I've pieced the top for my next large quilt project out of scrap linen. Tonight I plan to batt, back and pin the quilt so I can get on with the quilting.
I had this bag of scraps leftover from piecing the top, so I made most of them into two panels on which to practice my embroidery stitching.
Linen is excellent fabric to embroider, as it has a looser weave and more flexibility than quilting cotton. It's not necessarily easier, hence the practice pieces.
I feel I'm fully prepared to tackle a larger version now, which was the point. Stay tuned to see what happens.
