This is a continuation of a previous post about the quilt started in a Cindy Grisdela class on improv curved piecing.
I quilted the piece with straight lines using black thread and a walking foot. I placed the lines by using the edge of the walking foot. I don't why it is that the lines eventually drift one way or the other. I know that this is not only my problem. Jacquie Gering posted a YouTube video a few years ago about solving the drifting problem. And she has written THE BOOK about walking foot quilting. So, what I did was to quilt 5-6 lines on the left side of the block, then 5-6 lines on the right side. When those were done, and were clearly drifting, I sewed right down the middle of the block. Each remaining section of unstitched space was then divided and quilted, until all of the unquilted sections were done. I like the look of some lines thin and some wider. It makes my quilt a little more human-made. And I am a maker.
Its faced with solid black fabric and measures 41"x 41". I named it "Swirls".
I hope you like it.
