It's been a long time since I've been able to participate in DWM. The Baltimore Christmas is a finished top and is hanging with other tops while I work on this:
What is this, you ask? Practice sandwiches. I purchased a used HQ Sweet Sixteen and have been practicing ever since mid-June. The latest is on the right. Not too bad, if I say so.
I got a bit bored with the practice, so I put a baby quilt together using a panel on the top and purposely chose a solid color for the back so I could see what was happening.
Oh, look. Really good stitches. Nice and uniform.
Not good is the tuck. There are more than one. Ugh. I know what happened. It was my basting, I did not have the backing taut enough for pin basting. I should have taken it all out, but I wanted to see what would happen if I didn't. Is this going to compound itself?
