Katie Jump Kites
So things have been progressing slowly with quilting KJK. Even straight line quilting takes time and a bit of wrestling with the heaviness of the quilt sandwich. I have done on the verticals once and am now doing the other side of the ditch.
I also decided to do the horizontals just where the back has the pieced strip. I could come to regret this though. The trouble with a quilt back is sandwiching together with accuracy to get the verticals and horizontals to match. I have come close on this one but as you can see, it is out on the horizontals. I may just unpick it all if I am too bothered. I don't know how Rita from Red Pepper Quilts manages to line all her fronts and backs up so perfectly!

Linking up late to WIP Wednesday because Blogger tells me that I have reached my 1GB of free storage wants to charge me to upload more photos. Anyone else had this message appear? I have had to use Flickr to store my photo and then grab the HTML code to post these 3 pics above. I am not sure if this is legit. and I am hoping for a way around it somehow. Let me know if you come across a solution. Thanks, Fiona
It's looking great Fiona! I would say your front and back are amazingly well lined up! Much better than I could do! You know I'm having the same problem with blogger so let me know if you find a solution :)
ReplyDeleteLooks great Fiona. I had the same problem yesterday. I was making another tab with all my finished quilts so I just went to each relevant blog post and saved the photo location and uploaded them from URL and it worked.
ReplyDeleteOoh it's looking lovely so far Fiona!
ReplyDeleteI hope you find a solution to the photo/space thing!!
It is looking great!
ReplyDeleteAll my pictures on my blog are always from flickr. I pay for pro there so I don't have to worry about running out of room.
Beautiful work. I love the Katie quilt. I have a similary one I am working on.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Have a great Thanksgiving,
Sherry
Looks just fine to me. Pretty. No idea about the space. What size are your pics btw?
