I wanted to get a post done before Stitchin on the Lake had the Let's go Visiting! Guess what? The dang thing would not load. I lost my post! So of course, here I am a day late trying it again and we will see what happens. I do hope people come back!
Anyway my post was many questions. I want to get opinions. Now where is that list of questions????
I wonder how many people starch their fabric as they sew their blocks?
I just started doing this and I am really liking the results. I press and starch before cutting and then when my block is finished, before squaring it up, I press and starch it again.
Do you stitch your blocks together as you finish them or lay them out when they are all finished and then sew them together?
I wait till all the blocks are done, lay them out, and then stitch them together.
Do you label all your quilts?
I really need to do this. I have on a few but not all of them.
Do you take pictures of your quilts when they are finished?
I take a picture and have intentions of putting them into an album. So far I haven't. I do take notes of the fabric I use and dates I made them and plan to add that to the picture in the album, when I get the album going! LOL!
What is your favorite thread for piecing?
I usually use thread from Connecting Threads.
Do you quilt your own quilts?
Yes.
Do you quilt on your sewing machine or do you have a long arm?
I quilt on both. I do have a longarm and I am learning just what I can do. It is a big learning curve.
Are you primary colors or pastel?
I love both but I have noticed I use mostly primary colors. I need to make something using pastels.
I hope you will comment on my questions.
We are traveling and I am on a limited gigabyte, so I can't post many pictures.
Piece!
