"Quilt it Out"
My Gammill is tuned up and running smoothly... and I am enjoying quilting a very old quilt. From 2000? My first two quilts turned out pretty well, at least to my uneducated eye... but the next two didn't fare so well. So, I signed up for a class at Heirloom Quilts, Poulsbo WA. Like many others in the area, my first real quilting class was with Norma Tipton. Too bad for me, I missed a couple of the classes, and never quite got the 1/4 inch thing, nor the 'press' not 'iron' lesson. Not Norma's fault at all...and I learned many other things from her later. I did not ever complete the sampler blocks, and some time later put the log cabin blocks together using the most uniform, and added a border. I always wanted to quilt it, because of the sentimental value. So, I put it on the frame this weekend, and am treating it as a custom quilt with a nice, fluffy batting to help those wonky blocks. Whatever the outcome, the quilt has a sentimental value and will be used and appreciated!
