Well the same quilt is still on the frame but I have made progress today! This is the first time I have used rulers and templates on an actual quilt (oh, except for the border on that one tumbler quilt). Anyway, I knew I needed practice with stitch in the ditch so I decided to do that on all my pieced blocks. It sure takes a long time! But I am getting better at it.

I used an 8″ circle to create the shapes in the green triangles. I also decided I wanted a feather in the border with stippling around it. Blech. Not going so well. Good news is that once the chalk is washed off, I don’t think it will show up at all anyway. This quilt is for me and I am learning a lot quilting it so I am going to try to learn from my mistakes and ignore the rest.

Until next time…
