Oh, I the birdy!! My square is a bit boring, nevermind. Will be brave & post a pic tomorrow, is anyone putting their name on the square?? Like the pics of the community quilt Steve posted?

[Greytmate]

I have one other done, and am nearly finished a third one.

Love the birdie too.

[Bow Wow]

Thanks everyone :D I only sent if off yesterday, as I was too hesitant to send it, incase Jed has no idea what it is.

I stitched bb on the blue egg part.

Dear Dolers who know about quilting,

I found the fat squares in Spotlight today but don't actually know what to do with them. Do I need to buy wadding to sew them onto?

Do I need backing fabric?

Thank you from someone who is severely challenged in the quilting dept. (although I do sew quite well!)

On Monday I should get some fat quarters I ordered from USA - dog themes. So I'll be nail-biting close to the deadline for doing squares.

I also ordered a full set of rubber stamps of purebred dogs (about 40, and just so I could get the Basenji one). They are for our card-making, but if they arrive in time, and if I can afford a good set of fabric paint that will last for years, and a fabric-ink stamp pad, I'd like to experiment with hand-coloured squares.

Or see if it works out better to use them with the 'ordinary' colour blenders on card, then photograph them for fabric transfer. Dunno. Fun, whichever way.

I have done appliqué and embroidery on my squares. I didn't use a backing fabric on mine.

I found a friend who can sew Im gonna get her to make a broken hill scene for my square I think. When do they have to be in by?

I forgot to take a picture of my daggy one.

I just got the fat quarter (big piece) & stuck a little square in the middle, the little one had a picture of a horse & then used blanket stitch carefully around the out edge of the little square.

You could do wadding etc & be really fancy. Say, put wadding between the big square & the little square & the stitch outside of little square AND stitch around the horse.

I wasn't brave enough

I realised when I looked again that it's a flat fat so maybe not the right thing?

[Golden Rules]

Unfortunately I just don't have the skills to do anything special to my fat quarters so they will be just plain but pretty floral squares and they will allow everyone else's art/craftwork to shine ;)

[bertie]

Yes, they're flat. I had two pieces of fabric. Both flat. The 'fat square' & then I bought another, different piece of fabric that had pictures on it. I cut out a picture & stuck it in the middle of the 'fat square'. All of mine was flat. But if I had have put wadding in between the two flat pieces (making like a ravioli lol) I would have then sewn around some features on the little picture, (as well as around the outside of the little picture) which will give you a 3D-ish effect. ;)

Here is my crap example in paint. The purple represents the fat square. The white represents the little picture square, stuck on the top

[Dodo]

bertie I am sure yours is lovely .I think the true spirit intended for this quilt has shone through.A lot of people have stepped out of their comfort zone and made or cut a square as their symbol of love,respect and friendship for Jed. ;)

I am trying to finish the Dol one to send with Jeds .

[bertie]

Thanks Dodo!!

The pictured one above isn't what I did though, I used the Paint program to try to explain myself better for Drumbeat ;)

I want to quilt more now
