The center portion of -
My Harmonic Convergence -
Is ditch quilted -
I got carried away and stitched in the ditch -
Of "every stinkin' seam" - LOL -
Which may or may not interfere with my Free-Motion quilting -
But I don't think it will be a problem - ;))
I haven't decided what I want to do in the borders -
So I didn't stitch any "base lines" there just yet -
Maybe I'll Free-Motion quilt those first -
Since the center is already stabilized - ;))
Katie mentioned that my quilt seems large -
I told her that the book suggests using squares about 14" -
I make mine much larger - 22" -
So mine are quite a bit bigger than most -
It also makes them a more usable size for me - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
Ha ha, I would likely have only ditched one side of those skinny strips. But it shouldn't interfere with your FMQ.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing your progress.
Bigger is better...as they say somewhere (maybe Texas) LOL
ReplyDeleteA friend who is a longarmer for others often ditches most everything before digging into the FMQ portion and she seems to be going gangbusters (looking at adding a second machine!), so if she can do it, I know you can, even if the machines are different. I'm excited to see else you put in this one...
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jeanna, bigger is better. I’m wishing I had made my last quilt bigger! I love this quilt Kitty, in spite of some orange. 😂
ReplyDeleteLove the bigger size. Ditch quilting will stabilize for the FMQ, it will be fine.
