How to Block a Quilt — Ask Kimmy
Here are the photos of the quilts with the beautiful borders designs that I didn’t want to lose:
My monochromatic quilt
The Double Churn Dash
Both borders are the same and had be trimmed away from the borders very carefully so I didn’t cut off the quilting design too close to the border edge. I love the border design. It’s a cross between a turtle shell and a paisley.
And here’s the quilt from the Utah Quilt Guild Museum at This Is The Place Heritage Park. It was a full-size Rose of Sharon quilt that had a wool blanket inside, used for batting. It’s now crib size. Luckily it shrunk all at the same rate. This is what happened:
and here’s a close-up detail — it looks ruched:

The fabric for this quilt was all bought at local quilt shops, so it was quality fabric.
Here’s the color “catchers”:
Retain is a color fixative.
Synthrapol is to remove remove excess dye.
PROsapol is an alternative to Synthrapol which is eco-friendly and alcohol free.
The tablets you want to use to neutralize the chlorine in your water are called Aquarium tablets.
Here are the B-words associated with quilting:

No wonder we get so confused! But I love every B-word in the book having to do with quilting.

Thank you, Christa! Diane surely was a trendsetter. I really miss seeing her quilts in the magazines and the show info online where we saw what current ribbon she was awarded. I never got to take a class from her, which I bitterly regret. My friend, Diane Loomis, is a gifted machine quilter with Diane Gaudynski’s style and took many classes from her. Diane L. had won too ribbons too, and teaches from time to time.
I’m still looking forward to taking a class from YOU.
Just found your podcast which I am really enjoying…regarding your niece’s quilt that the colors bled; it made my heart hurt for her! You gave lots of very informative content…things I have never even heard of before…thank you for that. Good information to have…I haven’t had a quilt bleed yet but I am bookmarking this podcast for future use. I hesitate to mention this because you really have done your homework on the issue, but I did hear Pam from Hip to be a square podcast talk about having a quilt with red bleed even with her color catchers and she was finally able to get it out using blue dawn dishwashing liquid….Thank you again for all the info in our podcast…I’m looking forward to listening to all your past podcasts as well. I am able to listen to podcasts all day while I’m at work 🙂
Thanks so much for your comments, Robin! I’m so glad that you found the podcast and that the content was helpful to you. I really live in fear of bleeding fabrics myself.
Happy quilting!
Annie
