Especially worthy of admiration were the perfectly straight grid lines that were ever-so-slightly not aligned with seams, so that the quilting line gradually crossed over the seams and seam allowances. I suppose they used masking tape to mark the straight line but it still seems impossible to me.kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-77648963419317065142010-08-14T08:14:08.859-04:002010-08-14T08:14:08.859-04:00Quality and quantity is a great combination. Than...Quality and quantity is a great combination. Thank you for the show report. I'd like to add that quilting these works and doing it well is also a major accomplishment. They are dense with many many seams and they are 100 percent pimatex which anyone who uses it knows is hard to quilt. So congratulations to the quilters of this important work.Terry Jarrard-Dimondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06709683518897702916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-66158489872737871592010-08-14T00:36:44.747-04:002010-08-14T00:36:44.747-04:00I saw the show a week ago and was very taken with ...I saw the show a week ago and was very taken with the quilts using her surface designed fabric. Like you, I preferred the ones that had been cut and pieced back together. I was blown away by the body of work represented in the show. Really amazing.Gerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06292762162661584206noreply@blogger.com
