Long Time Gone Sew Along

[Linda P.]

I have been enjoying your Saturday Sampler videos. Thanks for doing those. You have mentioned that you will be doing Long Time Gone in February. I Just finished that top a couple weeks ago. It was one of the most enjoyable patterns I've done. The directions are good and everything can out so perfect. The fabrics I choose are a little darker, so I thought I'd share a picture of the finished top. I hope everyone enjoys this as much as I did,

Here are the two I made, as class samples for two six-month long classes.

[Janet S.]

Barbara, these are wonderful.

[Helen W.]

Barbara, Love those quilts. Especially the bottom one. What a difference the color of the sashing and border make. Those are beautiful!!! HelenW

[Linda P.]

Barbara. Those are both beautiful and look so different. What fun!!!

[Terri S.]

Barbara, Thank you for sharing and inspiring! Which is your favorite?

Barbara, Thank you for sharing and inspiring! Which is your favorite?

The first one which I made second. I increased the borders and added lots more piecing to them. I really like those borders.

[Sue G.]

I love those borders, Barbara, and I think I’ll be copying your idea to make LTG larger. I almost copied your other one with the turquoise sashing but I’ve just completed Sue Spargo’s pattern, Homegrown, on heavy turquoise linen. Thought maybe I should change my color choices up a bit. LOL!

[Dee C.]

Well done! It is beautiful and the darker fabrics are really nice and it's good to know any palette one chooses is going to be great.

I made this quilt a few years ago. I added squares all around to make it bigger. Made from stash.

[Dee C.]

Loving the richness of the colors. Well done!

[Terri S.]

Dee, I am enjoying your Saturday Sampler sessions and am looking forward to this quilt along. I have had the pattern for awhile, and will use combo of stash and the contemporary bundle. I also like seeing how others use fabric and color. Do you have an anticipated timeline to complete? Just curious. Thanks!

[Karen W.]

It's beautiful.

[Laura L.]

My book is in transit. I'm looking forward to this project and will use late 19th century reproduction fabrics. I'm curious how long the sew-along will last.

[Anita W.]

Am looking forward to Long Time Gone. Getting into my stash for bright fun colors and patterns.

[Anita W.]

Nice job!!!
Excited about the pattern. Glad you enjoyed it.

[Dee C.]

I'm anticipating 2-3 months. There are 13 different blocks of which I will double up on some and then the finishing.

Please could you add a week to cover quilting ideas,.
I have a mental block when it comes to the finishing the project.

Yes, it would be good to end this project with a discussion about quilting ideas.
