Last night I was working on several things, and actually made pretty good progress on two projects, and finished a third! Woot woot!
First, I finished quilting the top of the blue quilt. I'm going to wait to show it to you until it's finished, because the quilting of this one is going to tell a lot of the "story" of the quilt. But here is a teaser of some of the scraps. ;-)
I also started quilting my Grandfather's quilt - the red and gray one. It is VERY different machine quilting a "real" sized quilt than it is working on a small sandwich or something. It's going to take some figuring, especially with my current setup. I'll save that for another post. It's a good start though.
After my shoulders had had too much of sitting at the machine, I hand stitched the binding on the yellow sampler. Which didn't get finished over Thanksgiving (big surprise...) so that one is officially done!
Yay for productivity!
Your FMQlooks good. Yup, big quilts are harder, but they can still be done!
ReplyDeleteI live it so far! It's going to be amazing when it's finished.
ReplyDeleteYour quilting looks FABULOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteI love all your FMQing!
ReplyDeleteI love the FMQ too! I am too scared to try anything large in my machine- I can barely do straight line. LOL.
ReplyDeleteHopping over from WIP. I love the fresh modern look of your quilts.
ReplyDeleteYeah, working on big quilts *does* get to the shoulders, eh? Your work is FABULOUS, though!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the finish and progress! Always feels so good. I love that grey and red, good luck with the quilting. I have a larger quilt that will be ready to be quilted soon and I'm dreading it too! I love the quilting but the big size is such a pain!
ReplyDeleteWow!! wish you were here...I could use your teachings. I adore the work you shared
ReplyDeleteYour Granfathers quilt looks awesome, and the FMQ is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love the quilting in both projects! and the red and grey quilt, I love the simplicity of the block but so stunning.
