It's a good thing we did not plan a cookout for Memorial Day. It rained, off and on, all day.
I spent the day working on the wedding quilt.
Job #1 was to sew the two halves together. I'd already sewn the backing seam, trimmed the overlapping batting, and glued the top seam in place. All that was left of the joining process was to run that top seam through the sewing machine, which would, in theory, also serve as the final quilting line.
It was hard. The quilting line came out crooked as a snake. Worse, the needle didn't catch both seam allowances in some places. It just wouldn't do. I spent most of the day picking out the machine stitching and re-sewing the seam by hand. This morning, there's about a foot left to stitch.
While I had the quilt laid out on the worktable, I realized that the quilting lines on one half of the quilt go north and south, and those on the other half go east and west. How I managed this feat of idiocy is a mystery.
There is no way I'm picking it out.
There's also no way I'm adding more machine quilting to make the two sides match.
It is what it is.
