Last corner -

Before making one last pass around the outer row of patches - ;))

I'm finding my "rhythm" and getting my stitches more even -

And I'm much better at FMQ from left to right than I am from right to left -
the sideways motion is awkward for me - and quilting from right to left tends to bunch everything up under the throat of my machine -

I can push the quilt away from me to sew toward me -
because that's the "normal" direction we all sew -

But I have trouble pulling it toward me to sew "backwards" -
because I can't see where I'm going - LOL -

So I still tend to move the quilt to sew in a more "comfortable" direction -

And I want/need to change that -

I want/need to be able to sew in ALL directions -

So on the last pass around the outer edge I'll try to keep the quilt oriented one way and to change my sewing directions instead -

That last round of patches includes the ones going vertically -
like the white and red patches on the left in the photo above -

So I'll try to sew "sideways" in those as I go around - ;))

This little table topper certainly won't win any awards -

But it's a great little practice piece -

And practice is just that -

Practice -

Right? - LOL - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
