I am sure there are many web sites devoted to quilting.<BR/>I have one I made for my first baby's bassinet, hand sewn octagons, that I still use as a little comforter to cuddle in winter.<BR/><BR/>Word verification today for me is <BR/><BR/>jutabla <BR/><BR/>it sounds like a word that belongs here..Delwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813713107604750354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-56688699630554244362009-04-02T01:24:00.000+02:002009-04-02T01:24:00.000+02:00You would probably either quilt about a quarter of...You would probably either quilt about a quarter of an inch inside the seams. Or you could stitch x's in the middle, one x per square. I've done both. I probably like them better done the first way. I've made many quilts, most in my thirties. Now in my early fifties, I have too much arthritis from surgeries post car accident. I cherish mine. I will be the first to hand them down to my grown daughters, as I didn't have family. Good luck. And let me know if you need some online help. I've taught others to quilt before. It is a soothing art form. You might also attend quilting bees. I did some of that also.<BR/>BrendaBrenda Pruitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14544794729410559072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-63164507367233475442009-04-02T01:09:00.000+02:002009-04-02T01:09:00.000+02:00It's lovely, and I say like Char, what a treasure....It's lovely, and I say like Char, what a treasure. I have something similar from my grandmother, in good condition too, but I have to admit, hrm, that I'm not exactly sure at the moment where I put them... Somewhere safe I'm sure though!Pia Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16519694952785489099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-67154614534600263102009-04-01T23:35:00.000+02:002009-04-01T23:35:00.000+02:00such a treasure - and beautiful. to fill in with ...such a treasure - and beautiful. to fill in with your love and stories is perfection.<BR/><BR/>I remember my grandmother sitting for hours at a frame suspended from the bedroom ceiling hand quilting these intricate patterns. I have no idea where those quilts are now and though I didn't get along with her, I would love to have just one.Charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03851293154388793520noreply@blogger.com
