it's over half quilted as of now, hoping to have it done in another week or so. then i can start on the squares and switch back to the smaller square frame. the hoop works great for this size design but can be unwieldy. the transfer-eze is ideal for this but it makes the quilting a bit more difficult, not to mention little surprises that might be revealed once the web is washed off. while i don't like to use sprays or chemicals on my fabric, it seemed the best solution for this large and intricate design. *** a few more little basket blocks are done as well. i don't know how many more i'll need for a little quilt; that will need to be decided soon. **** also on this week's list? mark and baste the feathered star and finish sewing the batik pinwheel puzzle, among other things. maybe i'll get that basted too. but tonight? mad men and sleep after an 8-hour workday.
Beautiful quilting, Grace. Such small, even stitches!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen anyone else use this method of design marking. Fascinating!
oh janet, just wait til the webbing is off...let's not be hasty but appreciate the kind words!
