Latte Quilt - I think I'm way over my head!

C&S · 2006-10-02T13:10:35+00:00

Is anyone from the group doing the Latte quilt? I decided to take thecourse at my Bernina Dealer in order to learn more about my machine (we meetonce a month). What a difficult and time consuming quilt it is.This hooping and re-hooping business is not as easy as it looks (it takes meforever to remotly get it to be somewhat centered). Anyone have tips orknow of an internet site that might offer some help. I am just about togive up and this is really only my first attempt and first block. I'm alsohaving such a difficult time with the embroidery stitch on the last curveand I can't figure out why the last one. I can't seem to get it right (I'vetaken it apart at least 5 times). The book is not forthcoming with tipseither. Here's the not as of yet completed block that is causing myhair to turn gray.

My blocks looked a little puckered and stretched, too, but after the quilting it doesn't show so much. I used three layers of poly mesh stabilizer on mine. I cut away as much as I could before having it quilted. Your block is beautiful--I love blue! My colors evolved from the border I used--I love pansies and when I saw the fabric I had to have it!!!
