Just the four corners to finish up. I spent a bunch of time looking at the book and the videos, then used tape to mark half of the lines for the first corner.
I decided to make the outside lines so they started half an inch from the inside of the last border, then I marked every two inches. Then I put the tape down.
If I had done Leah's quilt then I would be using the seams as the starting point for the spokes, but my seams are not square it seems, so marking the line is what I ended up needing to do!
My corners were not square for that last border, so I put tape to mark a square place to be the exit point for all the spokes.
To avoid having to tie off the thread I will sew thru the tape after hitting the exit point. I saw a video where someone used tape that washed away, I will be on the look out for that the next time I go to a quilt store.
Including marking time it took 25 minutes to do these first two spokes. Then I decided it would be easier to do when it was daytime and there was more light - and little Buffy wanted me to go to bed anyway...
============
The next morning:
It took 13 minutes to do the next two lines.
Well, I'm sort of on the home stretch, but there is a lot more work to do before I'm finished.....
Decided to add this as part of Part 15...
Oops I should have left the masking tape in the corner, but at least know now it will release when I'm done...
