I would like to do #364999 -"quilt_2" unless I missed it in checking the list of chosen ones. I would probably make the leaves a little bit softer green.

I want to do this one. If no one else is doing it. Id #602929 (birdhouse) or this one id #116402 (the parrot). I really prefer the Birdhouse for one and the parrot for the other block.

Please please let me know if someone is doing these. TIA

sewmom by sewmom 15 Jul 2009

I almost did my rose in coral and peach. I really love those colors. But my daughter said pink so I matched the roses in my yard. Pick any color you think Loretta would like. Just a note, the rose I picked out was done in dark red colors on this site. When I stitched it out in light colors the end of the dark green stem showed through so I had to do another stitch out with darker colors. Test sew!

Oh how about quiltingqueen? We need some guidence to make this right. Hehehe!

pennifold by pennifold 05 Jun 2009

Hi Sewmom and Marji, I only use tear away stabiliser when making my quilts with embroidered designs on them. I then have cotton or wool batting and then for the backing fabric I use cotton again. I hope this helps a little bit.

What do you think?

marjialexa by marjialexa 02 Jun 2009

Sorry, Shirlene, better if everyone uses the same type fabric, one fuzzy square wouldn't be good. And flannel washes way different to muslin. Doesn't have to be done right this minute. You have time to dig around in your stash. Beautiful choice, by the way, darned if I remember having this, and I have a membership, have to look it up!! Hugs, Marji

In Australia we call it Quilters muslin . Looks like calico but softer

In USA, the 100% cotton you would buy at a quilt shop. WalMart has 'quilting' fabric, but it is much lighter weight than quilt shop fabric, and a harder hand. Personally, I will use muslin, I really like the look of muslin for a quilt & is a neutral background, thicker material. Hee hee hee, your choice, bust your stash if you want. Hugs, Marji

Muslin as I know it is very thin and loosely woven and was used inside terry nappies for babies. Calico comes in various weights and colourways depending if unbleached or bleached. Sorry no Walmart over here

marjialexa by marjialexa 02 Jun 2009

Uh oh, where are you from? England or Oz? I think we're having a language barrier about material. Our muslin is pretty thick, if you get the good stuff, but it has a rather stiff hand. I would never use what we call muslin against a baby's bum. Yikes, we have to find a translator, hee hee hee. Hugs, Marji

I too have been getting confused when Muslin is talked about in quilts, here in New Zealand muslin is a very soft, fine, loose weave cotton. Your muslin sounds more like our calico or cotton drill.

Hi Jasanne,

I personally like calico or cotton drill too. Muslin is so thin you could spit through it!

Love and blessings Chris

Wow, who thought 'muslin' could be so confusing, and we're all supposed to be native English speakers, hee hee hee. How about "plain beige, ecru material you'd use for a quilt top", whatever you want to call it, hee hee hee. "Calico" here is a small print on cotton, describes the print more than the material it's printed on. I think, unless I'm wrong about that, too. Hugs, Marji

jasanne by jasanne 02 Jun 2009

Thanks Marji... your description of calico just made a whole lot of things make sense for me! (books I've read, etc.) sounds like your calico is what we would call printed poplin. Often wondered why girls would want to make dresses out of 'calico' as I know it which is a stiffish plain ecru coloured fabric.. certainly not pretty or comfortable! Isn't the internet great - we get to learn more about other countries and each other

Once again English is the common language that divides us. I am used to the British terminology and was as surprised as some of the others at the mention of muslin for a quilt.

marjialexa by marjialexa 03 Jun 2009

Now knowing what Brits mean by 'muslin' I can imagine you thought we were suggesting making mosquito netting, not a quilt, hee hee hee. Isn't language funny? No wonder there are wars. Where's a Star Trek Universal Translator when you need one? hee hee hee. Hugs, M

Raels, since two have already posted flowers & birds, I think that would be a good theme, there are so many nice flower designs, & even the Jacobean birds, although for this I like the quilty birds & flowers a bit better. Good idea. Hugs, Marji
