I started the month of December with the intention of getting several quilts quilted. The month is half over and I hadn't done one yet. Yesterday I decided to get started. This quilt has been basted for almost a month and now is a little over half quilted.
I'm ditch quilting every row crosswise on the quilt and that will be all I will do. The lines are 2" apart. I hope to finish it today and get the binding sewn on right away.
Your quilt is lovely! I didn't get much quilting done this month either because I got hung up on making stockings - pardon the pun. When you do stitch in the ditch, do you use a special foot for that or a regular walking foot? I was wondering because my sister-in-law just purchased a stitch in the ditch foot, but has not tried it yet.
wooh! look at that wake-up backing! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI had the same lofty goals. I am almost finished with one, but still have another one to quilt before Christmas!
ReplyDeleteGot to love Kaffe. I am all for the brighter the better as long as it is hot pink or blue.
ReplyDeleteI had hoped to accomplish more quilting as well, but at least I've been able to do a little along the way despite the season's activities.
ReplyDeleteLove the Kaffe backing and the straight line quilting!
ReplyDeleteIt could be much worse-you could be writing this post on the 30th:) Knowing you, you will have more than this one done this month. It is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhen you ditch quilt do you alternate directions? I have trouble with straight line quilting.
Ohhhhhh, those colors . . . GORGEOUS!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, what a beauty, and that is perfect backing!
