I loaded my bright flannel quilt on the longarm after lunch yesterday and got it quilted.
I did freehand organic straight lines in both directions. That means I quilted it one direction, unpinned it from the frame, turned it 45 degrees and re-pinned it on and did the lines for the other direction. I got it trimmed last night so I'll look for a binding today.
I paired some batik strips and sewed the strip sets for a few more 9 patch blocks. They need to be pressed before I cut them the other direction and make the blocks.
That was a quick way to get this one quilted and it looks great!!')))
ReplyDeleteRainy morning here with gusting winds--43 degrees. Pin basting my "Late Autumn" little wall hanging...hugs, Julierose
that is about the only way I do machine quilting when I do it - but it might take longer because I don't have a long arm as some of you do.
ReplyDeleteAny time I'm able to complete quilting a project is a productive day in my book. Those are some very pretty fabrics you are pairing.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cozy looking finished quilt! The batiks are downright gorgeous rich colors.
ReplyDeleteYour ‘Bright’ flannel quilt pulls me right in. Those prints add such a cheerful happiness to it. And the bit of backing I can see on your long arm is such a perfect piece.
ReplyDeleteAnd more 9 patch combinations to see. You’ve got such a good rhythm going on those.
