On my design wall today is a practice piece.
I'm practicing channel quilting and I made up this practice piece to see what it looked like.
First I started by doing 45º angles together, but that didn't give me the look I wanted.
Then, I tried 45º and 60º criss-crossing...
That was more what I wanted...A diamond shaped crossing.
Here's a close up that shows the different things I tried and how I labeled them.
This was such a useful exercise! I got to see how my piece would look before I did it.
It's a lot better than what I usually do...Just fly over the cliff without looking and hope I don't fall too far, he he he. Maybe I'm growing up!?!?!?!
On another note, my HQ Sweet Sixteen is shipping TODAY! I am so excited, I can barely contain myself!
I really want to get some of my tops basted this week so I can just jump right in and quilt as soon as it gets here.
Make sure and stop by to see what everyone else is up to at Judy's blog.
