Quilting - Week 3 Wings of eagles

This week we take on the third row of our quilt, the Scrappy Squares.

Once again, don't forget to 'quilting in the ditch' of your whole quilt before you start adding in the details. This will keep everything nice and straight.

If your going to use the 'Quilt as you go' technique, you can just ditch stitch each row as you come to it.

Without further ado, sit back and relax while Heather gives us the low down on this weeks row.

We would love to see your progress pictures and Heather and I are ready and waiting to give you advise over on the Facebook group, so share your pictures with us for some really good advice and encouragement!

Quilting row 1:

1. If you haven't already, Stitch in the ditch around all the blocks.

2. Heather recommends stitching all the blocks that are closest in colour to your variegated thread first. Finish with the blocks where the thread will stand out the most. So this week complete each block individually rather than working across the rows.

Heather used a varigated thread for the inside portion of the block and a matching thread for the border.
