I'm making slow progress on Jack's Chain but slow progress is better than no progress. So far I've quilted an X in each of the 3 inch nine patches and quilted around all the little triangles and in the ditch around all of the hexagons. Now I'm quilting a motif in the hexagons and have about 1/4 of those completed.
Just trying to keep stitches even and the middle of those hearts joined properly so they don't look messy. And I'm enjoying my time with this quilt. I'm in no hurry. This will be a quilt for the hope chest - a wedding quilt for my grandson who is only 7. (The wedding quilts for the granddaughters are already in the hope chest).
Enjoying some Slow Stitching?

Such a happy bunch of nine-patches - I love this quilt! Between this and the Ring Cycle, I'm just itchin' to make a stack of nine-patches myself!
ReplyDeleteSometimes not adding all the stitches at the very center helps. I find I try to get to close sometimes, just a thought. I just love this quilt it really catches your attention.
