I made this one for my Sister-in-law and gave it to her in June this year.I started it last September and finished it in January. I had been waiting for Elaine to send me some photos down before posting it, as I missed a few blocks. The Material was "satin backed shantung" and because I only had 6 and 1/2 metres I had to substitute duchess satin for the last border as I didn't have enough . Designs are from Sue Box. Colours are Dusty Pink- Oyster pink- deeper dusty pink ( more into burgundy) Avocado Green for the leaves and for the frames and oriels I used a light brown/gold shade.
17161WOW Rossie, what a lot of work. Your Sister-in-law must have been estatic when you gave her this quilt. She should treasure it forever. So lovely to give these beautiful work pieces of yourself and your talants to others. Lovely work as usual. Hugs Sandra

24961Wow! Stunning, Roslyn. Bet it's even more stunning in real life. Pretty sure that'd take me to infinity to do :) And a great ad for the sewing revolution as well. We don't hear of it as much now as we did earlier.

Yes Carolyn. I" Quilted as I go" That means I did the centre piece with the 3 layers. Quilted -then added the sashings with the border blocks after quilting . Then I joined them together outside was machine stitched (with right sides together) hand stitched the wadding and lastly hand stitched the backing then stitched in the ditch lastly I did the binding.

Hi Tuppy I can't quite remember exactly but I think it was around 85 " square. I made the last sashing and border a bit bigger as it had to fit on a Queen size bed.
1512am doing that quilt now and i love it

thank you and yes it was a lot of time. But well worth it when you see the stunned look on Elaine's face when I put it on her bed. She thought I was putting her daughter's quilt I'd made for her wedding. Surprise

1179518727The Infinity Quilt. Ros, you had a lot of courage tackling that quilt. It looks absolutely gorgeous.Did you use the Sewing Revolution or did you measure the markings with your normal quilter's ruler?

I did use the Sewing Revolution AFTER I decoded the instructions. As I use a Brother and it was made for the Janome the distances were wrong for me. I also did them in the 4X4 not the 5x7 that the book was printed as. Once I had instruction on that it wasn't too bad. But at the beginning I was ready to jump off the nearest bridge _ BUT i'm scared of heights. heheh

I have a Janome and was thinking of doing-one day. The Sewing Revolution is awfully expensive. I was going to play with my own measurements and a quilter's ruler.

Use the measurements that are in the book. I think that you could use a quilters ruler , might be harder to do them in the circle though. Much ease with the Sewing Revolution. Good luck . Let's know how you go. Will help you if you get stuck

The Sewing Revolution is a ROUND plastic template with 1/2 " markings around it. It is 12 inches across and great for doing designs in circles and also 45 deg 60 deg and 90 deg. It was made by AnnDuncan & Kyn Gold-up-Graham or their Qwb aite www.thesewingrevolution.com.au for more info contact them and they will explain a lot better than I can. Good luck
