the batik top is almost done, half of the blocks are hand pieced, the rest are pieced with a machine that I found in my sisters basement, not used for 30 years, got some oil and got it going. Big help to speed piecing.
Last night as I was ironing my blocks I have noticed that my hand pieced blocks are better then those stitched by the machine. Have any of you experienced anything like that?
I did enjoy hand piecing, though.
I will be staying here through August when we have a wedding to attend and the quilt is a gift for the young couple. I am not sure if I can finish this quilt here since I might not be able to find batting. Wondering if I can use flannel or something else. Most fabric stores are gone so it is hard to find sewing tools and materials.
Ok, that is all for now, but I wanted to share my experience with this quilt. Might finish the top tonight, then the borders.
I also do not have a matt or rotary cutter, big scissors will have to do.
