This Foot was Made for Walkin’

Haha, get it? Walking foot. The first few lines of machine quilting have been sewn on my throw quilt. I spent a long, knee popping time over the weekend crawling around on the floor and baste stitching my pinned quilt sandwich together. Can’t say I enjoyed that part. I also can’t say I’m exactly enjoying the machine quilting part just yet.

I’ve wonkified my straight lines so far and am now regretting my choice of off-white thread. It’s just so very visible on my dark, solid backing. At first I thought the contrast would be great but now it is merely spotlighting my ineptitude. LOL. This throw will have a lot of handmade charm.

And oh yeah, I changed my mind again about the block design since I last posted. I do super love how the new quilt top arrangement came out, and also love my wonky hugemongous double cross on the back…but I am going to force myself to wait and show you the finished quilt soon. That will help motivate me.
