White Quilt -
PortlandMaine   Advanced Beginner ME USA Member since 1/29/11 Posts: 1669	Login to reply to this post 5 members like this. Date: 2/18/13 5:45 AM I got a commission to make a white quilt. The person wanted a pattern I had made before. They had the dollars so I just let them know white on white would not show the pattern much - they were fine with that. Its a beautiful quilt. Most of the blocks dropped out as i knew they would - but, there is that whole layer of dramatic piecing under there if someone wants to find it. The pattern is the same as the quilt below - I got lots of practice cutting diamonds and doing set in seams. ------ Drag queen quilter!

I can see why someone would want the white on white. And I'm glad to see you're getting some business, word of mouth works wonders. You do beautiful work. ------ Linda Bernina 830LE Bernina B530 Janome 6600P Pfaff 1209 Babylock Evolution Janome 644D

The white on white should make the quilting POP! Can totally see this in a minimalist home draped across a linen sofa.

I looked at the piecing photos on your blog; the details are lost on the PR photos. I'd love to see the finished quilt on your blog. The colored version is a knock out. I really admire your work. ------ Teresa 2 Berninas; 710 & 230PE, 3 Janome 1100D, Coverpro 1000 CPX, & 3160QDC

I am doing really well with that $ thing. Last week I did three shows and the people who I see face to face were as kind to me as people who I know from the online world. I think it is going to work out. Im very close. The quilting was so much fun to do for this quilt. I decided while I was doing it that Im going to make myself one like it - only it is going to be a whole cloth quilt with thread painting and designs all over it. This week is school break. I have so much to do. I put the binding on this quilt today. I have a show in a little bit - and then its off to the races. I have a "fiesta" quilted table cloth to make. I love having more work than I feel like I can keep up with. ------ Drag queen quilter!

Portland, how do you get such nice, random piece placement? Whenever I do scrap, crazy, or random blocks, I'm never happy with the result. Yours always look so natural. Do you have a system??
