Lessons and Learning and Doing.....

Hello, again.

It's been awhile..

Why haven't you written?

Let's keep in touch.....

6 days to a week has been a long time....

Life sometimes does that to you...Groceries have to be bought, and cooked (sometimes)....taxes have to be done (Yea~Done!)...Lessons learned, more on that later....

I have done this, however....

Pinned and ready to quilt....

I usually hand quilt my quilts mainly because I still have to get up the gumption to try the machine kind.  But I am ready to try this one, using my walking foot.  It will go a lot faster, even if I do set the machine at the lowest speed setting to do it.  Hopefully there will not be any ripping out in the future. (ongoing Lesson....)

As far as my B/B quilt? (or MAVERICK, as the magazine called it, will look up which magazine and let you know in a future post)..I am working on the borders as well.  Both of them have to be pieced, one because I just want to (directional fabric), and the other is made up of  B/B pieces in the quilt. 

Also, it was suggested that I miter the corners...which I have never done. So I have been scouring the quilting community for tutorials and have come up with a couple of good possibilities..(Lesson #2)

I plan to practice on a couple of charm blocks I have in mind...using them as centers for the mitered borders and later using the blocks in either a quilt, or a series of mug rugs, or some such as that.....

See you soon....
