I plan on using different thread next time. I've always used Gutterman thread, but I think I'm trying something different. I'm hoping that will solve my issues because I know it's not my machine. I've been doing little projects in between quilting this one to keep my sanity.
Now it's on to the binding and creating a label. :)
I also added a floating, pieced border to the top and bottom of the bright quilt that's still nameless. I think it's helping with the dimensions. Before it was too stubby and needed to be a little bit longer to make the proportions work.
I still need to add the orange swirl fabric on top of the floating squares to finish the top and bottom borders. To finish it off, I'm going to put probably a 5 inch strip of the orange swirl fabric to the sides.
You did a fantastic job quilting your box of roses quilt! Doesn't it feel good to have that part complete. I am absolutely loving your nameless quilt. Must be the bright, cheerful colors.
