Champagne Quilters update

Well, we have started another quilt.

So, here it is up on the frame.

And from a different angle.

A close-up of the corner treatment.

We haven't used channel quilting in quite a while. I think it's because we used it a lot at one time and got tired of it. When doing this we don't mark anything, we just use masking tape (see the first two photos) and quilt beside it. It keeps the lines straight. Once again, I am doing the long sides while my two co-horts are doing the interesting quilting. Oh well, I'll be finished soon. We took two turns of the frame last night and I will try to remember to bring the camera next week to show you the quilting design in the plain blocks.

  6. Your stitches are amazing! I had never heard of using masking tape for quilting lines before, but it sounds like a great idea.
