Quilting, Quilting

I have loaded a dreaded quilt on the machine. I guess I was more stressed than I thought over this one cause now that it is going along nicely I feel so relieved. It is a t-shirt quilt, top and bottom. The first block had a lot of that rubbery writing and pictures and the machine just did not want to move over it. I was concerned about stretching and puckers. It is going pretty good. The t-shirts all have the pellon on the back plus the batting so it is kind of thick. Some of the things I get myself into!!

Other than that I have been getting some string blocks done and some swap blocks finished. The swap blocks are very pretty!!

Back to work.

Good luck Carol. I hope the rest of that quilt goes well. I know what it is like putting something off that seems so daunting and once you get to it...it wasn't that bad afterall.

I made one t-shirt quilt and I hope it was the last! I only made it because it was from t-shirts of a little girl who died of cancer and her mom asked me to. How could I say no? and it meant so much to her.
