Two of the strips are quilted, one more to go and I think I
have an idea of what is supposed to be happening. Only I am not there yet as my
stitch quality could be better.
And, no doubt, I am breaking all sorts of other quilting
rules – some I know about and some I have yet to discover. It doesn’t matter…the
mismatched colors, patterns, and off-grain pieces tickle me.
Known rules broken:
- Total disregard for color and print harmony in chosen fabrics
- No pre-shrinking of the cotton batting yet the cotton fabrics went through the washer and dryer (by the way, this was a conscious decision)
- Not utilizing a stitch regulator for the FMQ (does one even exist for the Bernina 930 Record? I would use one if I had one…)
- Stitching with 100% cotton machine quilting thread vs. a polyester or polyester/cotton machine quilting thread (polyester = superior strength)
