There were several times that I thought it looked terrible as I was quilting, but once you take a larger look at it, it looks great! I did have a wrinkle problem though, and the backing flannel seems to be discolored around the seam. Of course, I didn't notice that until the cross was all quilted...I think that I'm just going to leave it though.
And a close up...
(I know, terrible pictures. But the children slept in so I had some time in the pre-dawn to take pictures. Some pictures are better than no pictures.)
Now onto Metro Lattice...it came together so quickly that I don't have any backing, so today's errand is to go get that!
Joining the party at WIP Wednesday
update:a few people have asked if I'm doing more quilting and the answer is yes! Next I'm doing some straight lines out from the center, but decided it would be easiest to do with the walking foot, so I took it off the mid-arm frame.
Good job on your wood grain quilting!
