I think I am going to hand tie this using red/black/white yarns & just stich in the ditch around the blocks. It's going to be a very heavy quilt. Any suggestions? It would really be hard to machine quilt this.

But being a new quilter I have no ideals on the quilting part of this...

Oh embrodery floss for the hand tieing on the Soccer quilt! I didn't think of that I have tons of it too! I have a Juki that I'll do the quilting on but knowing how dense the denim is, even with my Juki I dont think I will be doing any FMQ or any fancy stitching. I am using a real thin layer of batting it needs the soft padding but talk about trying to keep it wrinkle free & lined up while I pin WOW! Got a 1/3 of the way through then I took it apart layed the back goodside facing the front goodside layered with the batting on top and I took it to the Juki & stitched all around the edges & left a 2 ft section unstitch to turn it! After I did it I thought I should have just turned it into a Duvet cover! LOL That would be taking the easy way out right? LOL I already skipped having to bind it! LOL I'm gong to stitch an inch in all around to give it a binded look. Working on my arm muscles with this one. Still have to pin but atleast its all layered even!

Good Morning Robert this is your dailey check in to see how you are doing! So how are Kathy & you? I used to do home health visits and when I arrived the first thing was a big hug, while I was giving the person a hug I would check skin temp to see if they were running a fever. So here's your hug are you running a fever? Do we need a temp check? I would also do a "sniff sniff" test are you bathing? Any swelling? Any bloating, any pains if so on a scale from 1-10 how would you rate the pain? Are you eating right? What did you eat yesterday? How much sleep are you getting? Any trouble moving around? Any dizzyness? Ok your good let's sit & chat for awhile! How's the wife & kids? It is raining here again I feel I live in Seattle not PA! How's your weather? Do you pass out candy on Halloween? Were'e the candy bowl? LOL There is a reason to my method of madness! Sure hope this finds you feeling better than yesterday! Smile! Hug's to Kathy & You!
