Novembers BOM - Final Assembly and Big Reveal

[Acorn]

I wonder whether Christmas Red is called something else for the rest of the year...  :thinking:

[Iminei]

Theres more reds then there used to be .... and Cherry Red (to me anyway) looks identical to Christmas Red

[Flobear]

The one that purports to be Cherry Red is too orangey - it certainly didn't look like that on my screen when I ordered it but I realise that screens all differ even if I do have a Mac with a Retina screen (whatever that is!)

Anyway, I now have an orangey-red blender in my stash 

[Acorn]

Dunnit!  This is the best I can do picture-wise because I won't have another pair of arms in the daylight until the weekend.

And back (just a section, so you can see some detail)... I basically shadow quilted the main shapes and FMQ-ed the background.

WOWZER!!!!!

Im more than chuffed with how these are working out !!!

Its almost as if there were a plan .... 

Has it a white binding ... or is that yet to be done ???

And finally would you like a label ???

I've decided to offer Elvistoo's services to all completed entrants.

[Acorn]

I really enjoyed quilting the blocks without a great heavy quilt getting in the way.  I wasn't so keen on joining them together, but I am very pleased with the result, so the jury's out on whether I will QAYG again...   :thinking:  ...it's been a great project, and I have learned a lot - many, many thanks!

[Flobear]

Looks wonderful, @Acorn  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Acorn]

@Iminei I would love a label!  I meant to sew one in but realised after I'd finished that I hadn't.

[Iminei]

Is it bound already?

I bound mine before I added the label ...
All I had to do was unpick a stretch of stitching, insert the label and resew ... simples!

There are two types of label available ... Levis label which is inserted into the binding and has words on both sides or an applique label which is flat that you applique onto the back ... your choice.

Pm me and we'll continue the conversation @Acorn @Sandra @supergran

[Acorn]

Levi for me please - yes it is bound, but as you say, no problem to unpick a bit.   :thumbsup:

[Flobear]

I decided to pinch the hanger idea and hang up my BOM quilt while it's waiting to be bound.



And I took a pic. of the two reds. The one on the right is supposedly Cherry Red and on the left is Christmas Red. Don't know how well they'll show up on other screens but you may be able to see that Cherry is definitely more orangey.

[Ploshkin]

I have actually found a kindle screen to be pretty good for colour matching but it does depend on the photography of course.  That fabric on the right looks very orangey on my  screen.

[Acorn]

Lovely!  It's so strange seeing a quilt with the same blocks and very similar colours as mine!!

And the cherry red is definitely more orange - which seems very weird.  Shouldn't it be more pink?   

[Flobear]

I agree about seeing the same blocks in similar colours, I thought that every time we posted in the gallery @Acorn . 
And the only cherries I've seen looking that orangey were unripe!

[Iminei]

Ive only just noticed!!! Yes that Cherry red is not the cherry red I used!
Maybe the girl who picked it got it wrong...
Anyhoo youre sorted now @Flobear

Remember Ladies, A good pic of your quilt once its finished for the 2020 BOM Gallery please

And of course you need to let me have your address and preference of badge/patch once its done!!!!

@supergran  ... Have you received your badge yet hon?
