When Leah Day announced her next Block Party will be about Walking Foot Quilting, I couldn't resist but participated in at least one quilt from her book.
This was my first selection of fabrics only from my stash.
Even if this was nice, I wasn't completely satisfied and the end I purchased fabrics of red and green., The Batik I purchased, blended better with my stash.
Here I've baste-sprayed my entire quilt, then stitched in the ditch with the walking foot. A foot I rarely used, if even! But doing it this way was an eye-opener for me. With my bigger quilts, I could stitch in the ditch, before free-motion quilter or walking foot quilting.
This was my first quilt with following a masking tape. So easy!
The masking tapes was removed after each line was completed done.
This was my first attempt to quilt an entire quilt with a walking foot. I'm sure to use this masking-tape technique with my walking foot more often now that I've learned it so well.
