The baskets are finally together.
This is not going to be my flattest or most square quilt that I have made.
No matter how I have tried, it's just not doing what it is supposed to do.
I am thinking that with all the homespuns thrown in with the regular cotton fabrics it has kind of thrown this whole quilt out of whack.
But.... I have applied the first 1 1/2" borders to help square it up before I get onto the next steps.
It's probably more square now, but there are still some pooches in there that I am really not happy about. I guess this will be my problem quilt when I get it to the long arm.
Also, got some time in today on the christening gown.
Here it is at 22 rows.
It's taking some concentration with all the yarn overs and what nots, so I am working on it a little at a time. I am hoping because it is a "small" project, that I will be able to get it done without too much delay.
Ok...that's it for me for right now.
Happy quilting.
Busy, Busy!! You sure do have some beautiful things to show for it, though.
ReplyDeleteYour basket quilt looks beautiful sewn together!
ReplyDeleteYou've made wonderful progress on it.
That christening gown is already looking very delicate and beautiful too!
I often have a problem with an on point setting like yours getting everything to equal out. I just quilt worrying about it as there is always someone who loves the finished product.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt baskets are looking good and what a nice job.....I love the natural colors and makes it a very striking look. Bet the quilting will bring it all together.
