ZPIkpengERDgT7tIetxkTxgB8CTR-5YkHCZ5HdxnVZDg-FJD9yXL8xSjRJSjX8eE3Wk0XtJrwbiITXCEfRQ18x71EyA5Pza8d-2PZVvQt68fqr4wJjhduppEtHrKtKBY/w400-h400/Lone-Star-week-2.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">For this quilt I received the Copperfield collection by Claudia Pfeil.

I took my ruler and laid it along the bottom of the row and marked a line at 1/4" on each of the intersections. </span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5hHWbhB-XvLJ38HdCgWA6mKQ2sAwfw--FpPqPnCo6gc6Y0c2WHqRo9cTTP1uZHYNTm_3PQXWE_ITomBfM9aN_3HjdiqTGsI1-PyVUMf1Lhx_cEn0vX0j5IDFpr0WwxXDnk6e7LizdNukQj1XdK1JLilFc-lnKYxrZmYx9SsnCxKtNztQQL5x4dn4/s4160/IMG_20220809_125115868.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3120" data-original-width="4160" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5hHWbhB-XvLJ38HdCgWA6mKQ2sAwfw--FpPqPnCo6gc6Y0c2WHqRo9cTTP1uZHYNTm_3PQXWE_ITomBfM9aN_3HjdiqTGsI1-PyVUMf1Lhx_cEn0vX0j5IDFpr0WwxXDnk6e7LizdNukQj1XdK1JLilFc-lnKYxrZmYx9SsnCxKtNztQQL5x4dn4/w640-h480/IMG_20220809_125115868.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Here you can see my pink markings where I used a pin to align the rows (left) and then put in double pins to hold it securely (right).</span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1Izdgjl_y4uugxhxV0A2JzGUTLbWmV1X_46F6PJ9bTRQ8lKMAjLLNZN2ArmRBDPy5UFTCyO8R0B-XPK99rA8TLPlL3EKN82xTLJ7Kjv-mR32BplycxKpe9PUviCFKg5LDDRtc6xt2DugoVlU2bKOJiruyVsBqed27npgxi4N5ezAlDTw4NuEuFSA/s4160/IMG_20220809_125441235.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3120" data-original-width="4160" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1Izdgjl_y4uugxhxV0A2JzGUTLbWmV1X_46F6PJ9bTRQ8lKMAjLLNZN2ArmRBDPy5UFTCyO8R0B-XPK99rA8TLPlL3EKN82xTLJ7Kjv-mR32BplycxKpe9PUviCFKg5LDDRtc6xt2DugoVlU2bKOJiruyVsBqed27npgxi4N5ezAlDTw4NuEuFSA/w640-h480/IMG_20220809_125441235.jpg" width="640" /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">With eight diamonds and 8 rows in each diamond there was a lot of stitching going on.

Now to add in the squares and triangles around the edge. This means y-seams. Y-seams and I do not have a good history. I am not terribly good at them. I was lamenting this to my mom, a fellow quilter, and she gave me the best piece of advice. Mark a dot 1/4 inch from the edge where you need to stop stitching. Once you get the needle in that dot backstitch about 1/2 inch so that the stitches can't come out. GENIUS. It worked like a charm and I have definitely improved my relationship with y-seams.</span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQCq89gXz_lEG8WpsanUNiHPHlDMR4nwOOZmBD6nKLUfmMvmyX3tjHW_jfS4Og2yJg38d4OXPfr7-vz6ybvksqFr9MQ-y5_8ufayUIGtDzSpBW39zNAgMNW2qvPN1fBkmG4hkFdWsWMkNyVFdx59FyIQOu-hhdRZn5KhEa-gqEbHPc8nC_iw5zv8U/s4160/IMG_20220810_151305040.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4160" data-original-width="3120" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQCq89gXz_lEG8WpsanUNiHPHlDMR4nwOOZmBD6nKLUfmMvmyX3tjHW_jfS4Og2yJg38d4OXPfr7-vz6ybvksqFr9MQ-y5_8ufayUIGtDzSpBW39zNAgMNW2qvPN1fBkmG4hkFdWsWMkNyVFdx59FyIQOu-hhdRZn5KhEa-gqEbHPc8nC_iw5zv8U/w480-h640/IMG_20220810_151305040.jpg" width="480" /></span></a></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I decided to quilt my entire quilt in orange <a href="http://www.aurifil.com">Aurifil </a>thread and my favorite <a href="http://www.hobbsbatting.com">Hobbs </a>80/20 cotton/poly batting.
