The worktable- wow


I have gotten all the straight line quilting done on this lap quilt.  I used the guide on the  walking foot to make sure I stayed straight through the bigger squares. 


 I changed the thread from variegated blue to yellow and zig zagged  a few lines thought the gold squares.  Then I free motioned in the largest squares.  I went  around the rooster and added flowers.  I also free motioned a rooster in one blue square.  kinda fun!



Before I bind the first quilt I was anxious to get started on the sampler. I've stabilized the straight seams with invisible thread.  I'm doing the sashing because I have the right colour.  I may need to buy something for the actual blocks.  I want subtle when I try the curved outlines in the sampler blocks.


I really like MQing and I can see I've gotten rusty so I'll need to keep my skills up.  It is very true- use it or lose it!
