Basting and Quilting




I was pin basting Evening Stars/Stars of Hope, and wouldn't you know, I saw that two of the paper-pieced star blocks had units turned the wrong way! The blocks were up on the design wall for at least two weeks and I didn't catch it, nor did I notice it when I sewed the blocks and rows together, and I even took it to guild meeting for "show and tell"! Well, I was three quarters done with basting and for a fleeting moment I was going to take it all apart and fix it. Then on second thought - no! Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Just as sometimes we have to accept something less than we had hoped for.
I've begun the machine quilting using Signature #40 variegated blue thread.
