Jacqueline de Jonge's colourful quilt

[Lynn K.]

Ta Da!!!! Finished. I love the colorway. And yes, I did 'fix' the geese. I found a fussy cut with a touch of purple for the 4 squares. Will be pleased to give to daughter! Making the back now with all the scrap cuttings......I like the challenge..........go figure. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm making some headway and have only outside borders to go. How do I want to do them? Cornerstones? Mitered? HMMMM!! Here's a picture as it sits now.

Donna, what drawing? I can't remember talk of a drawing? Thanks.

[Lynn K.]

I just noticed it today. Any anyone that is doing this project that posts a pic in show and tell by Sept 6 will be entered. On the home page.

Beautiful quilts. Such variety. I've made two but now I need to get busy quilting.

I looked up how to make sleeves (thank you Margo, Sharon and Libby) but how do I hang it?

What is your favorite way to hang a small wall hanging? I think it would look best if the rod wasn't distracting. "Happiness" makes enough of a statement

These are gifts and I would like to send the hardware with them. One quilt I gave away they used push pins to hang it up. A compliment that they liked it enough to hang it but push pins probably not so good for the quilt.

I would like it to be as invisible as possible and not damage their walls too much.

Thanks for any help.

I am wondering about the rotary cutter she uses, who makes it and where do they sell them? Jan

[Renata L.]

It looks like a Martelli Ergonomic rotary cutter. You can purchase it online at Martelli Enterprises or at a quilt show when there's a Martelli booth at the show. I have had mine for five years and love it!

For small quilts I have used wooden dowels just a bit shorter than the width of the quilt. Then used small screw eyes (1/4" eyes) screwed into the dowel at 2 places. I cut 2 small slits near the top of the hanging sleeve for the eyes to poke through and put fray check on the slits. Then I hang it with 2 small nails pounded into the wall. It's an invisible way to hang a quilt and an easy patch. The holes in the wall are nearly invisible too if you can used fairly small nails.

Renata, thanks. I want one! I will check their web. Jan

[Janet K.]

Thanks for info Renata. I plan to get one also.
Now that all guests and family have left, I plan to start the quilt.

Finished the top today. Whew. A couple of little tucks here and there but overall, I am very pleased. Now to quilt and bind. I'd do it again because I learned so much and need to reinforce all those lessons. But the list of projects is unending. Don't relish drawing out the pattern pieces on paper to tear away.

Does anyone have any ideas for printing on larger pieces of newsprint?
