I took the plunge and started quilting blocks last night. I have only 1/2 of the last tri to finish sewing and 3 kites...so I felt like going ahead and starting the hand quilting would be a good idea.
Anyway...I did buy the book so I could see quilting lines and I'm kind of going by that...with some changes of course...but basically thats the plan. I have found that I'm having to do lots of stabbing due to the bulk of seam allowances where I pp'd the blocks. I'm using a beige/brown varigated King Tut thread for the blocks. I have a darker brown one that I think I'll use for the sashing..but for now I'm using the lighter one.
So far...last night I got 2 1/2 blocks done..but in my defense..I didn't start working on them until about 8 PM...:wink:
