Blooming in my kitchen garden:
While I was quilting the last charity quilt I figured out another way to use my walking foot. It doesn't have holes on the side to attach a guide for straight lines. My answer was painter's tape.
I cut a strip of tape the length of the line I wanted to quilt. I sewed from one corner to the other.
When I got to the spot where I was going to pivot, I pulled back the tape and pivoted. Pulled off the entire strip and re-positioned it on the next side and did that line. Worked great.
The only fabric I destashed was the 0.20 yd I used for the binding and the 1.02 used for the back . New YTD total is 42.00 yds.
Here is the quilted top:
All the fabrics for the top and back were from my scrap bags. |
The back was a tad small, so I added the last of that flower print from the from. |
15 minute days/week = 7/7 days
15 minute days/May = 11/11 days
15 minute days/2019 = 122/131 days
Success rate = 93.13%
15 minute days/May = 11/11 days
15 minute days/2019 = 122/131 days
Success rate = 93.13%
And for my design wall - that second medallion quilt is still the same. No progress there, and I don't think there will be any this coming week as we will have out of state company and a quilt retreat to go to. I'm linking to Oh, Scrap, Sunday Stash, 15 Minutes to Stitch 2019, and Design Wall Monday Monday Making , and Let's Make Baby Quilts How did you do - quilty wise - last week? Blessings!
That is very clever of you! Good job and cute quilt! :)
ReplyDeleteI have heard you could used painters tape but have never tried it. I might give it a try now. I love your quilt. Well done. I have to split my time for the next month or two between cross stitch challenge and quilting but I did manager to work a little on both. I'm learning FMQ on a different machine. Hopefully one day I will be able to do that although straight line quilting does give a lot of options. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on all the stitching time this week. Hopefully you'll work in some good stitching time at your quilt retreat so the week won't be a total loss on that front.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo on using up stash. Your flowers are gorgeous.
