I have 2 huge quilt orders that have to get out and my daughter and I spent the entire day working on those.Love the Broken star.

It helps me to loosen the tension a little and use a slightly longer stitch length for this sort of thing.<br /><br /><br />PS to Sue: Pin on the ironing board, pin when you are sewing, pin, pin, pin ... or not and spend half the day frogging with bias edges which will not forgive you.....BilboWagginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913801147278606148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542748653129887132.post-68022384291791457202012-02-04T14:58:08.486-05:002012-02-04T14:58:08.486-05:00Thank you for the photo!

Even at just 12" squares, it's easily 96" square before you reach the yellow, certainly a nice size bed quilt when you're done. :-)<br /><br />Sorry about your head cold, we all have days like that, and this odd winter sure isn't helping.Sand and Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430185128657151447noreply@blogger.com
