Amish nine-bar
#32
Have the center three bars done and with each completion, even with my clumsy quilting, it's taken my breath away. My dad is going to have one heck of a nice quilt if I can keep it up.
I'm marking the vines and starting the quilting on the lavender tomorrow. It's taking about 4 hours per bar, which considering my inexperience I think is pretty good. Trying to keep the stitches even, but every so often I still get a long run, and usually butted up against a seam. Kind of hard to start a run when you have a lot of material to make the first stitch in.
I’m finding my preference in needle size getting smaller the more I do; can’t load as many stitches, but I’ve better control.
