I think I am homing in on diagonals in the main center section and lines parallel to the candy stripe in the inner and outer border both – not as fussy and fewer directional changes. I layered it yesterday and I am about to spray baste it today.DianeLoves2Quilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12704655734477952685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828752146646515017.post-48775852913055391382014-08-19T09:53:10.990-07:002014-08-19T09:53:10.990-07:00Thank you for your words of encouragement.

This was a case of making lemonade out of lemons. Though those anchors could not have been too sour or I wouldn't have bought them in the first place, right? Thank you for your visit and comment.

I caution that your final FMQ option for the border (lines that are parallel to the edges and dependent on the location of the boats) may end badly if the fabric wasn't printed straight, but I love the diagonal straight lines around the boats, and both the diagonal and the perpendicular-to-the-edge straight line quilting you've outlined.RobinLovesQuiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10916564818055052041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828752146646515017.post-16198730353327429792014-08-14T12:48:35.949-07:002014-08-14T12:48:35.949-07:00Nice fabrics and pattern.
