First pass -

 
 
Yesterday I quilted the first pass -
 
On my Crumb - Blue Floral
 
 
I used the "channel lock"-
To quilt unevenly spaced straight lines -
From one side to the other - 

 
My workspace is limited - 
And the blocks are set "on-point" -
 
The "on-point" setting was messing me up- 
 
The blocks don't line up nicely unless I stitch it diagonally -
Which is hard to do - 
 
One diagonal "blue" block fits in my workspace -
But I can only get the "top half" of a green block -
 
So any "block" design would have to be "split" on a green block - 
And the "bottom half" would have to be quilted on the next pass - 
 
It would be easier if it was set "straight" - 
 

So I opted for uneven straight lines - 
 
 
It gives me some nice texture - 
 
And it gives me practice using my "channel lock" - 
 
As you can see - 
 
I'm trying really hard to stay AWAY from the points - 
 
I don't want to stitch through all of those seams - ;))
 
 
 
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
