JT2 WIP

I have been taking another look a photo I took last year of all the blocks I have completed and wonder if I can tweak the arrangement  so I can finish it. There are only 3 15" blocks here and I wonder if I can balance it nicely. It certainly is pretty with all those colours. I was thinking of machine quilting it with Baptist fans. Never done that before and it has stressed me somewhat trying to figure out how to do that. I checked out blogs and tutorials and bought a fancy dancy ruler to draw all the curves and even a disappearing pen to mark the lines.This is not the final layout although many of the blocks are sewn into units.

Blessings,
Chris

  1. I love your quilt. Too bad you don't hand quilt but the fan will look nice on it.

    1. Hand quilting hurts my hands these days, but oddly enough, hand applique does not. I suppose I could consider hand quilting it. Since I am a ways from completing it, I can dream or stress about it for a couple more years. The fabric is really nice to work on.

  2. All those blocks looks so beautiful together. You could arrange them, and add white strips to make it all work together. The fans will be wonderful on them, machine or by hand.

  3. Beautiful-I love solid fabrics against white backgrounds. I especially love the purple block in the centre.

  5. Great job! I'm getting ready to load my Just Takes Two on my longarm. Have no idea how I'm going to quilt it! I also made different colored blocks and played with the finally layout. :)
