#king quilt

[wyrmscraft]

Just have to add some borders on the sides and this king size, extra long quarter log cabin will be ready for the long arm.

I do love pink…

I’ll have to look for a 120” wide backing in something pink or black for this. I hope i can find pink so when I bind it in black, the binding on the back will pop.

Spent the day sitting on the floor (usually cross-legged) in order to hand-baste a king size quilt and discovered that I am definitely getting too old to sit on the floor all day.

#it would be great if we had a table that was the size of the king size quilt #except IDK anywhere it would fit #also it would be great if I could have done it over a period of days #but the only place where I can clear the floor for a space large enough for the quilt is next to the kitchen #which is a high traffic area #and I would never trust the cat alone with it #so I can't leave it there overnight #so my choice would be to fold it up and put it away after each session of basting #which might have been even more of a pain in the ass because then I would have to re-square everything up every single time #and more likely to have fabric puckers etc #so yeah I did it but yikes #let's hope i don't get bursitis #quilts #quilting #gpoy

Okay so, a little bit of context, my boyfriend has one pillow on his queen size bed. Just one. I have 6 on my full size bed. And I really want to know what the average number of pillows people have on their beds when it is made, not how many they sleep with.

Bonus points if you say what size bed you have

#poll #i asked some of my buddies this and now im just generally curious about it #like i get that i have a lot but my parents have always had a TON of pillows on their king size bed like more than 8 i think #and my pillows are set up where 4 have cases that match my sheets and 2 have shams that match my comforter\quilt #i think it's so strange that he only has 1 pillow too but in my head im like 'is this just a thing dudes do???' as if that means anything

National Quilting Day

A quilt is a type of bed cover, traditionally composed of three layers of fiber, a woven cloth top, a layer of batting or wadding, and a woven back, combined using the technique of quilting. A quilt is distinguishable from other types of blankets because it is pieced together with several pieces of cloth.

National Quilting Day recognizes quiltmakers and their quilt-making abilities. The word ‘quilt’ comes from the Latin word ‘culcita,’ which means stuffed sack, it became adapted to the English language from the French word ‘cuilte.’

Quilting practices can be found in almost every area of the world and it is celebrated on the third Saturday in March every year. The National Quilting Association started National Quilting Day in 1991 and since then it has grown into a global celebration for all quilt lovers and makers.

History of National Quilting Day

Quilting refers to the technique of joining at least two fabric layers by stitches or ties. The quilting practice dates back as far as 3400 B.C. It was mainly a practical technique that provided physical protection and insulation. However, decorative elements were often also present and many quilts are now primarily art pieces.

In the United States, quiltmaking was common in the late 17th century and early years of the 18th century. In these times, only the wealthy had the time to practice quilting so it was done by only a few persons. Commercial blankets or woven coverlets were a more economical bed covering for most people unlike the colonial quilt bed covering which displayed the fine needlework of the maker, such as the Baltimore album quilts. Presently, quilting is now a popular hobby, with an estimated base of twenty-one million quilters.

The oldest example of a quilted piece is kept at the Saint Petersburg department of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Archaeology section. It is a linen carpet that was found in a Mongolian cave, between 100 B.C. and 200 A.D.

The origin of the quilting day can be traced to the Quilters Day Out, which was organized by the Kentucky Heritage Quilt Society in 1989 to celebrate the ancient tradition and its practice in the state of Kentucky. Two years later, this event became so popular that the National Quilting Association decided to declare an official holiday for quilting. From this day, the name changed from Quilters Day Out to National Quilting Day. Over the years, this event has attracted people to celebrate from all over the world and participate in helping to build and maintain the global heritage of quilting.

The first remnants of quilting were dated to 3400 B.C., showing that this art form had existed far into pre-history. They were traded extensively until sometime in the 12th century when these types of trade goods were returned from the Middle East by the Crusaders. Since then, it had become an integral part of the Colonial textile arts and one of the things they were well known for.

So this is a double size MSQC pattern with added friendship star sashing that I made as a wedding quilt for my cousin.

I don’t recall how big it ended up, but my two 6’2 brothers are holding that sucker up, and there’s a whole row of blocks and border flipped around the back lol (and my puppy’s bum, but she’s cute, no worries)

I had it laid out on the floor for two days while I put the finished blocks together and that killed my back, bending down to get all the pieces and put them back in order. But I love how it turned out 💖

I'm getting back to two quilts I let drop 10 years ago when rough things happened. A matching pair of log cabin quilts, one greens and grays, one blues and grays. Both king size.

I'm putting the third and final border on the green one tonight. The blue one was missing 4 blocks. I've made those, and cut the borders, and need to put it all together.

Batting has been ordered online, as the local quilt shop didn't have big enough. Backing will be pieced from my roll of quilter's muslin seconds.

I'm starting to dwell on what it's going to be like putting together two kingsize quilt sandwiches. Biggest table is the covered pool table. Laying them out on the floor is not an option, I can't kneel anymore. Hooo boy.

Hey y’all! There’s a person I want to eventually make a quilt for, but all I know is the size quilt he wants, the theme of quilt he wants, and that he wants it to be a “heavy quilt, not like those light quilts they are making nowadays. You know, an old-school quilt” what does that mean???? I tried to get him to explain, was eventually like “do you mean a comforter?” and he said he didn’t but I’m not sure he doesn’t?? He knows nothing about making quilts and I have no idea what metric he’s using What makes a quilt heavy????? 

#the person behind the yarn #quilting question #would flannel instead of batting make it heavier? #or like...two layers of flannel? #this is a contractor that works with the company I work for #and he's super nice! and he wants to support my hobbies! #and keeps saying he wants to 'help his little buddy out' and order a quilt #but like...I don't think he knows how expensive quilts are????? #all I could think to make a quilt heavy is to make it a puff quilt #and there's NO WAY I'm making a king sized puff quilt #and he wants it Raiders themed??????
