The rotary cutter and mat make quilting so much easier, with the accurate cuts, but the binding clips helped make my binding look much better.

I thought the spokes were either appliqued or pieced. I love it and it was fun to follow your process for making it, especially the QAYG method. The shadows it creates really are a lot of fun...I wonder if you could hang it somewhere so the shadows would show?Leanne Parsonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07944797294783593234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327645006454111334.post-7964275659118995182018-09-08T17:57:27.765-05:002018-09-08T17:57:27.765-05:00That is one super creative way to make see through...That is one super creative way to make see through spokes!

Congrats on a truly unique finish :)<br /><br />My favorite notion came from the hardware store, not the quilt shop. It is a telescoping magnet that makes it super easy to pick up dropped pins, seam ripper, etc. without having to bend all the way over. My sewing chair is quite high, so it's hard for me to reach the floor while sitting, so this little gadget is a great help!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306854459459257368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327645006454111334.post-34923959329089422612018-09-06T08:05:15.116-05:002018-09-06T08:05:15.116-05:00You are so amazing!

It's so amazing that you were able to finish the quilt on time while baby waited! I love your weaving technique and this latest version of it. The bicycle wheels are perfect. So sorry you couldn't make nine of them, but the quilt is still wonderful! As for tools I use my wonder clips on a daily basis, always finding a new way to use them. For something new, you could try the Quilt in a Day Triangle Square Up Ruler. It helps you trim HSTs fast! If you want to know more about them you can check out the tutorial on my blog. In the meantime, have a grand time with your baby when it comes!

I have been looking at tire rims and hub caps for a few years wishing I had my camera handy to take photos (I'm still using a dumb phone). I use all of the tools you described and I'm getting better with the circle cutter. I keep a pair of tweezers, a Fons and Porter white chalk pencil and lots of 12 inch rulers in my sewing and cutting and ironing areas (not all in the same location). Can't wait to hear the baby has arrived!!!
