I'm having a lot of fun working with all these solids!
I've also been doing some triple-stitching of sketches I made, so they look similar to hand embroidery or redwork. I haven't heard back from the magazine editor yet if I can show you my progress on that quilt or not, so for now I"ll go back to the post so you can see the technique. I'm not sure there's a name for it. I just came up with it because I was procrastinating doing hand embroidery. It isn't exactly machine embroidery. Nothing is pre-programed and I don't own an embroidery machine. I just outline the sketch lines I drew with a triple stitch, VERY SLOWLY, pivoting after ever stitch. Hand stitching would be quicker, though I do like and trust the look of this. By the way, I'm much better at it now than I was when I made this post. Enjoy!
nearly there...
THREE!

Enjoy your solids. I love solids and find that my eye is always attracted to quilts made with solids when I attend quilt shows.
Sounds like you are still up to a lot of good things! Were you able to resolve the picture capacity issue on your blog? Only a few more days to go!
