Jelly Roll Quilt: The Quilting


I had time to think about the quilting while I was doing the pin basting this morning...


...and remembered I'd seen a blog where the blogstress was using wavy lines for quilting!   I thought with all the strong horizontal lines of this quilt and given that it is a more modern quilt.... that organic curves would be perfect.

Since I couldn't remember where I had seen the wavy quilting, I did a search and lo and behold.... I found a tutorial video for waving quilting on Bijou Lovely!



So after cleaning my machine, winding bobbins, changing from the 1/4" foot to a walking foot, and a new needle... off I went!


It took a short while before I got comfortable moving the fabric side to side but it was fun.  When I went back to sew the in between rows, it was easier than I had thought it would be to stay "in the lines."
