I spent several hours yesterday finishing the quilting around the hair and on the borders. Each little square takes a lot of time as I am not free motion quilting the border. So, I have to turn the quilt each and every time I create the quilt design for each border square. I tried free motion quilting the squares but the result just wasnt’ what I wanted. I wanted a very clean, precise and neat quilting line and I achieved this much more effectively with simple straight line quilting. I am almost finished and once the entire piece is quilted I will begin beading the dress, birds, and vines.
