I’m not done quilting the Grandmother’s Flower Garden quilt, but I’m already thinking of the next project. And I’ve decided, this will be it.

I considered someone’s idea of using the ties as basting and cutting them out as I quilt. But in some places, the batting is very thick and in other places, it is nonexistent. So I snipped the ties on the back.

And then pulled them off the front.

I visited with Daughter #1 while doing this and the time flew by! Next, I will rip the stitches along the edge. I suspect this will get messy.

I think it looks better already! I’m so going to enjoy studying all these fabrics while I quilt this winter.

Have a great day!
