I really, really enjoyed quilting this grid 💛 I m I really, really enjoyed quilting this grid 💛

I made the lines a little bigger this time than I did on my sample, and I ended up loving the extra space and texture it gave the quilt. It’s technically a one-inch grid, except for the rectangle happening in the center.

I marked the whole thing with a Hera marker before quilting, this was one of those really relaxing sewing sessions where you just settle in and stitch for a while.

Chapter 3 of the Morning Rising Mini Quilt Class i Chapter 3 of the Morning Rising Mini Quilt Class is now available ✂️

In this chapter, we’re marking the quilt with a Hera marker and quilting the background using simple straight line quilting and a walking foot. We’re quilting the background before attaching the Dresden plate, which gives the finished mini such a pretty layered look and keeps the quilting process really manageable.

I sat down thinking I was just going to sew a little bit, and before I knew it, the whole background block was finished and basted. Yes to easy sewing days ✂️

Everything is pressed, cut, organized, and ready to sew. I spent a lot of time thinking about these fabrics before cutting into them, and now that it’s all laid out beside the machine, I’m getting really excited to start piecing.

Honestly, this part always feels a little magical to me. Like the quiet moment right before the quilt starts becoming real ✂️ Cabinet and chair from @arrowsewing
