Technicolor Dream Quilt: 35 inches square Maria Shell Workshop Piece - Linear Blocks - line into form Close up of the quilting. I used Tangerine and Raspberry colored thread. I spray basted this so I wouldn't have pins. I recommend this for modern quilting straight line quilting. I used a hera marker for the 1 inch lines. I then went back with the thread color change and eye balled the 1/2" lines. So I am totally Okay with the lines NOT being perfect. I am a human being after all. woopsie. I accidentally had 3 orange in a row.....I would normally skip it, but decided to correct the line to raspberry. I made a big design adjustment right at the end of this project. Don't be afraid to change your mind, don't be afraid to switch it up even when you think "It's Done". I went from this: To this: to this: What do you think? good, better...best? I often use a strip of an old cutting mat to carry a section to my sewing table. It works great. I also use this for pinning on top of my big board. I used a single fold binding (see tutorial on top tab). I love how nice and smooth it is for a wall hanging. I used four different colors in a log cabin style attachement. Ready for a surprise fun backing? Sugar Skulls! I have had this piece fabric for well over 10 years and it finally found the perfect quilt top and I had just enough - yay! Here is a short explanation of the sugar skull tradition. Calavera - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org › wiki › Calavera The tradition of sugar skulls is for families to decorate their loved ones' ofrendas with both large and small handmade sugar skulls. Children who have died, represented by small sugar skulls, are celebrated on November 1. The larger sugar skulls represent the adults, whose celebration takes place on November 2. I hope you are all doing well and staying healthy. Thank you for your continued concerns regarding my Lyme's Disease. I'm still in pain and plan to call the doctor today. I'll share this wonderful handmade card I received from my sweet friend, Susan C. who I affectionately call Susie Q. Have a great week! xo
