I finished the next to last border on the Blogger's BOM. I quilted a scroll which is relatively easy. The hardest part is making sure the direction of the curl alternates properly. I seem to want to sew the scrolls in the same direction. I've had problems in the past keeping the size of each scroll consistent. This one was easy. I used the width of the piano keys as a guide. It really worked out well.
I thought I would have more quilting done by now but the holiday as well as my work schedule seemed to throw me off. I've started stitching in the ditch in the piano key border. It seems a bit time consuming but I'll be happy when it's done!
As usual, I will be linking up at Leah Day's Free Motion Friday page which you can see here.
Hope you're having a wonderful holiday weekend!
Really nice work. You will be so happy when you get this finished.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Karen! You're so right! This quilt is taking me forever!!
DeleteGreat idea to use the piano keys as spacers for your swirls.
ReplyDeleteStay cool!
Thanks! So sick of having the A/C running all the time. I want some nice dry air!!
DeleteYour scrolls look fantastic to me, rosemary! Soooo lovely...you are really progressing so well with your quilting...Hugs, Julierose (just about dog-sat out here!! LOL)
ReplyDeleteThank you! It surely is a learning process! Hope the dog is easier today!
DeleteThe scrolls look great and that's a good tip to use the piano keys as a guide for the size!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sharon. It was so much easier than marking the quilt. Those piano keys came in handy!
DeleteLike that scroll...you did a great job on that. I find scrolls really challenging, always get confused re the direction.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Glad I'm not alone! I always have to remind myself what direction to make the next scroll!
DeleteI really like this and it's inspired me to try scrolls next :)
ReplyDeleteI think you'll be surprised at how easy they are! Let me know how it goes! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteI've done that same scroll and had the same problem. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Yours look great!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Great minds think alike!
