wanna see one of my quilts...

WOW! That's nice!

So, let me ask, did you sew the various pieces and the duck onto a piece of material and dhten do the design with the thread over it? Or was the fabric already made with the colored squares and what not and then you sewed the design over it.

Did you do it by hand? I can't imagine someone doing that by hand.

i started like this...

i cut and sewed all the triangles first. the triangles are then sewn together to make blocks. the blocks are then sewn together to make two rows and two columns. when you're totally done with the triangle work... you will have 2 rows of triangles and two columns of triangles.

separately... you applique the duck onto a piece of white material. you sew the yellow and blue border around the white (duck) material. you then sew the triangle rows and columns to the blue border surrounding the white material. if you can picture a row of triangles above the duck, a column of triangles on the rights side of the duck, a row of triangles below the duck, and then a column of triangles on the left side of the duck... and there you have it. you have just adhered your duck to your triangle work

from there, you just start working on the larger outside borders and then ultimately the binding.

the actual "quilting" was done by a long arm machine. i paid to have that done... i'm not yet doing my own quilt stitching.

i hope that helps
