That *%&%^ Bear Tracks quilt
Hi guys,
Well, the top is finished and I am in the process of pin basting. The top turned out OK -- I wasn't anal as usual about getting ALL of those points just so! Actually, some of them are pretty wonky but what else can you expect from a quilt with so many bias pieces in it? Besides, I talked to the guy on the galloping horse and HE said it looked just fine to him :-). I don't have to worry about the quilt police -- I am in north Georgia and it's only quit raining in the last few hours and we are fairly well surrounded by standing water in all of the low laying areas. the QP will need an ark to get to my house -- LOL! I have also decided on my quilting motifs. I don't usually do anything fancy with the quilting -- usually some sort of grid or meander. this quilt needs something different so it will get it :-)! The center portion (12" w x 24" l) will have a 1.5" diagonal grid and then I will SITD on the rest of the quilt. The border strip around the grid (6" wide) will have a 4" continuous line kitty design and the corner blocks will have a 5.5" sitting kitty. The surrounding 6" Bears Paw blocks are done in a 12" Bear Tracks setting. These larger blocks will get a continuous line looped wreath design with a center loop motif. I looked at loads of other quilting designs but all of those angular seam lines of the Bears Paw blocks really need some soft, more organic lines of quilting. Besides, it's *much* easier to do in free motion quilting :-). Anyway, once I get the whole thing pin basted, I will try to remember to have DH take a digital pic and I will post it. I have to have this thing finished by next Thursday so everything else gets put on the back burner. YESSSSSSS -- that means I can ignore the housework for another week -- LOLOL! CiaoMeow ^;;^ ..
