After attending a Westalee Ruler work shop I have been itching to get back to some quilting. Plus this one is on my 2016 Finish Along for this quarter.
This is the quilt that I need to finish. I am halfway through quilting it, so I am eager to finish it. I am playing with 2 circle templates.
The key to using these rulers is play with them and practice. I like to keep the key closest to me so I can see it easily and take a little extra care as I go pass it.
This quilt only has four large blocks. So I started in the centre of each block working my way out. Then I used the 2" circle template to fill the centre of the quilt and around the outside edges of the blocks. Lastly I filled the outer border with circles, plus four extra circle that fits in the corners over the inner border.
By 4 pm I finally finished the quilting. A number of ends to tie in and then the binding. The plan is to finish this quilt this week.
Then I can look at the next quilt that is ready for quilting. Another chance to play with the rulers.
Until Next Time
Keep Stitching

ReplyDeleteI really need to get over my fear of quilting designs. Templates seem like the way to go. Lol I have such quilting anxiety!
