Changed my mind….

I decided to quilt the sky wavy and horizontally. I also changed my mind about the thread. The King Tut was too dark for the light parts of the sky. I went with a light peach thread. Too late now since it’s quilted.

Thanks for checking in and reading my blog.

Bottom right building is done

So now I have to go back to the row of brownstones or do the sky. I’m thinking about doing the sky to get the rest of the safety pins out of the quilt.

Here’s the bottom building.

If I decide to do the sky the question becomes how to quilt it. I’ve tried out several ideas on my iPad. I could quilt in wavy diagonal lines or straight lines. 

I think I’m going to use a King Tut thread that is orange and purple to quilt the sky. Sometimes I wish someone would decide for me!!

Nearly there….

Even though I only quilt for a short amount of time each day I’m nearly done with the building that I’m working on. I still have some windows, decorative things, and pillars to quilt, but I’m getting there.  I did the top of the building. It’s lot of starting and stopping. I’ve decided I hate pulling up the bobbin thread when starting. I know I’m supposed to do it, but I find it tedious!

Still working on bottom right building

I feel like I’ll never get it done. I quilt for about an hour or an hour and a half and then can’t take it anymore. I know that it will eventually be done, but it’s so tedious. I still have a long way to go on it. I’ve even simplified things like the windows and even then there’s a lot to quilt. 

I think the biggest thing I’ve learned from making this quilt is not to make one this big again. What sounds like a good idea when I start an idea is not fun in the end!

Thanks for reading.
