Nearing the end…

It’s hard to believe that I’m nearly done with the machine stitching on the recycle piece. I just have to quilt the raven. The quilting has been stressful because you really can’t mark the quilting lines on plastic. Plus you can’t rip it out. Plastic is not as forgiving as fabric. So I’ve had to just wing it for the stitching that I have already done. 

This morning I discovered that I can mark the quilting lines for the raven with a white gel pen, stitch and then remove the lines with a damp cloth. That will make doing the raven a bit less stressful.

Here’s the current state of the piece. It’s 14 inches by 14 inches. I think I’ll be doing some hand stitching as well.

Here’s roughly how I plan on quilting the raven. 

Thanks for reading. Now all I need is a good title!
