Heart Quilt quilted

Still on schedule, the Heart Quilt is quilted. It’s only vertical in-the-ditch-ish lines, but still it’s quilted. I used the in-the-ditch presser foot, but I had a little problem adjusting the needle position properly, so the lines are quite visible some places.


The fleece backing is folded to the front and pinned down, with mitred corners and all.

I am very pleased with the dark grey frame around the top. The fleece edge will stretch and move a bit under the walking foot, but that can be corrected with scissors. Did I tell how flexible and forgiving fleece is??

I do not like that the base of the fleece is much lighter than the nap though. It’s showing around the edges. Oh, well, we won’t notice after a week or two. The goal was to finish it by the February guild meeting, and so I will. Everyone that brings a finished heart block swap quilt will be in the drawing of 3 wonderful prizes. How I know? I attended my last board meeting Monday night. I have been looking forward to this 4th year on the board coming to an end, but I’ll miss it too. I have had a lot of fun, made some wonderful friends, learned a lot and got to know many guild members. Now it’s time to pass the torch to someone else…
