Slow going

I did my ruler quilting this morning and it went quite well; I felt comfortable with the tool and it was nice to be doing more than just practising. I stayed focused and didn’t stray from the ruler edge as I sometimes did when I practised. My stitch length varied quite a bit but that happens whenever I free-motion – I keep reminding myself it just takes time and practise. I need to quilt the borders but I’ll save that for another day. Stacia and Deloise both have their projects quilted and probably hung but I’m okay with that. I’ll be a few days behind but I’ll get it done very soon.

I was back to making the scrappy blocks today. I’m a few blocks short of being a quarter done. Each block takes a long time but I’m happy with the results. I’ll finish my way to the quarter-done mark tomorrow and move on to something else. You can see the “something else” under the scrappy blocks.
