Clover Quilting

Thankfully I got a jump on ironing a backing fabric for the Clover Pillow right before the power went out (again) . Then I steam ironed it really well, thinking it was a fusible batting, nope. Out came the bucket o' safety pins and I was ready for stitching. I used a Hera marker to mark some diagonals.

The walking foot cah-chunked away. I always have to get used to the sound of it all over again. So ratchety.

Here's how it is looking after a few diagonals and all the other big seam lines stitched down.

I've got to think on how to accentuate these star-ish shapes between blocks, because that's my favorite part. They remind me a bit of those atomic mid-century star shapes.

I started out with the orange thread first, but I may add in some other colors.

Maybe some curving lines to highlight those stars? We'll see.
