The way I made that scallop quilt was to buy a KIT!! With the little scallop circles all cut out, then I cut them in half and glued them on the strips of white with a dot of glue, then sewed the strips together(pain, the scallop-y things were all floppy), then on went the borders and I quilted down the scallops when I quilted it. I bought it at a quilt party - like a tupperware party, but quilty - fun idea - super expensive stuff! So, I am giving this quilt away, so I don't get mad every time I remember how much it cost!Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11123520405709193418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-56060702627137418492012-08-24T06:42:59.193+09:302012-08-24T06:42:59.193+09:30Just found you through BJ's blog, love your in...Just found you through BJ's blog, love your intro and am now following.

I love the cat quilt. It is bright and cheerful!<br /><br />Your string quilt is also very awesome! I love it! And those bibs are adorable.

I love, your selvage quilt, and the bread bags on the back make it doubly fun! I've always wanted to do one, but I squeeze every bit out of my fabric, and by the time I were to try to stitch one selvage to another there would be nothing left. I hope your cat feels better soon. I can't imagine a poor kitty putting up with all of that. I'm sure they must have him on a sedative.Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09662565253955618120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-63340509593608900002012-08-19T20:21:03.757+09:302012-08-19T20:21:03.757+09:30As entertaining as ever, I have missed your blog! ...As entertaining as ever, I have missed your blog!
