I finished hand stitching the binding on the Frosty's this week. Now I can start hand quilting the embroidery blocks. 
Yes, I know this is not the normal order. I did machine quilt the sashing and cornerstones before I made and attached the binding to the front. I am trying out the blue marker for the first time with this quilt. I marked lines at 1 inch intervals using a 45 degree angle on my ruler. I have 3 of the Frosty's marked for hand quilting. I'll be working on this Sunday morning while I watch the F1 race with the boy.
Linking up with the Slow Sunday Stitchers.
great job on the sticheries,the snowmen look great in blues!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great day ahead - enjoy your hand quilting!
ReplyDeleteI love your Frosties in blue, Deb! I think your grid quilting in the blocks is going to look great. I wish I had done something like that. I'm tempted to rip out the hand quilting I did do, and try the grid instead. Maybe over the winter!
ReplyDeleteLet us know if the new order works well.
ReplyDeleteI just love your Snowmen quilt, the stitcheries are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBinding before hand quilting the blocks is a great idea. It will keep the edges from fraying while you manipulate the quilt. I am loving all those cute snowmen. Gail at the Cozy Quilter
