I am still working away at my WCQ.
Not good in the heat we have at present!
Am now well into the borders being filled.
Front
Back
You may be able to see my trade mark lady bug in one of the stippled borders :)
I did small circles in the centre - which took me a week to do...
Micro stippling in the next border.... not so long.
Today I am going to start on some echo quilting, then maybe back to micro stippling on the final filler before the outer border
I think the outer border will be piano keys with a double line - I think... waiting till I get there.
I am sorry not to be able to show you much else, but I need to get this finished.
Its a heavy quilt as it has double batting - one of wool and one of cotton!
Quilted in silk YLI 100 and Aurifil 50 in the bobbin. I am not having problems with this and it is quilting well with the tension I have.
Using my DSM Nessie - a Bernina 820. The bobbin is set with the inside bobbin case dot slightly to the right of the dot on the bobbin...the top tension is on 2. and the pressure foot is set on Zero. Took me a while to get the pressure right but its all working fantastically now.
Now back to my quilt till I get too hot again!
