I loaded the Pegasus/Bars quilt onto the longarm even though I'm going to tie it. I figured it would be easier to do that there instead of on a table or the floor. (I'm too old to get down on the floor anymore).
So this is an all wool top, wool batting and a cotton backing. I'm going to use Wonderfil Eleganza Perle cotton #8 thread, doubled, to tie it. I made a little template to try to keep the stitching even and straight. After sewing a few rows by hand I began to think I'm spacing the lines too close! This is going to take a while.
It looks like I won't have enough of that color, so I'm going to use several different colors. And, my hand is tired.
P.S. This Pegasus/Bars quilt is my take on the quilt shown in Roderick Kiracofe's book Unconventional and Unexpected: Quilts Below the Radar.
