Tada!!!!! The Crazy Short Cut Quilt blocks are all quilted with the decorative stitches!! I can't even tell you how happy I am to be finished with the stitching LOL. What I finally ended up doing was pulling the end off the Aurifil thread spool (you can do this apparently) and turned the thread around so that the thread was coming off the back instead of the front. It seemed to unravel less ~ well that and I was sewing soooo sloooowwww. Anyways they are finished so now I just have to arrange them and sash them. The backings are all blue Christmas and winter batiks so I'll have to pay attention to the back placement as well ~ but I am not going to stess about that.
I have also been hand sewing the binding to the back of the sampler quilt that we recently took off the group hand-quilting frame. I love the look of a hand turned binding on a hand appliqued (a few of the blocks are applique) and hand quilted quilt. That process also takes a long time ~ especially in this heat! Wow! Anyone else getting this heat wave?
What I can tell you is that a sampler quilt would be easy peasy to make with the
Accuquilt GO! cutter! Since you could cut small amounts of different shapes.
Speaking of the Go!! There are a few more
