THis is real fun to visit them all on saturday. Thank you for visiting my blog. I am quilting the 'klosjes' but there is no rule for quilting them, I think, so you can do it your own way. When you have to duplicate your fabrics let me know what colors you like, then I send you some of my scrappys.Petihttp://www.lepetitbonheur.web-log.nlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1566941118175210463.post-84378053996217146662010-03-16T22:05:25.920-04:002010-03-16T22:05:25.920-04:00I have made a few spools too.

I too believe it will be a while before you have to duplicate....though a little shopping would help with that problem LOL.<br /><br />If I was quilting one, I would just do a 1/4" in on all the shapes so pressing wouldn't really be an issue other than to reduce bulk in the junctions. I always sew blocks together as I go because I hate doing long seams.<br /><br />CrispyCrispyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03784813169069471560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1566941118175210463.post-16677794376275715932010-03-14T06:02:47.493-04:002010-03-14T06:02:47.493-04:00Karen your klosjes are fantastic, they look so gor...Karen your klosjes are fantastic, they look so gorgeous.<br />Have a nice sewing sunday ! !<br />HennieHenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16228781486775188112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1566941118175210463.post-34260299099661595602010-03-13T19:23:45.504-05:002010-03-13T19:23:45.504-05:00Karen they look great. what size are you making th...Karen they look great. what size are you making them?Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16992246515171206371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1566941118175210463.post-28908598314284074672010-03-13T18:26:17.212-05:002010-03-13T18:26:17.212-05:00Your Klosjes are looking fantastic!

Kind of like eating potato chips, right? Two questions - how big are they and are you hand piecing them? I would venture to say you are as it looks like that would be much easier than on the machine.

I might add a spooler list to my side bar also, please add yourself as a follower on my blog also. Like Nadine, I plan to quilt the inside of the lighter fabrics when my quilt is completed, not sure how many blocks I will do and at the moment plan to use up all the fabrics in my SPOOLS basket. My daughter Hannah loves the fabrics I am using, so it might just have to be for her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1566941118175210463.post-89414798354753524402010-03-13T14:54:15.364-05:002010-03-13T14:54:15.364-05:00"Spooler Karen".

I will send you my scraps to help you out! :)<br />I love the fact that you made a spoolers list on your side bar: excellent! Maybe we should all do that? That would be fun! And you see what I meant with 'the unstoppable itch to stitch'? They are just soooo much fun! Ok, pressing: I do them towards the dark, with the 'spool-flap up' I hope you know what i mean, Jelly-bean! :) for the simple reason that I want to hand-quilt in the ditch around my spools > to make them pop.<br />I will need to find out more about how to join them, I'll ask our Dutch sisters and let you know.
