Oh my goodness this is really nice. You will have a beautiful quilt soon. You are doing something that is hard to me that is knowing where something comes together and the lining it up to get there.

Thank you very much for sharing. You are an inspiration and your pictures give us a real idea of how it is done. I haven't tried anything like it yet but possibly will now.

Looks like you have to be so precise on measuring. Is this like lining up a split design?

Actually, this is perfection in my book! In looking at your photos, it appears that the second hooping may be off by 1/8 of an inch...or less! So what? That's going to be pretty hard to correct for if you are using a home machine. What is this "plastic thingy" that you are using? Is it a centering tool?
I do have a question about the design you are stitching. I notice that there is a line making a box around each quarter part of the design. I assume that that is a basting stitch? It just looks too dense to be basting. I don't normally see those lines in that design on quilts. I bet if you removed them and your marking lines, you'd see this in a different light. Of course, if you are just using this for practice, you could get a box of those crayons and start coloring too...! Yes, I am a quilter at heart and have learned a lot about problem solving over the years. I enjoy and mostly do hand quilting. I don't think there is any such thing as an ugly bride, baby, or quilt!
