I LOVE it. And yes painters tape works because it barely sticks to the fabric. Unless of course you sew over it. Glad your dad liked it. It looks great! I LOVE it.

I love it! FYI, blue Painters tape has always worked fine for me. The trick that works the best for me is posted here: http://tallgrassprairiestudio.blogspot.com/2009/11/straight-line-quiltinghints-and-tips.html. You've got to move your stich over a bit so your not quilting directly on the tape otherwise you might pierce the tape which makes a HUGE mess! Good luck if you try it again! <3 Sarah It is just beautiful!! I love it! FYI, blue Painters tape has always worked fine for me.

What a nightmare! I've definitely heard of using the painter's tape, but I can't believe that it was such a difference with the regular tape. Makes me nervous to even consider the painter's tape! And I can't believe it didn't wash out. Well, in spite of all that, it is a really beautiful quilt. I notice you didn't use the paint dots--did that seem too feminine? I'm thinking of using my lush to make a quilt for my husband, and I really love how this one looks. Oh nooo! What a nightmare!
