Having too much says "I'm a slob," but just enough says "It's beautiful and I meant to do it like that."

Jill your quilt is so awesome, as is your photography! I really love everything about it, from the exuberance of shape and colors you used, to the way you explained your quilting. I am going to take with me two of your ideas: to use scraps on the back more often instead of storing them and to purposely get wiggly in the quilting so people will know I didn't sneeze. (That cracked me up.)

Believe it or not, I actually ripped out the center rows for the pleasure of stitching them again. Actually because of all the bulk I was shoving in the beginning, I would get this annoying bobble in the stitches after I turned the corner. The bobble drove me nuts, but it was so much easier to do right the second time because a lot of the bulk had been quilted down. Profound insight #2: pre-quilted quilts are easier to quilt. :-)Jill Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17777324112388122299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3117874423611375090.post-59683703541878547072015-05-16T21:22:39.480-05:002015-05-16T21:22:39.480-05:00Thanks, Linda!
