Paisley Problems
Well, it wasn't exactly the design that gave me issues - it was thread tension problems on my machine which led to some ugly paisley echoing. After re-threading my machine it was back to normal and I finished up a small sashing section.
It's not the prettiest thing I've ever done, but I liked the new challenge of this design and could see it growing on me as I got better at it. Here's a view from the back:
Here's the thin sashing section:

I call that a peacock eye. Good luck with your quilting. The design turned out very nice, I like the curved bits...someday I'll curves more, I keep putting them off.
ReplyDeleteThat is going to be gorgeous when completed! I think the quilting is looking great. Coming from a person who can only do straight or wavy lines with a walking foot, I think you're doing a wonderful job! Someday I should be so brave. :) Can't wait to see it when it's all done. xo
ReplyDeleteIt looks real nice on the thin sashing.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you and I are at about the same place with this design. I had a lot of tension problems with it, and I only showed the back of my sample. We will get better as we quilt along.
ReplyDeleteIt looks really nice. And dare I ask if you are doing the Groovey quilt along?
ReplyDeleteThe paisley looks lovely in your white sashing. I like doing the paisley.
ReplyDeleteThe curves are definitely tricky. Yours look amazing compared to my efforts. I need to spend a lot more practice time before I can actually use this pretty design.
