eo-4 Sagebrush Perspective - Quilting

The quilting design for the Sagebrush Perspective quilt is pretty straightforward. First, the plan is to 'stitch in the ditch' along the seam between each row in one continuous pattern. Usually when I do this, I end up with distortion in the back fabric as the layers seem to slip slightly along the direction of stitching. However, with the white border, I did not want to have a bunch of lines in and out of the quilt at each row.

Around the border, I wanted to use a circular pattern. I found a bowl - 5" diameter - and traced it in a side-by-side pattern. The tracing was completed with a marker that will fade with time and/or heat.

After completing the quilting, I trimmed the sides.
