Indigo Way quilt is now completed and gifted, and I'm so happy with the way it turned out. Had a lot of work with "Jack" but the results were worth all the hours. I made a whole clue incorrect and had to unpick 6 of the nine blocks. It happens - at least I could binge watch TV.
This mystery was an interesting one in that there was traditional piecing and foundation paper piecing. I must admit I'm kind of liking the foundation paper piecing. I like to reuse the papers as many times as I can, so I use printer paper to make a master that I file away after making a few copies. I fold back the paper and sew right next to the edge, that way I can reuse the papers and my needle is going to last that little bit longer. I make templates for the individual pieces and chain sew each block.
I like to sew and watch TV. Lucky for me my sewing room is also our theatre room.As I said last post, I do not like the sandwiching and pinning of the layers. I don't mind the quilting and would like to improve my quilting designs - maybe this is the year 😊.
I even hand embroidered the label, something else I need to improve on. For backing I used fabric in Rose's favourite footie team colours.
My first finish for 2024.
