A New Week
And hopefully the weather will improve here.
I quilted the diamond strings quilt on Friday, I think it was. I quilted it with a baptist fan design, free-hand since I don't use pantos.
I like how it turned out. The second picture is of the backing. I pieced together random 'chunks' of fabric I had. I'm trying to get over my need for matchy-matchy backings and use up the stash.
I must say, I think it takes a long time to piece backings like this, it seemed like I'd add a section, measure it and dang, I still need 13" on the length. I'd find a 13" or so piece of fabric, but it wasn't long enough, so then I'm adding a section to that to get the length: trim, press and sew.....boring too. Oh plus more than once I got confused and sewed the length to the wrong edge----agggghhh. But I did feel very good about 'making do' and using up this yardage.
