Not a very good picture but once it had a binding and I hide all of the stings I will definitely show this one.
These is so much I want to say about this quilt. My friend Sue (was the mother of my best friend in school). She has passed away with cancer about 20 years ago. A few years after that my friend gave me some unfinished projects of her mother's and this is one of them. I started working on it and boy I wish I had waited,
Things I should have known but didn't (new quilter)
1. To square off each block when complete.
2. That a 1/4" inch foot was available and that 1/4" was the seam I should have taken...
3. When your squares meet, too keep it from being bulky press one seam one way and the other seam the other way. This also helps in getting your seams to match up nicely.
4. and this is very important.....you can not always ease the fabric in while machine quilting.......
I am sure there are more but that is all I can think of right now.
