However in reality, we all take several months to make one. So I think your idea of making us aware of this slower time frame is a lovely idea. And I love that red/white quilt of yours! I just finished putting red diamonds in my Scrappy Stars quilt--I've really come to love red.<br /><br />Great post--thanks so much.<br />Elizabeth E.<br />opquilt.comOPQuilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08622702911207665333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683357838302003571.post-73077066356117924872012-04-27T17:42:28.753-07:002012-04-27T17:42:28.753-07:00Great idea!

I also would like to make "simple" quilts and not feel like I should be making the pieces smaller or doing a fancier design. I have gone back to college, I work all weekend long, and I still have one child at home. I certainly could make the world's fanciest quilt, but it would take me the rest of my life! I have family and friends begging me for quilts right now and the only way I can get them done is to make them simpler. I also have so little free time to spend on quilting that I really want to enjoy doing it. No more quilt police! (Chant with me!)<br />Thanks for the thoughtful post!<br />Triciathe arkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913283083812288705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683357838302003571.post-409202209175365382012-04-18T22:57:47.933-07:002012-04-18T22:57:47.933-07:00Even though others have already posted their slow ...Even though others have already posted their slow movement manifesto's I would still like to hear yours.

I know exactly what you mean - I've really had to rein myself in recently as I've found myself rushing to move on to the next project without enjoying where I am with the current one.

I...I so agree with you about the quilting process. I feel so proud when I complete a hand stitched quilt. I do make some quilts by machine and I do a lot of piecing on the machine. But I love to hand quilt. I think it just seems to make it so much more personal and special. When I get to the end of the process, I bind it by hand because I want every single stitch to be hand stitched.

I was looking at antique quilts online, and thinking about the INSANE number of hours those quilters must have put into them - cutting out the pieces without rotary cutters, hand-piecing (often tiny pieces and MANY blocks), hand-quilting, etc. In that respect, what many of us do now bears NO resemblance to the earlier days of our craft. I don't know if I have the patience for slow quilting, but I have SO much respect for people like you who do! : ) And I love that you're bringing back some of the old ways of doing things.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18310325294852658619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683357838302003571.post-53645270870469222622012-04-05T06:25:45.567-07:002012-04-05T06:25:45.567-07:00I love your quilt!

Plus, I don't have a lot of time for handwork, so, when I decide to hand applique a project, I know it is a long term one and I need to be OK with that - better yet, I embrace the slower moments in my life dedicated to that quilt.<br /><br />BTW, I think two months is pretty fast to make and hand quilt a quilt :)Esch House Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07095448847070091632noreply@blogger.com
