The Thread Engineer

Just wanted to share another quilt that I completed this summer.  When I knew the delivery date of my longarm quilting machine - end of June - I knew that I would need practice material to help me feel comfortable using the machine.  My friend had passed on lots of fabric from her mother who had recently downsized so I had lots in my stash to choose from.  I went with the burgundies and quickly put together a disappearing nine-patch. 

With all the sashing and piecing, I had wonderful practice material to try many different quilting patterns. 

 

To finish it all off I had my first attempt at a scalloped edge.  I think it turned out great!  Now, what to do with it???  We only have so many beds in the house!
