Halfway Through Quilting
I just love these "in progress" photos, and it is also a great excuse to take a quick break from the machine. I am doing a simple diagonal quilt, which apparently isn't as easy as it looks. I am now eye-balling the lines which is accurate enough for my liking.
I started off with the blue painters tape as we had some in the shed left over from renovations and I have read it is a good way to aid sewing nice straight lines. However after laying it out and sticking on a couple of guide lines I was already tired of that method. To be honest I wasn't any more accurate with the tape either.
Have you quilted diagonally across squares like this? How did you obtain nice straight lines?

I mark the center of the square and then sew from corner to corner.....not always straight..but, it works for me!!
