And after the one other quilt about the same size for another DGD, I'm going to play around with the quilt as you go. And if all else fails, I'm going back to my hand quilting. That's today anyway. Thanks everyone.
Ok, I'm not going to do it that way. I figured out why my back isn't like I would like it. Here is the quilt I'm working on. It's for a 3 yr. old. And I just loved the "Monster in the attic" yellow fabric.
Anyway, I just did five yellow squares, decided to do this pattern instead of just stitch in the ditch. So when I have 5 done, the 4 patch between them has to much material. Not a lot, but more than I want. Soooooo....I guess my solution is to change the color of my thread alot. I want the yellow in the big yellow squares, but the little squares will be stich in the ditch with a big X through them. I've been machine quilting, or at least I thought I was for a year now. And my larger quilts I sent out. One to a longarm quilter who did a fabulous job and two for two other DGD's that did a simple squiggel across and I ended up stitching in the ditch around all the white backround fabric. It works. But the girls next quilts will be much better.
