How is your thread breaking? Does it look like its fraying, snapping, or shearing?

Well, I read the cutting directions wrong and had to make some swaps, but I think this is coming out quite well

Oh my god the blue quilt is stunning they all are but that one might as well be hollering at me for how I feel right now

Its happening. I’m actually working through my backlog. Trimmed and bound three of the six quilts this week that I’ve had on my floor for like a year.

Now we wait for the snow to melt and the ground to dry so I can take their pictures. #quiltsky

Oh I have been there. Honestly a lot of my work has been just trying things out and seeing if I like them. Theres a fair few quilts that I have made that I’ll probably never post for one reason or another

It feels like every big quilt I do has stages

1. Get excited and start the quilting
2. Make decent progress for a bit
3. Get overwhelmed by the scope of the project and stop
4. Let it sit a while and work on other things
5. Come back with fresh eyes and more patience

I think I’m at 5 now #quiltsky

Welp I was going to finish cutting out my Skylight quilt top, but I discovered I shorted myself a whole half yard of background fabric and the store opens after the new year. But, I did finish basting the hexies for section 3 of Alchemy! #quiltsky

Finally finished the matchstick quilting section of this quilt. I am not the biggest fan of the technique as its both time consuming and tedious, but I do love the resulting texture. #quiltsky

I saw it featured on an old episode of the Midnight Quilt Show and ended up choosing my own colors.

Work is still progressing on my custom quilting project, but what kind of quilter would I be if I only had one project going at a time?? This one has been sitting for a while and I’m super excited to finally have time for it!!

Making slow but steady progress! I’m thrilled with how the contrast in density is turning out, but I can’t do too much at a time as I need to give my arms a break every section or two. #quiltsky
