#adresdenquilt is a free pattern on my blog.
Geez Louise, I’m done. This was one of the most Geez Louise, I’m done. This was one of the most stressful quilting jobs I’ve done. If you saw my post a few days back, you know that this #rescuequilt flimsy did not lay flat. NOT by far! No matter how much I tried I couldn’t get it. I just couldn’t. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I had to resort to sewing little tucks. I’ve tried to make them invisible as best I can. And the whole time I’m quilting I’m just fretting and worrying over it. I finished the quilting this morn about 1 am and I pulled it from my machine and threw it on the floor to give it a quick look over. I couldn’t even see all the tucks. 👏🏻 If I’m looking for them I’ll find them, I know. Lots of imperfections. But you know what? I’m not even going to look. Why would I look for imperfections when all I see is this lovely vintage beauty. I cannot wait to get it bound and washed up.

Quilted with my succulent design on my domestic Bernina 550.
I’m sharing Nuria’s ( @fabricstork ) #sugarbea I’m sharing Nuria’s ( @fabricstork ) #sugarbearquilt . Isn’t it ahhhmmmazimg?! She used all @artgalleryfabrics new #agfandina fabrics. You’ll have to visit her feed to see the quilting. It’s absolutely beautiful.

This is a hand pieced #glorifiedninepatchquilt that won’t lay flat. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Not going to be able to get as fancy with the quilting as I’d hoped because of this. ☹️ Seems like a fitting end to my week of mopies.
