Are you planning to combine patterns from different quilts? What sources are you using. Knowing you, I bet it will be perfect down to the last detail. No pressure there, eh?<br />That little machine, another beauty from your impressive collection. I love hearing the detail.lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13965043838288712362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495509534817984313.post-26294828825138781532011-12-12T12:43:28.781-06:002011-12-12T12:43:28.781-06:00I love that red and green quilt as a class project...I love that red and green quilt as a class project and that you met weekly. I especially like the detailed binding treatment that you see in the antique quilts but nobody (okay you do, but hardly anybody) attempts anymore. My pivotal applique experience was a year-long Baltimore Album class with Mimi Dietrich. It was the class that taught me to love applique because it gave me the confidence to actually do it. But, a full album quilt is a major undertaking and the albums I love are beyond beginner projects. I have the blocks from my class but they will never be in a quilt. I, too, am collecting and mulling over exactly what I want in MY album quilt.Tarynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03455236914872943577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495509534817984313.post-49293464655725586092011-12-12T11:37:44.110-06:002011-12-12T11:37:44.110-06:00That quilt is gorgeous!!!!

I think you are ready to move on to making your Baltimore quilt.
