so frustrated
#1
I'm making a "simple" irish chain baby quilt for a friend's baby (who is due today). I was planning on doing free motion quilting all over it in a meandering pattern in white. Spent a long time last night fighting with the machine over tension and breaking thread (and I'm using good thread, even). Finally got it working well. Quilted a bit over 25% of the quilt, mostly on the border, and realized that the white thread looks great on the white/bright pieced part, but really lousy on the dark blue border. Ahh! Will probably rip it out and do the quilting on the border in a more matching dark blue, but am not looking forward to that much time with the seam ripper.

I've done that before, got a small portion done and decided I really didn't like it, but kept going, once it was all finished, I did like it, so rip if you must, but I say keep plugging away, the baby won't care what color it is.

I quilted a log cabin with teal thread, I see more mistakes on the tan backing than on the front, but I really like it once it is finished. I consider it one of my learning to fm quilting pieces. I'm not ashamed to give it away.
