This grandmother made a quilt for her teenage granddaughter, and I felt so ashamed, as the last quilts I made for any of my grandkids were when they were babies or toddlers. I’ve attempted to piece a quilt again, but the mundane straight-line quarter-inch stitching got to me, and I realised that the freedom to move the machine to create motifs was far more fun. I think I should simply stick to free-motion quilting.
Got up at
an ungodly hour the morning I was due to start this, and with hubby still
asleep, I watched an episode of a series I started watching the previous day, but had a pencil and scrap paper on hand and doodled quilting motifs while
watching. I got to create one that I
knew would work as an edge-to-edge and decided to give it a try on this quilt.
The colour on this photo is not the best and a better picture can be seen on my Gallery page.
