Last of the Quilting on This One

What fun this little quilt has been.  The quilting is finally finished.  And there is a lot of texture in it.  One fun thing that I did was create a grid to quilt another checkerboard pattern.  To do that I use a  Triangular Engineer and Architect Scale Ruler to mark the lines.  I learned that from Lori Kennedy in an online class. 

I simply start with the ruler against a seam and mark the other side of the ruler.

The width is one inch which works well for this.  Once it is in position, 

I press down on the top to anchor the ruler -it won't move while marking.

That is why this is a great tool for doing this. 

Once the grid is marked you are ready to stitch. 

I like to sew along all the lines of the grid -I do that as I am traveling from square to square. You may notice that the left side is special (different ha ha.)  I realized that I had messed up the pattern, so rather than rip stitches (a pain when you are doing this) I  repeated it and made it work. Now it is a design choice!

This quilt has lots of TEXTURE quilted into it.

I love the raised places in the focus fabric. The Hobbs Silk batting really makes them pop. 

Did I have fun quilting this?  Of course I did, because the rules were partly ignored as

long as the quilting looked good.  I have fun playing with design. 

I hope you play with your quilting and find joy in it also

Until Next Time,
