I spent yesterday at the sewing machine quilting my Farmer's Wife quilt. I started at about 9 am and with a break for lunch at noon, a little bit of time on the baby quilt, and some time out for laundry, I finished the quilting by 4 pm. All in a day's work and many bobbins later it was done. I debated what to do with the quilting but decided to straight line quilt on the sashing and a quarter inch on either side of the seam lines on each block. Because the blocks are set on point, I was dealing with a lot of bulk when quilting because I was basically quilting on the diagonal the whole time. My wonderful Janome Horizon handled the bulk of the 90" by 90" quilt just fine. Last evening, I made and attached the binding so this evening, I will be hand finishing the binding. Yippee! I am almost there!!! I might even be able to get a picture in time for Fabric Tuesday at Quilt Story!!!! Who knows!!!!!????
Happy Monday!

ReplyDeleteAre you kidding me?! Wow, you made great time getting that thing quilted. Looking forward to seeing the finished pictures. Mine's still being sashed together but the end's in sight. (I remember we were about at the same stage a month ago).
