It's time to share your Merry & Bright quilts!!
So many exciting tops, and a few finished quilts, have shown up since last week.
First a true confession, because I'm a real person just like you, I have a seriously long date with Jack on this quilt top.
I will do another post to share about that, it was EPIC, believe me, I'm glad I fixed it.

This quilt is not too big to quilt yourself. Here are some tips on how to approach it
- First quilt top to bottom between the blocks for all the blocks, and inside the inner border. This locks the quilt in a grid and makes it shift less
- I love accenting the chain, so quilt corner to corner for the chain.
Next is Quilting the blocks, they are too big to leave un-quilted. You can approach this as freemotion quilting or just use your walking foot like I have in my book. You have to turn it more with your walking foot but it's doable.
- Take it one block at a time. I like to ouline features like stars, the wreath, block units
- Then do a bit of freemotion in the background
- OR do echo outlines around the first outlines with your walking foot.
