PICK A PETAL -- Show Your Finished Top Here

[Elizabeth A.]

I moved the ‘squares’ to the top and bottom to lengthen the top then adjusted the number of the fans on the sides and top. I tried to upload a picture. Pleased with the results

[Barbara B.]

Photos aren’t working right now. I hope they are fixed soon, I am eager to see your quilt!

[Beverly C.]

Beautiful, Elizabeth.

[lynette R.]

love it! very encouraging. thankyou. Barbara, you are a great teacher,, thankyou!!

[Monique G.]

I cant see any uploaded pictures on the forum. I just get the words "gallery, gallery, gallery". and "Your request content cannot be loaded. Please try again." I was always able to see them up to about a month ago but I haven't had any luck after that. I thought it may be your servicer but I believe it is something else. Can you instruct me as to what I should do.

[AmyE]

Finished the top today. I also changed up the log cabin strips. I wasn't enjoying the embroidery, so I added more flowers instead. I like it much better.

[Marilyn M.]

I love your quilt, especially your applique flowers.

[Katherine H.]

Love your flowers! Beautiful!

[Ann J.]

Beautiful! And I love the secondary "circles" that appear!

[Helen W.]

Here is my finished Pick A Petal. Still plan to do more hand embroidery. HelenW

[Ursula C.]

like your individuel stitching motifs.

[Beverly C.]

Really pretty, Helen.

[Ursula C.]

Finished my quil. ttop today. like the combination of patches, applique and stitching. Only the quilting will be difficult for me...

[Beverly C.]

Beautiful, Ursula. Isn't it wonderful we can make changes to give quilts our own touch?!

[laurelomac]

It is finished! I did my own floral arrangement and added the ladybugs with 3D fabric paint. This was a challenging but satisfying BOM -looking forward to 2025.

[Beverly C.]

Beautiful! Happy little ladybugs!

[JANET E.]

[Karen F.]

[Carolyn H.]

I loved making this quilt but sized it for a wall hanging - enough bedquilts.It is mainly hand pieced, appliquéd, and quilted.
Thank you Jen Kingwell and The Quilt Show. --- Nova Scotia, Canada

[Helen W.]

Carolyn H. I love your wall hanging Pick a Petal. The applique
is stunning. How did you do the edge for the border. Very
creative and very unique.Could you show a picture of the back too? HelenW

[Shirley R.]

Beautiful!!

[Carolyn H.]

Helen W - Thank you very much for your lovely comments.

I basted the arcs to twill tape then turned the edges on the front and then on the back.

I have been trying to send a picture of the back but it is not working. It could be my computer or me.
I can text or email a picture. Carolyn

[Helen W.]

Thanks for the response. I have never heard of your basting twill technique. Does it have a name
or do you know of any videos online that shows it. I love the idea. HelenW.

[Sally W.]

My Pick A Petal top is done! Not quilted yet… still deciding whether to do it myself or have a friend long arm it. Frankly, after working on this for a year, I’m ready for it to be out of my studio! Right now it’s on its final destination - our guest room bed. To do that I had to add another border for the right size. I enjoyed most of the process - the applique and embroidery. Endless pieced blocks not so much!
Thanks to the Quilt Show and especially Barbara Black for all the great advice.

[Helen W.]

Love it in your guest room. You picked a beautiful color palette Sally. HelenW

[Barbara B.]

Great job, Sally! I know what you mean about being glad a long project is done. It looks great in the guest room.

[Marilyn M.]

I really love the colour theme in your quilt. It's so organised and well planned. Mine is still underway after many hold-ups throughout the year. It is very scrappy and I really don't like the overall effect as much as a planned combination of colours as in your quilt. Congratulations!

[Carolyn H.]

Helen W, I can explain how I did the edge if you send me your email at [email protected]

[lynneschultz]

Barbara,
I always appreciate suggestions on quilting--it's the last thing and so often overlooked. Thank you.
The Line Tamer ruler looked awesome. Can I use it with my domestic machine? I have a Bernini 770qe+.
Thanks.
Lynne

[Barbara B.]

Yes. The ruler foot is required for free motion quilting and is available for your 770. I also have a 765, same basic machine. The foot fits in the channel of the Line Tamer ruler, holding it straight as you quilt. I use it for stitch in the ditch and all straight line quilting. Search on my blog for Ruler Work, I have more than a few posts about this.
