Country Chain and Knot Quilt - Down to Four Rows
Well, the end is in sight. From 879 pieces, I've got it down to just four big ones! All I have left to do is press the four rows, pin them together, then stitch them up.I can't wait until it's all sandwiched up and ready to stipple. This will be by far the largest quilt I've ever tried to stipple on my Bernina; I hope it doesn't give me too much trouble.
At least is looks like I got all the red chains going in the right direction, though I did have to undo the seam between two blocks because the sash and cornerstone were both 1/4 inch too wide. Now how on earth did that happen?
I just finished a little piece and all the squares lined up and when I was sewing the last sashing...it was off by 1/2". what happened is the gremlins got to the square I suppose. I love stippling. I'm off to do that today too. You will have a lot of manoeuvering to do so large a quilt through the machine. I love the top.
