Here's a few pictures of the quilting process for the Honky Tonk Quilt I've been working on!
I used masking tape to mark out a perfectly straight line across the blocks from corner to corner. It's like magic. You stitch right next to the tape and you get very very fancy straight lines.
I went back in again, and added a second set of tape lines and stitched along the opposite diagonal...
Then I added another line 1/4" away from the center on each side, in both directions, followed by 3 lines spaced at 1/8". I think it turned out cute!
It shows up remarkably well on the cream colored square.. and it extends into the border - all the way to the very edges
And I loved how it reads across the intersecting corners of different blocks!
Next up is the label and binding, and our little cowboy quilt will be ready to go!
Happy Quilting!
