Thank you for the kind comments.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I do all my quilting by hand, but I sew the blocks by machine. <BR/><BR/>I do not mark the 1/4inch in pencil, but I do put a piece of heavy duct tape at the quarter inch on the machine. The fabric glides along the duct tape and that helps a lot to keep the blocks square. <BR/><BR/>It's almost impossible to get it exact every time, so you just learn to fudge it and not stress out.<BR/><BR/>Almost all the quilts I make are king size and it takes about two years to complete because I only work on them now and then during the winter months. It's a fun hobby and I love sleeping under them. <BR/><BR/>I hope you come back and post whenever you feel like saying something.Diana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-1164303484056603412006-11-23T12:38:00.000-05:002006-11-23T12:38:00.000-05:00Hi Zoey, Delurking to say I've been enjoying your ...Hi Zoey, Delurking to say I've been enjoying your blog. I can't believe the amount of work you put into your garden! Everything looks amazing! <BR/><BR/>I love pumpkin too. I made pumpkin penne last night. Mmm.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I wanted to ask, do you do all your quilting by hand? How do you sew the blocks so that each edge will be uniform? Do you mark a 1/4-inch margin in pencil? Just curious b/c even with a sewing machine, when it comes time for me to piece it all together, my squares end up slightly off.<BR/><BR/>And I totally know what you mean about being a selfish quilter. I put so much work into the two that I've made that I don't think anyone except another quilter would really appreciate it in the way I'd like.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
