Tonight I finished stitching the my in-Patriotic Log Cabin. I need to work on making sure I am stitching straight. This quilt top reveals when you wander along instead of stitching perfectly straight. That's what I'm going to concentrate on this weekend as I stitch the next project. I'm not sure whether I'm going too fast or not feeding the fabric properly. Practice makes perfect so I'll just keep on practicing!
Stitching straight is not always easy. I took Ms. Harriet's suggestion and after I found the "true" 1/4" seam allowance on my machine, I am using the guide attachment. I installed it so that the fabric runs along it's side when I sew before hitting the 1/4" foot. My seams are straight and everything started lining up better. If you would like to take a look at where I am in the process here is my blog address - http://quiltinqueenbug.blogspot.com/
