STICKING WITH THE FAMILIAR

I decided to stick to stippling, it fits comfortably and well....gotta get these baby quilts done.



Plain ole stippling and boy do I love to stipple, added a few loops to this one.



To think I was going to just throw this top away!!! Had a great day stippling...no ripping out at all...whohoooo....
This quilt has a flannel back, I thought it would just slide over the table but I was soooo wrong...I had to really work this quilt.

These tumblers were cut out with my Go cutter when I first got it.




Finished the binding on my son's quilt.




I have to work on a few things tomorrow that I can't show, one of the projects is on the towel swap I am in....the next is a design for a quilt....so....things may be quiet tomorrow.

    Great job. Like you I love stippling. I'd rather do a quilt that way now than just straight quilting. Again that material is awesome. Hugs

    Boy have you been busy. I only wish I could get that much done in a day. Even if I had a day off I could not get that much done. Maybe you can give me a few tricks.LOL

    Barb, these all look great. Some day I am going to learn to stipple or meander or whatever it is called. LOL I love all of them, but that tumbler quilt really caught my attention. I think they look so neat. I also love stars, so enjoyed seeing the one for your son. You have really been busy.

    Wow looks like you have been busy! The first 2 quilts are so striking with the white contrast. I love you choice of fabrics. I want to make a tumbler quilt also. Are they hard to put together? I saw somewhere that you could use the cardboard that comes with charm squares to make a pattern for a tumbler and it had very little waste.

    Boy, you get so much done. Love the quilts. Interesting..I call it stippling when it is very tiny and meandering when it is larger like this. Am I the only one?

    Oh, my gosh, you have really been busy. Love the quilts. I am like you in that I think I'll do this or that and stew about it a few days, then end up doing stippling. It's easy and familiar. Can't go wrong with that!

    Beautiful. I will never tire of the Drunkards Path die used for baby quilts. Love every one and these fabrics are spectacular, as are your other quilts. Difficult to pick my favorte, not that you asked, but I can't wait to hear what your son thinks of his quilt. It is spectacular. Great job!

    Hope you are feeling better.

    I love to stipple too and I can't get any of my bee buddies to try it. They expect to be perfect from the get go, and I told them it doesn't work like that. Yours is terrific. I know what you mean about flannel, it's almost as bad as Minkee. You really develop your upper body strength. I'm REALLY impressed with your productivity, and it all looks fabulous!

    Happy quilting,
    Susan in Texas

    PS I think I got Pierre Lapin done, but I'm not sure. lol
