SO the space between Halloween and Thanksgiving needs a fall quilt I think! I got these fat quarters at a yard sale awhile back-perfect colors!
I've had this pattern for awhile, too, so it's going to be perfect!
Oopsy, not perfect......
I fixed it
Here we are, much better, I won't choose this quilting design again-it is dense!!!
And I used a different thread-new to me called, Superior Threads Omni V. It was a variegated gold/brown color so it looks great with the leaves.
It was a windy day, but here are the clothesline pictures.
I like the fall leaves with the blue sky background.
Look at that pretty leaf design I chose to quilt.
The back is some 108 I got on sale on the shop hop this summer.
You really can't see the quilting design too well on it.
But you can see it on the front! It's called Dancing Leaves, and if I ever do it again, I'll make it much larger! This took something like 12 bobbins!
I've got a plan for a Winter quilt now!
Oh I almost forgot...I was at my long arm group meeting and the folks talked about using this measuring device, and one lady said Oh just make one , you can get the stuff at hob lob. Well I don't even need to go to Hob Lob. It's just a long bit of round elastic with toggles attached. I have this nice orange elastic, and lots of hood toggles, so I made one for myself!
See, I attached the elastic onto the roller bar at both ends, with 3 toggle markers on the elastic.
There! Now I move the toggles to the edges and the center, or seams, of the quilt and then I can keep an eye on the alignment as I quilt!.
Easy peasy! And it's adjustable for any quilt!
