Quilts come in every shape and style, for every personality and taste, don’t they?
This quilt is panel-based and quite contemporary in feel, so I think it needs a quilting departure from freehand feathers and swirls.
So Connie (the maker) and I decided to quilt it with parallel evenly spaced lines.
I’m quilting the entire project while you watch, not so much in a lesson format, as a running commentary while I work.
Topics include:
- loading and basting and squaring up
- choosing line spacing
- the pros and cons of quilting straight lines, plus a few tips for keeping things smooth and square.
