QUILT PHOTOS

 Today I set up two quilts and Darrell photographed them for me.

CITY NOISE QUILTED

 I finished the quilting on City Noise this morning.

VERTICAL QUILTING

Having loaded the City Noise on the machine yesterday going side to side so I could quilt vertical lines on it, I started on that this morning.  

Every vertical seam needs to stay perfectly straight or the quilting will show it off.  So there's a lot of checking, pulling and pushing to make sure it's all good before I start quilting.

I'm using a medium yellow 50wt Aurifil thread and spacing the lines randomly, plus or minus a quarter-inch.

After that, I wanted to go back and make that #32 Playcation 2022 block that I had skipped over.  And in the process of that I realized I'd skipped #31, too.  So, I did both.   They are so relaxing.

 

ONWARD AND UPWARD

I finally got the City Noise quilt onto the longarm.  I got it all set up and ready.

I had a back already made.  It's a kind of a weird one, too.  I don't know what I was thinking.  I used heavy-duty Ikea fabrics and a cotton/linen fabric.  It's interesting, but weird.

Then I made another Playcation 2022 improv block, #33.  Afterwards, I realized I skipped #32.  Uh, oh.  I'll get it tomorrow.

Then I took that great big Solstice Star quilt out into the front yard to take photos.

 

TOP FINISHED AND NAMED

I've been working on the Pieced Ribbons project since taking the workshop with Sarah Bond.  I put the last seam in it this afternoon.  The top is done and I finally named it - City Noise.
