I made my 12" block from blues and neutrals.
My block is 1/4 the size of our barn quilt and has 4 times as many pieces!
After quilting my block, I didn't like the tension on the quilting so I tore out the stitches. Then my sewing machine died. After a fuse in the transformer was replaced, I was set to go. An hour later, my machine died! Some belt has now been replaced. I have to pick up my machine tomorrow. I have started researching new machines - is the handwriting on the wall? I think I'd better be ready and informed in case I need to go shopping.
Love the block! I hope you find a machine you love. I still love my Janome 1600. I don't regret buying it for one second.
ReplyDeleteGreat block.....both large and small! Hope you find a machine that suits your needs. I really love my Juki TL2010Q but all it does is straight stitch..beautifully, every time and, for now, my FMQ "go to" machine. Happy(?) shopping. Sometimes a girl gots to do what a girl gots to do!!Hehe.
ReplyDeleteBoth blocks are beautiful, and I like your FMQ samples too :)

Love both of the blocks. Hope the machine comes home soon and maybe a new one too!
ReplyDeleteI like your barn quilt, and your quilt square! Good luck with your machine, I think a new one is in my future also.
