This weekend I went back home with only 1 baby quilt to quilt on. I thought I might try some new styles and this is what I ended up with...
Point to point was the first style, both line, doing stitch in the ditch, and pattern. Gotta admit, I'm very happy with both. I then tried out borders and did the corners and along the top and each side very easily. Not so crash hot when i tried the bottom half... I think I must have changed the angle of the corner pieces as the bottom and sides would just not line up. Not to worry, I little bit of reverse sewing and I'll try again. Lucky it's just a small quilt.
On Saturday morning I had to go into town as I needed a couple of things, thread, fabric, iphone, printer, and when I got into my LQS BM said that she had her quilt with her, was that all right? Was that all right? of course it was, BM works at my LQS and is my best advertiser. So once I got home I took the triangle quilt off the racks and loaded BM's. 107" x 83". Another BIG quilt. And BM's only request was maybe something with roses. I could do that! We talked about thread and decided on a variegated red, green, yellow on the top and a beige to match the back. We talked about using the same colour top and bottom to stop threads 'poking' through but, top and bottom, although they work together are very different. I said I'll do one run and check for 'pokies' and if there was an issue I'd give her a call. My wonderful sister in law Cheryl came over for a visit and we got the quilt loaded and up and running. Quilted up like a dream and today on my way back to Tamworth I got to drop it off to BM. Needless to say she was rapt. She absolutely loved it! I'm so happy.
