Kind of a disappointing end to my latest quilt. I had to resort to hand quilting it because after struggling through a multitude of settings with three different walking feet on two different machines I couldn't get it to stop bunching up after behaving nicely for long stretches. And then there was the random thread breaking. Second image shows the look I was going for on my test piece, though with not as many lines. #quilting #sewing #menwhoquilt #mensewtoo #bleh

Nine thrifted shirts and a technique I made up myself (but probably isn’t original) and I’m almost finished with this piece I’m calling “Storm at Oxford.” It’s machine pieced and big stitch hand quilted with variegated #8 perle cotton and measures 42”x48” (107x122cm.)
