I'm trying to take my time and do a good job of ditch quilting on this little quilt (24.5" square). I decided to just follow the stripes or plaids in the background with stitching lines too.
I don't like the way the fabric looks distorted when I take close up pictures. I have been trying to figure out what causes it so I can do them differently.
I have almost all of Valori Wells' books and "Radiant New York Beauties" had a plaid quilt on the cover. I used the paper piecing templates from the book but did a different layout when I made this little piece. I didn't make it as big as hers for one thing. My attention span told me when I was done making blocks.
We were still under the high pressure front yesterday so I still had that nagging headache. I was feeling better by evening so I hope today will be a better day.
Jane and Karen, you both asked me questions yesterday but you are both no reply-comment @ blogger .com. That means I can't email you. My email link is on my right side bar. I'm happy to answer questions if I have an email address for you.
