Jagged Lines

This week's design was Jagged Lines.  I used it in the outer border of the quilt.  After quilting it I have to say that I don't think it looks quite as good lengthwise down the border (the way I did it).

Straight lines are by their nature less forgiving than wavy lines, but I still liked the variation.  However, I quickly learned that I needed to pivot more definitively.  My corners weren't quite as sharp as I would have liked them.  Oh well - Practice, practice.  :)

I ran out of thread on the last border right before I could echo the last line.  So close and yet so far away!  I've been trying to avoid venturing out into the storm as much as possible, but a girl's got to have thread, so I may just have to brave it.

  1. The parts we can see look good! I can't imagine going lengthwise down a border with this - that is one heck of a long way! Good luck getting more thread - been there and it's so maddening! Good Luck! ~Jeanne
