Gone Quilting

Quilting the Half Square Triangle Quilt is proving to be character building.


I am quilting by outlining the colored/printed fabrics as they run their course across the quilt. This means a lot of turning and maneuvering the quilt from left to right and top to bottom all under the arm of my sewing machine.


I always look forward to the quilting process, but find myself wishing it was finished. I am almost there.

    Unsurprisingly it looks beautiful, but the turning and manoeuvring malarkey you describe sounds suspiciously like an allergy I might have!

    I cannot believe how quickly you pump these little beauties out! Just one question - do you sleep? ;)

    Great quilt! The irregular pattern is very effective, and I think you've chosen the right quilting for the design - even if it does get tedious tugging the quilt through the machine repeatedly!
