Two steps forward and four HUGE steps back. It took forever to load the smaller Aunt Daisy quilt onto the frame. Then I had a friend from California visit and family for Easter. Earlier last week I started quilting using a Baptist Fan pantograph...Absolutely hated it! Hated it so much the pantograph is in my guild donation pile.
It took almost 20 minutes after each pass to line up the next row and I still didn't get it right. I quilted four rows, said a very very bad cuss word, and took the quilt off the frame and chucked the pantograph. I plan to take all the quilting out. So frustrating.
On a positive note, I finish one of my oldest UFOs.
This was the last Project Linus mystery quilt (I miss them). Started in 2023. I still had four blocks to make. Decided I didn't like one of the original blocks, so I created my own...the coral and shells in the bottom left. The instructions for this quilt were fantastic with great ironing instructions. The blocks and rows were easy to put together and all the seams nested!
Next up is adding a sleeve to Wind Drifter. I'm entering my first quilt into our guild show next month. I also have a back to make for the next quilt I'm going to load on the frame. Hopefully progress will be made.
