Saw Tooth Star Progress
Just when I thought I had my design decisions made and I was ready for that delightful phase of feathering up the surface of the quilt, I decided I didn’t like my thread choice after all. Look:I love Aurifil 28 wt cotton thread, but I think in this case it gives the motif a “ghosty” […]
Saw Tooth Star-Lessons Learned
