5 more neon.

2.16.2012

I'm finally quilting this neon quilt that I had finished last summer.  It's been basted and folded, piled in the corner the entire winter because I wasn't sure how to quilt it.  Honestly I'm still not sure how I'm going to quilt it other than echo quilting the chevron!  I'll figure it out as I go.
I often don't have a solid quilting plan when I begin, just kind of go about it until I think it looks okay.  If I hate it, I rip it out (but I try to decide that early on of course to avoid spending too much time with the seam ripper).
I'm not really a fan of marking my quilting pattern on the quilt, I'd much rather freehand!  Although that's kind of difficult if you're straight line quilting without following any lines...so I might have to mark this one somehow.  We'll see.
I'm still not sure where this one is headed when I finish it, maybe to my shop?
