It is possible to make a quilt without any handwork; everything can be done on the sewing machine. Piecing and applique
are, of course, done a block at a time. For your first quilt, start with something small and simple. Some of the Quilt
in a Day books are good for beginners, because the instructions are very detailed. Their Log Cabin, Irish Chain, Trip
Around the World, Rail Fence are all especially good for beginners. You can quilt on your regular home machine, but
large quilts do get bulky and hard to handle. There are a number of techniques for reducing the bulk. Besides the
books & websites others have mentioned, you might want to take a look at "Machine Quilting in Sections"
by Marti Mitchell. She's gives several techniques for reducing the bulk of a large quilt; most of the ideas are
documented in other places, but I haven't seen anything else that describes all of them in one place. I've used a
couple of her techniques -- before I bought the book. I've documented one such project at

There are several methods of quilting as you go. Here are links that have descriptions of several methods. Please note
that while I reseached this a while back, I have not tried all of them, nor do I have any of these books on the subject.
* With this method, individual blocks or sections of a quilt can be done. It does require some hand work on the back.
Georgia Bonesteel's series of books, already mentiioned by Patti. http://www.secretsof.com/content/624
http://www.acornhillquilts.com/quiltasyougo.pdf * A method that requires no hand sewing. The batting in one section is
separate from the batting in another section. In the shown example, the quilting was done across strips of blocks that
were sewn together. http://community.webshots.com/album/547387259nozWsW * There is a variation on the previous one, but
for some reason I cannot find the link for it this morning. First the blocks are sewn together in strips (width or
length of the quilt). A single section is quilted, but not to the edges. The batting for the next section is sewn to
the batting in the already quilted section. The top strip for the next section is sewn to the top of the already
quilted section. The backing strip for the next section is sewn to the bottom of the already quilted section. The next
section is smoothed, basted and quilted (if it is not the outer edge of the quilt, do not quilt to the edges). Repeat
as needed. * A sashing on the back covers the seams. This sashing is machine sewn and shows on the front.
http://www.treadleon.net/quiltshop/joiningblocks/joining.html * Betty Cotton developed a different method, as shown on
her web site. The result is a reversible quilt, that has some three dimensional ridges. Betty appeared on "Sewing
with Nancy". I think there were three episodes on her "Pinetree" quilt. http://www.quiltyard.com/ *
Julie Olson has a method that uses Steam-a-Seam 2 and a bias tape maker that is described in her book.
http://tinyurl.com/ecw6p I'm sure there are others, as quilters tend to be so innovative. Bev in TX Sharon & Jack

Welcome to you Sharon Yes, the method of completing individual blocks and sewing them together is quite a well-known
one. There are several books on the subject. The ones I know of (without hunting too far in my pieces of paper with
notes on!) are by Georgia Bonesteel. The one I have is called 'Lap Quilting Lives'; but I'm sure there is an earlier
one. There are several methods of joining the blocks - there is no single correct way. I hope you'll get lots of help
with online sites, from folk here, and have a great time making your first quilt. Start simple and small, and you have
far less chance of getting frustrated. Have fun. .. In message

Yesterday I had the *great* pleasure of meeting Teri, her DH and her two adorable sons (Josh, the quilter, and Sammy of
the strong opinions <G>). They were in town for a tournament Teri wanted to participate in, and we were able to
meet for lunch. Some of you may think that Teri is delightful on the list. Let me tell you that she's *twice* as
delightful in person. <G> She brought Sammy's quilt for me to admire (and it's worth admiring, believe me!), as
well as some adorable knitted caps she's been making; and we (Teri, her DH Ken, and Sammy -- Josh was happily
entertaining himself at Kids Quest) had a long, leisurely talk as we ate a yummy lunch, served by a waiter named Bull;
he had hippy parents. <VBG> He was allergic to so many foods that he found it difficult to recommend any
particular thing, and he kept forgetting the lemon for my water because he can't touch lemons for fear of an allergic
reaction, poor guy! Ken thought I looked familiar, and I had to break the very sad news that I'm not <sigh>
famous for anything. <G> Sammy gave me an extra fork and informed me that it was *his* quilt I was fondling. ;)
Josh grinned modestly as he told me that he was a quilter, too. :) Teri and I talked about so many things that I can't
begin to list them all here. LOL! Here's hoping we'll be able to repeat our meet-up again soon! :) -- Sandy in

I've read that babies like bright colors, its their mamas that like pastels. Was about to finish a bright quilt for a
young woman who used to live next door to me when her sister told me the baby is a girl. So I'm making another in
shades of pink, florals, and green. I may give her a choice. Denise in NH wrote: [quote:bcab454e3a]I recently made a
brightly colored baby quilt with buterflies in the middle of neon colored churn dashes. I decided to give it to a
little guy from my church who just came home from the hospital, first time since his birth 7 months ago. I brought it
with me to church this morning to give to his grandmother, our pianist, but just before the service started, in walked
the parents with the tiniest little boy. At 7 months he is just under 10 pounds, the size of a newborn, but because of
his age, he holds his head up and carries his own bottle, such a funny sight. They sat in my pew and I think I totally
ignored the pastor to admire these young parents who have been to hell and back since their child's birth. He's had
multiple surgeries and still wears oxygen tubes and a tank. He really seemed to like the bright colors in the quilt.

Posted by Polly Esther on Sun Jul 16, 2006 7:32 PM    Post subject: Tea-dyeing, maybe not

I've just read that tea-dye contains tannic acid (tannin) and will destroy fabric in 30 to 40 years. I had always
*assumed* that tea-dye was harmless and had never thought it could be hurtful, especially since it's so quickly
recommended by so many. Many times, I've tea-dyed lace for trim on newborn size pink bonnets and hoped that baby's
mom would save the little bonnet for baby's own daughter. I haven't had any visions of making a quilt that Boston would
build a museum for but I suppose the effect of tea-dye on a baby bonnet or quilt would be the same. Perhaps tea-dye
isn't such a good idea. Polly

Posted by Polly Esther on Mon Jun 12, 2006 10:15 PM    Post subject: New Year's Resolution

One of my Resolutions was to try something new. I bought the book, 'Let's Make Waves' by Lily Marie Amaru and her
ruler for making curvy seams. The book is nicely written, the instructions and illustrations are good-natured, easy
to understand and thorough. The ruler is also fine. I only made one block just to test the idea. Easy. Really
easy. But, I am completely underwhelmed at the results. I've put enough sleeves in Barbie doll clothes to be able
to turn curves without a bobble. Not a problem. I just wasn't very excited about the extra time it takes to cut the
seams and stitch them weighed in with the minimal results. I think I'll save the book and the ruler to give to Kate
when we head over to a quilt show together. I imagine mailing that ruler would be a pain in the neck to wrap to put in
the mail. The other 'new to me' I want to try is Marsha McCloskey's Feathered Star Quilt Blocks 1. The front of
her book warns "Really hard blocks that take a long time to make". Is she kidding? Polly

For those wanting to participate but don't have a good supply of dots... never fear -- they are easy to find! Go to
www.quiltshops.com and click on ITEM SEARCH -- and type in FABRIC POLKA DOT and you will get back many shops (or
thumbnails -- you choose!) --- click on the link and you'll go right to the dotted fabrics they have for sale. So
lack of dots in the stash should not keep you from entering! Kate in MI http://community.webshots.com/user/K_Groves

Hi Bonnie, I replied to this message, yet it never posted. If you are going to do needle turn appliqué, be sure to add
the quarter inch...but these will still need to be stitched over with either blanket or tiny zig zag. I have seen this
block done "raw edge appliqué" where they leave the edges loose & let them fray. Those block are also
stitched in about 1/2" in. I personally feel that when the bullseye block is done that way, it gives me the
impression of a sloppy block. Our block will be stitched over the raw edge where there will be much less fraying. Teri

Sorry, I can't find the original message! I wanted to thank the person who sent me the link to missing fabrics!!! I
have had three replies to my request for Debbie Mumm School days fabric. I am so excited. I know I could use a lot of
other fabrics, make my own designs, and so on, but I had my heart set on the DM fabric because it so suits the teacher
for whom I will be making the quilt. It is so her. So, thank you so much for this link!!!! Claudia

Posted by Susan Laity Price on Fri Aug 11, 2006 4:49 AM    Post subject: Re: What's shirting?

If you are thinking of making a reproduction quilt from the 1800's shirting is the type of prints men's shirts were made
from at that time. The background is light (usually white or cream) and the print is tiny and usually only one color.
Often a shirting is cream with medium brown prints or white or off white with navy print. If using shirtings in a quilt
use 100% cotton. Susan Price On Thu, 10 Aug 2006 13:47:07 -0400, Marlene664@webtv.net (Marlene McCray) wrote:

There's a perfectly delightful fabric available here known as Swiss shirting, most often woven stripes. It's a little
lighter than LQS cottons, more like Liberty's Tana lawn in weight. (Somehow I didn't picture men in the 1800s wearing
printed shirts.) Roberta in D "Susan Laity Price" <slpdesigns@speakeasy.net> schrieb im Newsbeitrag

The print is very small and geometric. That is what separates shirtings from other cottons of the period. Women also
wore them with blouses made from them with dark skirts. Susan On Fri, 11 Aug 2006 15:01:04 +0200, "Roberta

Posted by Jean on Thu Sep 21, 2006 10:01 PM    Post subject: Re: Design Ideas?

Because of the age of the fabrics, very delicate, and the sentimental nature of the quilt blocks, I would not make them
into anything that is going to get used. Today's fabrics would not compliment the older fabrics, and you would not
want to cause damage to them. I would suggest some type of framing to display them. I have seen this done and it is a
very pretty way to preserve them. You may even with to add UV glass (this filters out the harmful rays). You need to
think like a museum curator and not a quilter. LOL Jean in MI "Nancy in NS" <eadon.east@yahoo.ca>

thought of appliqueing some flowers in the baskets and making a table runner from them, in combination with some other
coordinating fabric. As well, there are 40 - 2.5" triangle squares made from 1930's fabrics. These were hand
stitched and then machine stitched into larger blocks, but could easily be taken apart and incorporated
into...something. I'd like to make something from them for each of my daughters for Christmas as they adored their
great aunt who passed on a few years ago. Perhaps make them both table runners, placemats, etc If anyone has any
creative ideas, I'd love to hear them. It's not that these blocks are particularly pretty, but they do hold a lot of
sentimental value. Anna was a prolific quilter and is the one who urged me to make those first stitches. :) Photos of
the blocks are in my "Other Quilty Things" album. Thanks in advance for your input. Nancy in NS

I know if I never said anything none of you would 'see' it but I *KNOW* it's there and I can't come up with a solution
that I like let alone that I can live with. Been talking about the Poiple LC that I'm making for MOI on here for
awhile now...got the blocks done with a few left over....and now they are up on the design wall. Can't come up with a
design I like. What's the problem......well............somewhere between block 11 and block 12 I SWITCHED the way
things were going from: 1 2 3 to 3 2 1 To go a lil
further: the basic 1(butterfly on white) and 2 (white background with light purple swirlies) are the SAME on all 42
blocks........and then from 3 on they are different shades of lt/dk purple........until you get to log 11 (light
purple)on ALL 42 blocks: 12 (very dark swirly purple on dark purple ): and 13 (dark purple butterfly on purple
background)--they are the same on the first 11 blocks that I made....the rest are the same 2 dark purples. have tried a
number of ways but I just am not 'happy with the designs I have come up with Right now I have 6 across and 7 down and
I can go to 7 by 7 if you can come up with a better solution. don't tell me to 'try' them out on EQ4 cause it no longer
is on my compie (not sure where the CD went and I'm NOT unpacking any more boxes at this point in time) Combine this
with house hunting and Mr Joe not on top of the world and then yesterday learning my mom has been in hospital for a
week and will be going to a convalescent home for awhile.....I haven't been on here much. I'll be returning to OT and
PT now that De Boot is off and I will have another round of back shots next Tues ((thus the request for help))--gotta
keep 'busy' whilst being QUIET for 4 days after. Yes, I have considered making enuf blocks to finish all one way--and
put the opposite way ones into another quilt.......would mean making another 31 blocks.........with just the center
log and log 11 being the same. No I do NOT have a due date on this :) Butterfly (read today that is it 100 days until

Oh, Butterfly, I wish I could help with the blocks. But I have no eye for design and would come up with something that
looks like caca to you. On the other hand, I *can* help a little by sending prayers, good thoughts, and maybe some
inspiration to you. My wings may not be butterflywings, but they still carry what is needed and give hugs. Hope you
and Mr. Joe feel much better soon! -- Carolyn in The Old Pueblo If it ain't broke, you're not trying. --Red Green

Can you lay hands on a copy of that classic by Bonnie Leman and Judy Martin, "Log Cabin Quilts"? It includes
a couple pages of different sets of the same 64 LC blocks. Even if you have a different # of blocks, it's easy to
expand or decrease once you have something usable. Roberta in D "Butterflywings"

after. Yes, I have considered making enuf blocks to finish all one way--and put the opposite way ones into another
quilt.......would mean making another 31 blocks.........with just the center log and log 11 being the same. No I do NOT

Used the site that Ragmop suggested and am using the Maze Design. Doesn't show where I 'transposed' the blocks :). Have
all the light lines sewn and now I'll change threads and do the dark ones. Thanks again, all of you, for the
suggestions. Butterfly "Roberta Zollner" <rl.zollner@gmx.net.old> wrote in message

and I can't come up with a solution that I like let alone that I can live with. Been talking about the Poiple LC that
I'm making for MOI on here for awhile now...got the blocks done with a few left over....and now they are up on the
design wall. Can't come up with a design I like. What's the problem......well............somewhere between block 11 and
block 12 I SWITCHED the way things were going from: 1 2 3 to 3 2
1 To go a lil further: the basic 1(butterfly on white) and 2 (white background with light purple swirlies) are the SAME
on all 42 blocks........and then from 3 on they are different shades of lt/dk purple........until you get to log 11
(light purple)on ALL 42 blocks: 12 (very dark swirly purple on dark purple ): and 13 (dark purple butterfly on purple
background)--they are the same on the first 11 blocks that I made....the rest are the same 2 dark purples. have tried a
number of ways but I just am not 'happy with the designs I have come up with Right now I have 6 across and 7 down and I
can go to 7 by 7 if you can come up with a better solution. don't tell me to 'try' them out on EQ4 cause it no longer is
on my compie (not sure where the CD went and I'm NOT unpacking any more boxes at this point in time) Combine this with
house hunting and Mr Joe not on top of the world and then yesterday learning my mom has been in hospital for a week and

heres the google result page with a whole mess of links on making a quilt sleeve.
http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=quilt+sleeve&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 at the houston show
yesterday the really big/long quilts had to have two sleeves, one in usual place, one about a foot down from the top.
they'd use the lower one and fold the excess over the back of the rod inside the sleeve to hang it so it wasnt puddling
on the floor. hope this helps, jeanne currently in Katy, TX :) Boca Jan wrote: [quote:c6ceb5cc5c]I have not made a

If the WH doesn't hang perfectly to suit you, I've seen some that have an additional sleeve just above the bottom edge.
A dowel or piece of yardstick is slipped inside. Seems to control the tendency to misbehave. Polly "Boca
