crocus999 OFFLINE Posts: 1909 Thank you received: 149	Marilyn - you've done a great job. I agree that choosing the quilting is hard or almost harder than the quilt top pattern. You'll come up with something great, I'm sure

Margo OFFLINE Posts: 6522 Thank you received: 129	Karen, depending on how wonky it is, you might be able to block it square. You might want to read the topic here: [url]forum/i-need-quilting-related-advice/5050-blocking-a-quilt[/url] Also....I love quilting on the diagonal, but I am REALLY careful that the quilt is stabilized with lots of pins (when quilting on a domestic machine) or basting (on the long arm) to prevent distortion. Good luck!

Help! I think I messed up. I decided to quilt my HST finally. I don't have a walking foot but it seemed to be doing fine. NO! I put it up on my design board and it is ok till you look at the first 1 inch border which is wonky now. Arrrrrh! I was looking back over the post on this topic and saw that Margo said not to quilt on the diagonal. well I read that too late. Can I fix it without taking it apart? I guess I should try and post a picture. If not I am doomed.

MaryJo, have you tried Ricky Tims' mini piped binding technique? It's all done on the sewing machine and makes a fabulous finished edge! All of Ricky's instructions for making it are on his GRAND FINALE DVD: http://www.rickytims.com/online-store?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=2&category_id=2

Here is the edge of It's a Small World done with mini piping between the red border and green binding:

Wow! I haven't been on in a few days so I just got caught up on postings. Liz I really like your quilt top, the color planning is so nice! Patti you have a wonderful reverse quilt, I can't call it the "backside" it is too beautiful and will forever carry the memories of this wonderful celebration of quilting we have all be a part in making. Margo great web teaching on bias woo's and know's! Many young sewers today want to ignore the bias and get in trouble! My top is done and quilted I am now going to start preparing the binding, since it is King size that will mean alot of hand sewing, black on black so it will be done on bright sunny days.
Happy quilting Love & Peace to all!
