After getting my snowball quilt basted....finally.....
...I began some hand quilting this week.
Yeah!!!
Getting all those ugly basting stitches in
takes time...
but it is SO worth it!
I am using Perle cotton....
And hoping to add another color or two as I go.
One snowball at a time!
I posted about basting and quilting this quilt on my you tube channel.
HERE.
What are YOU making this week??
Very fun and bright quilt. Enjoy your slow stitching time.
ReplyDeleteI like the colors in your quilt. But hand quilting in the summer? EH. It's been in the 90s here for two plus weeks. I'm not getting under a quilt. Although I have one that I really want to finish one of these days....
ReplyDeleteYour hand quilting looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOne of my fave quilts of yours. The hand quilting is gonna make this amazing!:)
ReplyDeleteI really like the perle cotton with the snowball blocks.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! How big are those snowball blocks?
ReplyDeleteblocks are 3 1/2" unfinished.
DeleteI love your snowball quilt, Beth! I'm curious about your basting method, though. When I hand quilted (only once!) I was taught to baste from the center out in straight lines, so it looked kind of like a big asterisk when the basting was done. It looks like you baste kind of like a zig zag. Can you explain how and why you do it that way?
ReplyDeleteThere are probably a few ways to baste a quilt. I was taught to sort of zig zag around beginning in the center. They aren't pretty stitches...but they do the job. :)
DeleteLove your quilt, and your new profile pic!
ReplyDeleteLove your new photo with the quilt backdrop!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! Good for you! I love your attitude!
