churunga	Posted - May 24 2020 : 10:02:09 PM I have started this new thread to replace the old one which was just too full. Here is something I'm working on. I'm using fabric from the fabric swaps. Marie Sister #5142 Farmgirl of the Month May 2014 Try everything once and the fun things twice.

nndairy	Posted - Nov 05 2025 : 5:05:39 PM Krista - love the C2C! Can't wait to see the last one. Linda - that looks like a great way to finish quilts. I can't wait to see your Christmas quilt! Judith - how frustrating! Hopefully soon I'll have some projects to show. ~Heather “I would rather be on my farm than be emperor of the world.” — George Washington
StitchinWitch	Posted - Nov 05 2025 : 4:38:01 PM Adding a p.s. to what Linda said. Double check the size with who ever is in charge of the group. I once joined a group who was doing what they called a 6 inch swap. I sent in my stack of carefully cut 6 inch squares only to get them back a couple of weeks later with a polite note that said they should have been cut 6 ½ inches.

quiltee	Posted - Nov 05 2025 : 2:55:51 PM Yesterday and today I put together 81 of our 10" Christmas fabric squares from previous 10" squares swaps. This will be a Christmas gift for my son and his wife. I gave them a scrappy log cabin quilt many years ago and they use it all the time - so much that I think it is wearing out. LOL!I still need to piece together a backing of Christmas fabrics and send it off to my longarm quilter. I will take a picture and post later today or tomorrow. One thing I did notice, however - many people do not check the size of the squares they cut. I had to replace or put borders around at least 10 of the squares because they were not a full 10" square. Public Service Announcement: If you participate in a fabric swap - whether for squares or strips of any particular size - PLEASE make sure that what you send are the correct size. THank you.

quiltee	Posted - Nov 05 2025 : 2:32:44 PM I saw 2 different videos. The one I use has a 3-1/2" square in each corner and covers up the finding ends very well. I think it is more sturdy.

Nancy Joplin	Posted - Nov 05 2025 : 11:48:57 AM I will have to check into facing binding. It looks really interesting! Nancy 8352 FGOTM Oct 2024
atkinst2	Posted - Nov 05 2025 : 06:46:39 AM So pretty Linda, never heard of facing binding.... will have to look into it. All things back on hold as I need to get busy on my Quilted Christmas Cards. Oh my, I am so far behind this year!!!!! There is never a road so long that there isn't a curve in it.
Jokamartell	Posted - Nov 04 2025 : 7:57:03 PM Great job, Linda!! :) Karen :) To quote one of my past preschoolers “Not one of those Karens, but a good Karen”! Haha
Audra Rose	Posted - Nov 04 2025 : 03:19:23 AM I've never heard of it, but I was curious and watched a video. What an interesting technique. Vanessa Farmgirl Sister #6754

quiltee	Posted - Nov 03 2025 : 8:03:30 PM I love the way the backing looks and for quilts with no borders on them it saves covering up part of the design. I love the way they turn out.

StitchinWitch	Posted - Nov 03 2025 : 7:52:11 PM They look great Linda. I learned that method a couple of years ago but keep forgetting to do it. Judith 7932 FGOTM 6/21 6/24 I'm old and I wear purple
quiltee	Posted - Nov 03 2025 : 7:26:30 PM Yesterday and today I finished binding 6 of my quilts with a new binding called a "Facing" binding. I really like the way it looks and they finish nicely.

Nancy Joplin	Posted - Nov 03 2025 : 5:26:47 PM Krista, what a pretty square! Keep on working. . .I can't wait to see it! Nancy 8352 FGOTM Oct 2024
MaryJanesNiece	Posted - Nov 03 2025 : 3:08:24 PM Finished another square! Only one more square and the top and bottom boarders! Krista Farmgirl Sister #528 Farmgirl Of The Year 2025
Nancy Joplin	Posted - Oct 28 2025 : 10:17:48 PM Nearing completion on the QOV that I have been working on for quite a while! So excited to get it finished! Also nearing completion on the quilted fabric I am making for my quilted jacket. I will send photos when I finish. I have also been finishing up a bunch of other UFOs, too! So happy to be getting things completed so that my family and I can enjoy them! Also, completing things allows me to look forward to completing other projects that I have wanted to work on. It is hard to start on new projects when there are so many that already need to be completed! Nancy 8352 FGOTM Oct 2024
atkinst2	Posted - Oct 28 2025 : 06:02:29 AM Thanks for the encouragement everyone. I have the cast on done and 2 rows... so far so good. On to the chart. Will keep ya'll posted There is never a road so long that there isn't a curve in it.
nndairy	Posted - Oct 27 2025 : 7:04:46 PM Vanessa - that looks like a good pattern for a Christmas quilt! Theresa - way to keep on trying! Hoping this time works for you. ~Heather “I would rather be on my farm than be emperor of the world.” — George Washington
MaryJanesNiece	Posted - Oct 27 2025 : 1:57:06 PM Vanessa, your quilt looks great and Tina is adorable! Good luck, Theresa. I hope the third time is a charm for you. Krista Farmgirl Sister #528 Farmgirl Of The Year 2025

katmom	Posted - Oct 26 2025 : 11:28:04 AM Vanessa, not sure which I luv more.. Tina or your quilt.. Tina… by a landslide! Hugs to Tina wrapped up in love. >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva!
Wanda Sue	Posted - Oct 26 2025 : 09:00:37 AM Good luck Theresa, hopefully the third time will be your “Good Luck” charm! A day hemmed in prayer is less likely to unravel. Farm Girl #3677 Farmgirl of the Month: Aug/2022
atkinst2	Posted - Oct 26 2025 : 08:38:07 AM Update on the cowl. It is a double knit. Cast on 400 stitches. So far I have only made it to row three before needing to pull it out. This will be my third cast on and I hear third time is a charm.... I am hoping that is correct. Wish me luck There is never a road so long that there isn't a curve in it.
