Quilt Top Notes/Techniques
Got a 21 fat quarter set of Start Wars The Force Awakens fabric.
I used the Quilt in a Day HST trimmer to make 6″ finished HSTs. Fortunately the fat quarters were a true 21″ wide (I didn’t pre-wash). I used my signature block technique to add in the solids for the lightsabers – I just used 2.5″ strips.
I used left over strips from the fat quarters to make the cornerstones and blocks in the borders.
I should really write a proper pattern for this quilt.
Quilting Notes/Techniques
Attempted to quilt on my friend’s Tin Lizzie longarm, but it kept skipping stitches. Not sure what the issue was. This is the first time I’ve used this batting.
