Hooked on Quilting

Look better?  Whew!!! TR-1 finished...again.

Well, that looks more like the triangles are supposed to!! This is TR-2, Australian Pines. Doesn't totally line up with the stripes, but I'm calling this one done. Now, back to re-do TR-1 and I will remember to check my settings for each block/triangle from now on.

May is flowers, imagine that???? LOL These wall hangings are from Calendar Quilts by Kim Schaefer. These are supposed to be fusible and machine appliqued, but I just don't do it well enough so I'm doing them needleturn to get better and something to do while watching TV at night.
