Scrappy fourpatch star
I finished this quilt today. Made it for a coworker who broke up with her husband after 30 years and moved into her own apartment... I desided in this situation she must have a quilt to cheer her up and warm her in the evenings.
I joined a craftsy class from Angela Waters about FMQ and I have tried some of her patterns, It didn't came out perfect, but I am happy with the result. It is the biggest quilt I ever made (it is my fifths) and to manage that I joined the craftsy class "quilting big projects on a small machine" with Ann Petersen, that was very helpful. But now I am happy to get my living room back :icon_heh:
Some people think I have gone crazy because I can't stop making quilts since I started 6 month ago, they may be right, but what can I do, my inner quilter has taken over control!
Thanks for looking and greetings from the Oktoberfest :icon_wave:

Uli, that turned out gorgeous, and what a wonderful, loving gesture for a friend in need! Don't feel like the Lone Stranger when it comes to quilting, LOL, we are ALL that way, it's a good thing! :D

Re: Scrappy fourpatch star
Your quilt is so beautiful! Your friend will probably cry when you give it to her but she will absolutely treasure it.

Your quilt is gorgeous. I think the quilting is wonderful. I can not believe you have only been quilting for six months!!

Re: Scrappy fourpatch star
This is one of the most beautiful quilts EVER,,, in my eyes...
the scrappy look, the wonderful adventure in FMQ , the special reason for making it and the fact that you have found the true meaning of quilting , (IMHO).... I too just can't seem to stop making quilts and have no intention of trying... those that don't understand usually do not have hobbies...LOL,,, I believe it's a "passion" for me and keeps me sane and grounded...:))

Thank you all very much, your posts are so affectionate and supportive. It seems to come out, that I seem to be a more traditional quilter, I love the scrappy look and blue and white quilts. I read a lot about the different styles and l saw a lot of modern quilts in our (only) real quiltshop in Munich.... they are beautiful but I am not keen to make one.
I visited a quilting class, flying geese in a circle, I am not finished yet....paper piecing is a very interesting method...I am trying to develop my skills ;-)

Re: Scrappy fourpatch star
Ul,
Your quilt is indeed AWESOME...you did a great job. Quilting is like anything else ! I am a paper crafter and have so many stamp sets, it's unreal.
I have enough fabric to start my own "FABRIC STORE " ( or sell some of it back to either MSQC or Jo-Ann's or Fabric.com !!! LOL ! )
But I love my hobbies.....I also make a lot of my own ( and my kids / grandkids / niece & nephews & their kids ) clothes....there's never a dull moment !

Re: Scrappy fourpatch star
Wow! This is gorgeous. Your friend will definitely cry. <3
