This is a jelly roll race quilt (without the race) and I added the brown squares in between each strip. I was surprised how nicely they got spread out across the quilt. I only have 8 different fabrics in my quilt, but it really needs more.
As I was loading the quilt on the longarm frame, I decided to try some straight line quilting. I forgot that I can't use my horizontal locks to get lines that match up with the quilt because my leaders are not straight. But that didn't stop me from trying! I figured it out about 1/3 the way down. Oh no! What can I do to fix this?
How about some words? Since this is a ministry quilt, I decided to quilt the Galatians 5:22-23 on it.
This one says "the fruit of the spirit is..."
"love"
"kindness"
Another cute quilt! My leaders aren't straight either.
ReplyDeleteI read that if you pin the leaders together and roll them back and forth a few times that it may help to straighten them.
My leaders aren't straight either. maybe I'll try Norece's trick. :) I like your idea of quilting a Bible verse into your quilt.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt turned out lovely.
