I had no idea there was a nice, neat way to deal with them. Of course, I 'quilted' with my piece VERY tight in my embroidery hoop - stab stitching my way to the end. Boy am I glad I found some classes to get me over that struggle. Quilting wasn't much fun on the first couple of project *s*Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17872055894285312153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14458986.post-37764176423081660082007-10-04T16:59:00.000-05:002007-10-04T16:59:00.000-05:00Well, I love that orange quilt!.

The second one was made toward the end of her quilting time. She didn't bother with pulling the knots through and her stitches weren't as even. I may like the second one even more then the first! It makes me feel like she was one spunky lady.Marilyn Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13249212194704638191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14458986.post-82469727872165794952007-10-02T21:42:00.000-05:002007-10-02T21:42:00.000-05:00Wow that is a pretty unusual quilt!

My daughter loves orange, she went to Auburn University and now that color flows in her veins! We love to tease her about that... I began a quilt for her to take to college over the summer before she began her freshman year. She thought it was much too orange and balked at taking it along with her when she first left home. It wasn't but a few weeks later when she phoned home, begging me to send it, in all it's orange glory!

It's only within the last 5 years that I've started doing it myself. Maybe the quilter was just a rebel. Fun quilt though, I love the embroidery.
