The little quilt is definitely less stiff than attempt number one, but it may be because the quilting isn't as dense.
I realized that my sewing machine REALLY needed to be serviced before I start the actual quilting journey, so I didn't do straight lines on the sashing like I was planning to.
I am really enjoying coming up with quilting designs for each block.
This looks just great! Are you planning to be just as detailed on your main quilt? Thank you for your tutorials, by the way :-)
ReplyDeleteI like it.
ReplyDeleteNot only are they adorable, but they look like lots of fun, too.
ReplyDeleteMay I ask what kind of machine and quilting set up you have?
ReplyDeleteI have a Husqvarna Viking, Mega Quilter, on a pfaff frame, but I can't sew straight lines!!! I can sew wonderful curves, and I can do a little bit of vertical and horizontal lines, but diagonal look awful.
It is great following you with the Dear Jane quilt, I have bought the book but being a beginner have not been able to work out the correct way yet and feel with the blogs being so tiny it will be hard, will try and make the first one and see what happens! So far I have done some crazy quilting and make some 122 blocks from a TV programme.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for that tutorial on straight lines ... I'll practice it.
ReplyDeleteI love that seashell look on the lavender block! I may copy your idea if that's ok....if I ever get to the quilting of my dear Jane.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried bamboo batting? I have used it for a couple of quilts and it is really soft and lovely. I am thinking of possibly using it for my DJ.
