Renee. I understand you have your machine running fast and move your hands slow, it's finding the balance to ensure even stitches that is the hard part lol!! I was getting 'eyelashes' on the reverse, where the tension was pulling the top thread down, but I read somewhere here that said I was whipping around the bends too quickly, so I will make up another practice sandwich and try and remember to slow down on the bends, just like driving really... :roll: :lol:

Oh something else I read here.....big head, little neck, big head, little neck..chanting this to help you keep the meander going like a jigsaw puzzle...the things we do :shock: :lol:

I love the meandering, once you get your "speed" it just flows. I did my crumb quilt with it and and it looks great. (Check out UFO challenge- it was my challenge to myself to finish.)

Looks even better now that it's finished.
Did you do alternate blocks with the same pink around them or it is just the way the color looks on my 'puter ?

"Izzies Crumbs" "Izzies Crazy Crumbs" "Kitty Crumbs"

Just a thought, not sure how you would spell your name. This quilt is done beautifully and is just too cute, you should get lots of good comments at the show. :D

Wish I could help you, but I'm still stuck on the "it's in 2 parts." HUH ?? And the border overlapping boggles my mind, too. Those colors are so pretty.

Izzy, I am really new here. Where did you find this pattern. It is so pretty. Is it for a fairly new quilter? These block look like fun and scraps could be used. Thanks Margie

Yes, every other block has the same hot pink, I was hoping I had enough fabric for them all, but this was a re-cycled dress from a charity shop, so I was lucky to get 40+ blocks out of it :D

There is no pattern, I just made it up Margie, but have a look in the tutorial page - you can download the picture tutorial how to make the individual blocks I made :D
