The baselines -

On the Victoria and Albert Interweave are quilted - ;))

After I fuse/basted it -

I pinned the middle vertical row and every 4th row to each side -

I call these the "baselines" -

And quilt them first to stabilize the whole quilt -
Removing the pins and pinmoors as I go along -

Then I go back and quilt the lines "between" them -

Starting in the middle and working my way to the right edge -

Turn the quilt around - and work my way to the right again -

The "right" side is quilted from the top to the bottom -

And the "left" side is quilted from the bottom to the top -

But the difference in direction isn't noticeable in the overall quilting - ;))

Now that this one is off the kitchen island -

I want/need another "stand-up" project to alternate with this "sit-down" one -

So I think I'll go back to cutting the second panel of the Imperial Bargello -

I have already sewn the "right" panel -

But I still need to cut and sew the "left" panel -

And I want/need to "cut and kit" another piecing project -

Or find a UFO to play with -

Until it's time to sew the Imperial Bargello together -

I'd like to see if I can maintain two "sit-down" projects -
One piecing and one quilting -

And one "stand-up" project -
Cutting - pressing- fuse/basting - pinning - trimming -

So that I can alternate between them -

To keep my back happy -

So it will let me enjoy myself while I PLAY - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
