The ‘Window Section’ was under
the needle quite a bit and the quilting on it has been finished.
It was then time to go back to
the upper left hand section – the ‘Angled Section’ to finish the quilting on
it. I had considered doing some free form outlining of the flourishes, started
that way & un-quilted that part I did.
I ended up doing rays in the four medium pieces. I think it helps
reinforce the angles of the section.
The Upper Right section has not
yet even started being pieced. ACK!!
However, in an effort to have forward progress on the project, I started
assembling the left side column sections.
The middle column sections are going to be a bit tricky as the very center piece needs a narrow outline added to it, to bring it up to size. So? You ask – what’s the big deal? Narrow strips and assembling quilted sections do NOT always mix well. I had been joining the section using the zipper or cording foot and they were fighting me & slipping off the feed dogs. I’ve done this before & not had as much wrangling. Just one of those things I guess! If the Center Section becomes a pain – I have Plan B in mind already. Let’s just see how things go.

The rays look good on the angled piece. I hope you get your issue with the centre piece sorted out without too much difficulty.
