She never does the grid fully. If she wants a 1/4 inch grid she first does the inch lines, quilt them. Then draw the half inch line, quilt them. And then draw the 1/4 inch line. That way any inconsistency can't be a big thing. But if you draw the grid at once and then quilt it, the quilting influences the distance of the lines next to it. And that might differ. Even if you draw the lines as even as possible.<br /><br />Hope that helps!Annemart Berendsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15744972188405035166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2955311616182275105.post-26784469363093580552012-07-26T16:43:08.472+10:002012-07-26T16:43:08.472+10:00Maestro Janet! your quilt is looking amazing,........Maestro Janet! your quilt is looking amazing,........ and thankyou for the links.... that long gone quiltmaker had the tiniest of applique stitches...it was lovely to see this old quilt up so close.Salleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573971147087926800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2955311616182275105.post-9123123576100019592012-07-26T12:18:02.744+10:002012-07-26T12:18:02.744+10:00This quilt is going to be spectacular!This quilt is going to be spectacular!Carla A Few Of My Favorite Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782840958923418159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2955311616182275105.post-71184156317672334022012-07-26T05:48:05.783+10:002012-07-26T05:48:05.783+10:00absolutely beautiful!
