Of course, to do that, I needed a design wall. So I got out a bit of batting and hung it on the wall. It's not glamorous, but it works! So what is on my design wall?
I making another Les Amis baby quilt. I need to get a baby quilt done very quickly and I had a bunch of HST's left over from the last Les Amis quilt I made for my cousin. I figured with the work half done, I shouldn't fight it. I only had to make 6 more HST's to finish this layout.
I'm hoping to sew the rows together later this week. My real dilemma is whether I should load it on the longarm that was delivered late last week. I've been practicing, but I still don't have the complete hang of it yet. However, I recognize that my free motion skills on the domestic exponentially improved when I stopped fearing quilting on real quilts. Practicing on scraps can only get you so far, at some point you have to bite the bullet and "Just do it!" (as Kate was saying on her blog recently). So do I just do it? I think the answer might be "Yes!".
Thanks for reading today,
