WOW=WIPs On Wednesdays
Oma's Blues is coming together, I'll have my entire top done this week. Talk about a WOW! I'm really keen to get this quilt finished as I knew that if I didn't get it done now... I wouldn't find any time later this year or in 2016. It's so satisfying to be going back and forth to my ironing board as I stitch down my borders...
I'm really looking forward to showing you my entire top and of course, to having another quilt DONE! Well, almost done. I'm still deciding whether I will quilt this quilt or keep it as a quilt top only (easier to transport and show at workshops). I had thought very seriously about making tops only, but I think that with Oma, it needs to go up on my walls and give my other quilts a rest.
What's Your WOW?
Oma's Blues is fabulous. Well done. Blue and white is timeless.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, do you baste by tacking ? What happened to your B820? Did Bernina replace it?
DeleteI have a new B780. And wish I had tried it out more as complicated but strong.
Still getting used to it? Thanks
That truly is a WOW!

Oh, that's beautiful! I didn't realize it was a free BOM. How generous of you. I guess I haven't been to your blog in awhile.
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with your Oma's Blues, Esther! Your appliqué is perfection and your touches of yellow and gold sprinkled among the glorious blue fabrics makes me swoon! Thank you for sharing your limitless wellspring of inspiration!

I am so impressed with your Oma's Blues quilt top. I have been too sick to work on anything but if/when I get better it will be my first new project.
ReplyDeleteWow indeed!

I love how you have fussy cut the fabrics they look amazing. Worth quilting and having it on the wall. Truly a masterpiece. A big WOW from me!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much everyone for your kind comments and encouragements, I am working on getting Oma done ASAP!
ReplyDeleteOh, you can't make tops only! Esther, if you leave a pile of quilt tops behind when you head off to quilt with the angels, what will happen to all of your hard work? What if someone gets hold of them and does something AWFUL to them, like use them to practice allover pantographs on their new longarm machine that they don't know how to use? Please finish your masterpieces so that future generations can enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteYou're so right Rebecca Grace, in fact I have seen 'quilts' used as dog bedding by those who didn't know better, so any fate could befall them!
DeleteCan you show how you did the diamond/circle band? I'm confused on this part.
