I'm guessing most of you send your bed quilts to a long arm quilter? But I can't afford that.
Maybe it wouldn't be as bad if I was just quilting straight lines, but I decided to SITD around some of the shapes.
I am about half way done. Maybe I will get another quarter done tonight if I can stand to sit down and start. If I could finish the quilting this weekend I would be so happy.
And I will probably never stray from lap-size and baby quilts again!
Oooooohhhhh, the Stitch in the Ditch, huh? Well, I'm learning the same hard lesson this weekend on a bed-sized quilt that is still incomplete. Don't get discouraged- I read an article about how SITD is really difficult, although it is a simple straight line. I have to draw out the lines with a white chalk pencil to get the stitching right and straight. I will try it and tell you how it works out. Keep going.
