Argyle Bag Quilting Tutorial, part 2

I've waited all week to work on this bag!

Bobbin Thread: InvisiFil from WonderFil
Needle Size: 16
Stitches per inch: 20, since I am going to make small curves.

After testing my tension, I was ready to add color to my bag. I chose Sea Blue because it looks like Tiffanys!

I worked a small meander in the ten diamonds:



Can you start to see how this will turn into Argyle?

Tune in next Wednesday for the next step!

What a great idea. I think I'll try something like this - for next Christmas - not enough time for this year. Thanks,
