Even quilt spacing and feathers.

 
This is Deb's beautiful quilt.  I really love how it turned out!  I wanted to share with you a couple of little tips I do often.  The first one is trying to figure out even quilting spaces using acrylic rulers.

I used the piecing in this quilt for my reference marks as to where I was going to use my acrylic rulers.


As you can see I used the tips from one corner to the other on this log cabin block for my reference marks.  Since the whole quilt was all log cabin blocks, it made it easy for me to know where I wanted all my arch's to go. 

To create the echo on the arch I used two different size arch's. One just slightly more curved than the other.


Now for the border arch's I also used the piecing as my guide.  I counted all the log cabin strips, including the 1" sashing.  It came to 50 strips.  I divided that into a number that would work with the size of my arch and 5 was the magic number.  So I needed 5 arch's to go the length of the border from sashing to sashing at 10 strips per arch.  I used an invisible marking pen to give me my reference points.  You can see above the 10 piecing strips worked perfect for the arch.  I was lucky for this quilt because it's a square quilt, so the arch's went around the border perfectly on all sides.


Here is a good picture of the arch's on the border and on the white parts of the quilt.

The last little tip I wanted to share with you is about feathers and when you come to an awkward point when stitching your feathers.


You can see above I used the arch as my vine but when I came to that awkward point the arch was not going to work well for my vine....so I made a feather pebble in the corner space then continued on with my next feather petal on top of the last one....then continued on using the arch as my vine again.

Thanks for taking a peek and let me know if you have any questions or thoughts on these little tips.

  13. Sweet Potato - This is Deb, the lucky owner of this quilt. There really wasn't a pattern for this quilt. It's just traditional log cabin blocks laid out in a non-traditional way. You can use any size log cabin blocks - the strips in this one finish at 1" wide.

  14. I still haven't figured out how to do the math for the rulers allowing for the 1/4 inch foot. Is there an easy formula? I like to use them, but I am always really afraid to use them on a border because the spacing rarely turns out even.

  15. the curves add so much to this quilt. thanks for sharing your tip. I think I need one of those curvy rulers! xoxo

  23. This is the website I read about Doctor Benson and contacted him to help me get my ex boyfriend back to marry me during the month of December this year and I have come back here to post about him. Doctor Benson will help you solve your problem no matter what you are going through. Posting about a spell caster is very strange to me because I never believed i will be able to say that I was helped by a spell caster in bringing my ex boyfriend back to me after 3 years of no contact. I read about his voodoo spell from other websites and contacted him to help me and in less than 48 hours my ex boyfriend called me and I was happy that he wants to get back to me. We met on Friday and he proposed to me,... It was the most beautiful ring. Please everyone out here, Contact Doctor to solve your problem for you and make you happy with your relationship that is hurting you. Love is the best feeling ever experienced. Email him at drbensonspellcaster09@gmail.com or WhatsApp number:+2348141972381.

  26. When I found Dr. ben I was in desperate need of bringing my ex lover back. He left me for another woman. It happened so fast and I had no say in the situation at all. He just dumped me after 3 years with no explanation. I contact Dr.ben through his website and He told me what i need to do before he can help me and i did what he told me to, after i provided what he wanted, he cast a love spell to help us get back together. Shortly after he did his spell, my boyfriend started texting me again and felt horrible for what he just put me through. He said that I was the most important person in his life and he knows that now. We moved in together and he was more open to me than before and then he started spending more time with me than before. Ever since Dr. ben helped me, my partner is very stable, faithful and closer to me than before. I highly recommends Dr. ben to anyone in need of help.
