When I last wrote, I was so excited: I had just hit stride quilting the stars on this quilt. Thread tension seemed to be behaving;
I had a plan of attack. I was seriously looking forward to a weekend of
quilting. Well, a weekend of quilting happened... only much later than I intended. A
tick bite laid me out for nearly two whole weeks. I'm still not fully
recovered - but enough to start quilting.
I wrapped all 56 stars early this week. Yay! I have a few spots I need to restitch (skipped stitches over heavy seams and empty bobbins at inconvenient times), but the rest of it went smoothly.
I usually bury them while watching TV in the evenings, so I don't really pay attention to how much time this takes. However, I've been timing everything on this quilt. So far I've spent as much time pinning and burying threads than I have actually quilting! I'm shocked.
