Lining Things Up


Whenever I baste a quilt I am so conscious of the fact that my blocks edges and my pieced back edges have to line up. It is a nearly impossible task though and it eluded me yet again.

 I think if I had the time and inclination I could have free motion quilted this Polaroid 9 Patch quilt and the lining up would not have mattered at all.

 However I am still a huge fan of straight line quilting so I persevered knowing that it would not be perfect.
Next is on the list is trimming and binding.

 Fabric Give Away

Can I say that I am so humbled by the amount of people who have linked up to Sunday Stash #64 this week? I have never had 18 links (previous high record was 14), and I am staggered to have so many new folks join in.

 If you would like to be in the draw for a 2x50cm cuts of fabric or a scrap bag, there is still over 3 days to link up.

 Linking up to WiP Wednesday which I really missed last week.

    such a fun quilt :-) I have been completely unsuccessful with pieced backs and lining up the quilting too - I try not to worry about it too much!

    Perfect is over-rated, finished is much better! We are our own worst critic, relax, your polaroid quilt looks great!
