E2E? Ummm...No!

A particular customer came recently to drop off a few more tops she'd been working on during our little "shut in" situation. We talked for over and hour and nearly none of it was about what I was going to put into her tops; because she said to just edge-to-edge (E2E) them.

This means, the same motif throughout using only one thread color, and, either letting the computer do the work, or, I can choose to drive the machine.

The first top was driven by the Pro Stitcher attached to my machine...i.e...the computer.
The third top today will also be done with the Pro Stitcher.

Both of the tops being computerized were the same blocks throughout the quilt and had no linear design. Therefore, I feel like E2E is best for them. They have a variety of colors, they have a similar flavor throughout the top, and they have a consistency in the piecing.

The second top did not. It was clearly designed by the blocks. There were two thread changes needed to quilt it, I felt like the customer had put a little more time into building this top, and thought the quilting needed as much care.

Here are a few pics of the customization I put into the blocks.

Not Edge to Edge Quilting

This looks much better than edge-to-edge.

A returning customer is coming today to drop off a few tops and received a new customer art piece on Friday. With all the stay at home rules the tops sure are pouring out of those sewing machines!
