I quilted this block yesterday before the Superbowl. I didn't have too much time so I thought I would just quilt one block. I wanted to try curved cross hatching for the bowl. It's a small bowl so I thought it was the perfect size to try a new technique.
I marked one inch dots all around the bowl. It was a little difficult where the bowl curves. I just did my best. I've always heard curved cross hatching is very forgiving. It looks fine to me! It's difficult for me to keep the foot tight up against the curved ruler. I think this is the first time I kept it against the ruler and actually got the look I was aiming for.
We bought some food for out Superbowl dinner but I made air fryer egg rolls. They came out so good! I feel they're healthy since they weren't deep fried so I could eat as many as I wanted!! We had a fun night especially since our team won!!
Very pretty little bowl and lovely quilting--
ReplyDeleteDo you use your air fryer a lot? I am thinking of getting one as i am

Thanks, Julierose! We don't use the air fryer all the time but it does work great when we do use it. We like making potato wedges in the air fryer. You would swear they were fried. I do think you save a lot of calories. I would recommend it. We got the smaller one. It's fine for us.
DeleteCurved crosshatching was the perfect choice for that bowl! It accentuated the bowl shape so nicely. So what is "air frying"?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Em! An air fryer is an appliance that fried without oil. I think it's similar to an air popper for pop corn. Food gets crispy without the added oil. It works great!
DeleteLove your bowl. We have an air fryer too. Have not experimented but love it. Usually am airgrying potatoes or sweet potatoes

Thanks, Dawn. I love potato wedges in the air fryer. You would never know they're not fried. So good!!
