Slow stitch Sunday
The grandmothers choice block for the week is perfect for a slow stitch Sunday. I plan to put this one together later tonight while watching The Amazing Race. I think there will also be a midget version of this one too!
This week I have slowly been working on my hand quilting of the QSA blocks while waiting for the kid line up at school and a few stitches taken here and there in the evenings. It is coming along nicely and I only have a couple of borders to go on this one before I can move onto the next one. It is so much easier quilting this one with a lot less seams than the usual QSA blocks. I can't wait to get these done so I can pull out my fireworks wall hanging for quilting.
Head on over to Quilter Kathy's and see what others are slow stitching on today.
Enjoyed seeing your hand quilting close up :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to Slow Sunday Stitching!
Your quilting looks great! I am now 4 blocks behind out of 7 on my Grandmother's Choice! LOL! That's not good at all. :( I have the fabric pulled but it has been a busy past few days for me. Hopefully I can get some of them made this week before the next block comes out!
