So, it’s all basted and now it’s quilting time! I’m just doing a simple diagonal grid allover, using a varigated red-yellow-green-blue thread. Hopefully it won’t be too bright and take away from the piecing. I like the subtle look of the clear monofilament best, but it’s very slippery and my maching tends to come unthreaded without my noticing it, which is really annoying when you’re quilting very long rows. I’ve done a few rows so far. The quilting is not hard, but it is time-consuming to get it positioned under the machine and deal with all the quilt bulk. I’m trying to do a little bit every day so it gets done reasonably soon. This is both because Andrew really wants to sleep under it and because I want to start new projects but am trying to be reasonably disciplined and get this done first.
I’ve found a side benefit of NaBloPoMo – I’ve been posting more frequently so I can actually remember how to upload a photo and put it in my post without referring to the instructions every time. 🙂
