Sometimes -

 

 

A shortcut - 

 

Turns out to be the LONG way around - LOL - ;))

 

After warming up on a practice piece - 

 

I jumped right in - 

 

Chose a block - 

 

Did some Free-Motion quilting -

 

And it didn't look too bad - 

 

Until I looked a little closer - 

 

And saw that the tension was wonky - 

So out it came -

 

And the step that I skipped - 

 

Testing the tension on the side of the ACTUAL quilt -

Took up the time I thought I was saving - LOL -

 

Back to another square - 

 

And another red one - 

 

Which helps to hide all my initial wobbles - 

With the red thread - 

All I'll be able to see of my wonky flower and echo quilting  - 

After it's washed - 

Will be the texture -

 

Now I just have to neaten up my stitches - 

 

On the colors where they will show - LOL - ;))

 

 

 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
