Great job, love hand quilting and the scalloped border , I don't to as much quilting as I use to.
27356Very pretty for baby girl. I love the hand quilting and the scallops. Please tell me what you mark your stencil with? I used a blue mark-be-gone on my black white border to mark diamonds to hand quilt. I then hoped it would spray out, which it did, after several 'sprayings'.
I commented before on this but I was on my phone...sometimes I forget to hit the submit button,,,,,

LOL, I forget all sorts of things without even being on the phone! I used a Fons and Porter water soluble pencil that I picked up years ago. Like you, I've found folks' definition of "water soluble" varies immensely! Funny how on my test swatch it came out without any effort at all! I first tried a fabric eraser that was in the package of these WATER SOLUBLE pencils - which should have given me a clue just how much would be needed to get the marks out. It sorta worked but I needed dapping the lines with Dawn dish detergent and a good long soak to get the marks out.. In the past, I've used those blue air or water erase markers and find the lines disappear only to come back a few weeks later. Hope this helps.
109043Very pretty and you did a wonderful job on the scalloped border, that really makes it extra special. this is sure to become a family heirloom!

Thank you. I used Elanor Burns' (of Quilt in a Day fame) Vines and Scallops ruler, watched her video and it was really very easy. I hope you give scallops a try and let us see how you do!
97695431You did a fantastic job. I love the scalloped edge. It seems to set off the rest of the quilt along with the pink binding.

Thanks so much. It took a lot of courage to cut the scallops along the edge AFTER MONTHS of quilting. LOL! Figured with my luck - that would be time I really messed it up!.

Thanks, Laura! The Mom wanted a "traditional quilt". You can't get more traditional than a variable star, I guess.

360402Those scallops turned out perfect. The whole quilt is perfect. Well done.
109762Well done Deb, I love the hand quilted quilts, but I don't like doing them!! Hence mine are always machine done. This is so pretty, I've only done 1 quilt with scalloped edges and you are right once done they are easy to do. Love Chris

Thanks, Chris! I grew up with hand quilted quilts That my great grandmother had made on my bed. So to me, quilts were ALWAYS hand quilted - but then I've been quilting for 40 years - long before I ever dreamed of having an embroidery machine that could do the quilting for me.
234253Wow that looks fantastic. So neat and perfect. Well done.

Thanks, Kim. I like them too, now that I know they are easier than I thought they'd be!
