I finished the last lines of
quilting on the borders
last night ....
So this is ready for a binding
choice...
I really am loving all that heavy
quilting throughout...
**********************
Next up for hand quilting is
a much larger piece:
↓↓↓↓
This has been waiting in line for quite a while;
frankly, I cannot recall what I named it...
I know it is a pattern from Beth's
"My Sewing Room" on YouTube that
she named "Scrappy Strings".
I wanted to make it as I have had
troubles working with triangles through
the years. Her tutorial is really
great...and I found it surprisingly easy.
I think maybe I will think
about a name while I am quilting...
Now that I have hand quilted
a couple of smaller pieces,
I think I am ready to tackle this
one.
Obviously a much longer project.
You can see that originally I had planned
to machine quilt this one--I sewed two
long lines abutting the central long
sashing which is a scrappy
coin strip that used up the rest
of the cut offs from the central
strip-pieced blocks...
Here is the reverse side--
a very old panel to make a
tablecloth that came down to
me from my Grand-mere...
I thought it would be a nice way to use this
piece so full of memories....
