\"Double-Pointed<\/a>In my previous post I showed you the beginnings of a new quilt, which is now finished. I’ve had a lot of fun with this one, but I’ve also had a serious problem, caused entirely by user error. \ud83d\ude09 The pattern was designed by Susan Cleveland, and it went together just beautifully. The problem arose when I carelessly read a number on my Bernina 780; my presser-foot pressure was reading 14, rather than the necessary -14 I use for ruler work; that’s a negative<\/em> number! These numbers are arbitrary, of course, and change from one machine and one brand to the next, but I was having all sorts of problems shoving the quilt through the machine until I realized what I’d done. LOL!<\/p>\n

\"Double-Pointed<\/a>The quilting on this piece was quite simple\u00a0\u2014\u00a0just straight lines in the linen background fabrics. I did\u00a0two diagonally-adjacent\u00a0quarter sections in vertical lines and the opposite sections in horizontal lines. I didn’t want to do anything fancier here, as it would have been lost on the busy background; besides, the Dresden plates are the real focal point of the quilt. These were appliqu\u00e9d onto the background by stitching in the ditch between each pair of wedges\u00a0\u2014\u00a0very simple. The points at each end of each wedge aren’t attached at all and give a bit of dimension to the quilt. I had a few of those wedges left over after making the quilt top, so I used some of them in the label. \u00a0Naturally, I used the narrow corded piping I like so much, as well as a pieced binding. The finished quilt measures approximately 26.5″ x 24″.<\/p>\n
