Snippets of Quilting

Hello Everyone,
 
Here are a few pictures of my quilting progress on Heritage.
 


The day began with the feathered border.



 
This grand plan didn't work for me.  I picked it out not once, but twice.  What took three minutes to quilt, takes an hour and three minutes to rip out.
 


It was time to step away from the machine, take Mazey to the dog park, and think about my problem.


I finally came up with something that was symmetrical.  The crosshatching isn't showing up very well due to the angle of the sun. 

 
Lots more quilting today.  I'll take a break this afternoon for baseball.  So far my grand kids teams aren't doing too well this year.  Maybe today will be the day to put one in the "win" column.

Soon,
Lynn

  6. May I ask what you use to draw your spines for your feathers? They are always so perfect.

  7. Just like picking colors and piecing, quilting is also a process. It'll come to you. Keep working it!

  8. I can feel your pain! I quilted a quilt when I first purchased my Handi Quilter - the bobbin was correct, and as a novice it was a disaster! Took 3 days and a willing hubby to rip that puppy!!!!
