Time to get this quilt sandwich set up on the sewing machine. I've got the right thread colors in the top (orange) and bottom (lime green), the walking foot is on, a new needle is installed, the surrounding surfaces are cleared off and flat.
Starting with the center vertical line going mostly along the block edges. Not quite in-the-ditch, but close to that.
In some cases, the vertical line doesn't carry on continuously, so time for some Hera marking to get from point A to point B.
I marked as I went down each line, using my wonderful
American Vantage point turner/Hera marker that friend Jaye gave me. It makes a really good visible line in both prints and solids. Very easy to follow while quilting.
Here's how it's looking after quilting both vertical and horizontal 4" spaced out lines. I think I might go on the diagonal now to add interest. Or maybe just split up the squares into 2" spacing vertically and horizontally.
