It seemed like yesterday’s quilting went very quickly so I had big plans for today. I have just now finished the stabilizing straight-line quilting and I have a massive amount of ends to knot and tie in. I tried several different ways to do the straight lines that wouldn’t result in so many ends but anything I tried seemed to end up with the same amount.

I know that straight-line quilting takes much longer than free-motion quilting but, whenever possible, I slip into the straight-line pattern; for this particular quilt though I think the straight lines were the right choice.

I’ll start working on the ends while we watch TV tonight. At least I’ll keep warm!

Tomorrow I’ll be ready to start playing with my free-motion ruler template.
