Deep blue sea is done



Yep.
Quilting lines are all sewn IN!
Happy dance time!!


Can you see the wonky lines here?
I rarely mark a quilt for quilting with anything other than painters tape. This time.......
I DID mark with a blue chalk roller by clover on the wide white border.  I marked only a little to keep me "sort of" on track. ;)
Guess what?  The blue didn't disappear in the laundry! I googled a bit and found out vinegar works. Haven't tried it yet. Isn't it crazy that marking lines don't come out like they should?  I once heard a quilt teacher say the safest marking tool is a #2 pencil. I should have heeded her advice!


Well I am happy with this quilt.
Love the colors my daughter and new son-in-law chose. They also chose the design.
I had to choose the quilting design!
I think it took me as long to decide that as it did to piece the whole thing!  ;)


 I'm Also happy my hours on this phone book are over! ;). There's got to be a better way of getting high enough on the chair to quilt comfortably. My arms aren't complaining this time.,.....but.....my rear end is. Hah!
