Are you ready to add more color to our Argyle bag?
Here's how we left it
last week:

It's time to fill in the rest of the diamonds, half-diamonds, and quarter-diamonds.
Details:
Top Thread:
Konfetti from WonderFil (50 weight cotton)
Bobbin Thread:
InvisiFil from WonderFil
Needle size: 16
Stitches per inch: 20, since I'm going to make tiny curves
I put on my micro-handles to make the tiny stitching easier:

I also put on my Ruler Base. I like to drag my fingers while I quilt. I feel like I have more control that way.

I chose white thread for top and bobbin, tested my tension, and then quilted little pebbles to fill in the unquilted areas:

Pebbling is a slow process, and it uses a lot of thread. I sit down at my machine when I pebble, and I set an alarm so I will stop every ten minutes to stretch and rest my eyes.
This is really starting to look like something!
