I pieced two different versions for myself - one out of yardage and one scrappy.
Fast forward nearly four years and I am working on quilting the scrappy version. Although I have done some free motion work in the ensuing years, and even taught a few beginner classes, I have not worked on anything as large as this in a long time. I have also purchased a ruler foot and rulers for my machine and am learning to use them.
I feel like a newbie all over again. I know what I want to do - but the muscle memory is very rusty. It is like riding a bike again after many years - you know what to do but are very wobbly.
I am not pleased with my stitches or the thread colors I have chosen. But as I work, the stitches get a little better, the movement of the quilt gets a little easier, and I remember why I love to quilt. So I will pick myself up and keep at it. Linking with nina marie sayer and her post on troubleshooting free motion quilting.
