Machine Quilting Christmas Ribbons

Hello Everyone,

I loaded Christmas Ribbons on my long arm and let the machine quilting begin.  I'm going to be taking my time on this one as I slowly work my way down the quilt.

I felt as though I was in a machine quilting rut.  I wanted to learn more and try something new.  After watching several videos on YouTube, I decided to try curved cross-hatching in the setting triangles.  I purchased the entire set of rulers from Linda, at  The Quilted Pineapple.  I've had so much fun learning and quilting a technique new to me.  I'm extremely happy with the look the ruler achieved.  AND I'm extremely happy with the rulers!

I  accentuated the flange in the border by stitching a line 1/4" on each side, then added the feather.

This one is going to be slow going.  I'm not going to spend 8 hours a day machine quilting because I also want to work on Lovey Dovey.  I started stitching last night.

I'm fussy cutting the little 12 days of Christmas images which are going to be combined with other little 1-1/2" squares.  After I cut them, I pin them to a piece of cardboard from a fabric bolt.  This way I can keep everyone corralled and know what I have.

I'm also making 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" finished triple Churn Dash blocks.

All of the parts and pieces will eventually come together.....I hope.

When I get up in the morning, I'm anxious to begin my day with so many fun things to work on!  I have many things I HAVE to do, and many things I WANT to do.  Tomorrow, I'll post what I HAVE to do today.  Just a tease, it is exciting and a bit scary all at the same time.

Soon,
Lynn
