Update on Hand Quilting
Well, Feb was a short month, but I did get more hand stitching done on my BTCT. I was sidetracked with piecing two other projects, but they are now finished. I'm not sure if I posted this info so if I'm repeating myself, sorry. Quilt was marked by Bellwether Drygoods in MD, they did an amazing job. 3/4" cross hatch and I'm outlining all the applique.
Progress to report:
8 blocks are completely outlined. Huge accomplishment as this is where most of my time and energy is being focused.
Once the blocks are outlined, the grid work is what shines. I've tried to stitch a line or two at the end of my sessions, so it's a slow process.
Now that it's got some quilting on it, the tank is getting easier to handle. It still weighs the same, it's just denser and easier to handle. I am committed to staying focused on this project,
What are you staying focused on?
