Thanks for ...Ooh, I love the curved cross hatching. Thanks for sharing about the books (and the tip for the spiral binding). Walking foot quilting has been more comfortable than FMQ for my wonky shoulder this year, so I really need to try more complex walking designs. Walking foot works so well for these bitty quilts because turning them isn’t too bad. These will be so cheerful and comforting for some stressed out little kids. The rain! Did you realize that it was also raining when you photographed the tops?! Please don’t float away (or get lost in the lawn jungle).JanineMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13475847392355523001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331056529990165279.post-36599571786060745402018-05-18T20:32:27.453-04:002018-05-18T20:32:27.453-04:00Lovely littlequilts and they will be prized by the...Lovely littlequilts and they will be prized by their new owners.
