There are multiple ways to do things, and everyone find their comfort zone, hopefully. There is so much room in this wide world of quilting for every style and technique! I have been contemplating the Sarah Fielke quilt along. Your color scheme for that is beautiful!

Is that what you mean? If it is then your Australian Bridget Giblin is a great source. I am hand piecing a Trip Around The World that she organised.<br />Can you tell me how you mark you quilts for HQ. Do you mark before basting or as you go.

I decided to join you on the SVAB.Seems that the first block(pineapple), the first pieces are so small. Just yesterday I was trying another method, glue basting. Maybe this will work. I just know if I get past these little parts, the rest should be better. Love your posts. Like having a jogging buddy on the marathon!

So many fail as they want perfection and you and I know there is no such thing in quilting. However the more we practice and learn it really becomes quite natural to be talented with a needle. I guess that is why I love hand work so much! Love how the diagonal lines look on your civil war bride. I haven't found any time yet this week to quilt but plan a big day of it tomorrow.Carla A Few Of My Favorite Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782840958923418159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391988816380415741.post-73584705085621386192016-02-10T12:16:30.637+11:002016-02-10T12:16:30.637+11:00Like so many others, the term American piecing was...Like so many others, the term American piecing was unfamiliar. You are gifted on all levels though and your pleateau gives us motivation. Love the fabric you chose for your hexies that make up the book cover. And how nice to see the directional quilting lines in your CWB - it is what I chose to do in my Cherry Tree quilt but my lines are farther apart - I should have gone narrower! Your newest SVBQ block is lovely.

I always try to do the best work that I can. I think that even when we plateau there are always tiny little improvements that happen! Your CWB is looking spectacular; the quilting truly enhances all of your lovely applique.<br /><br />I had never heard the term American piecing and had to look it up. In Canada we just call it piecing whether done by hand or by machine!

The quilting on your CWB quilt is fabulous. It looks gorgeous in your standing hoop. You amaze me at how fast it progresses. You will have a finished Bride quilt soon. I love the double parallel lines in the border. And the applique block at the beginning of your post is beautiful as well.
