Gah. Am so frustrating. This quilt has been in the naughty corner for the last couple of weeks as I could see the issue starting but didn’t want to admit it. Worked on it some more today and give up.

I pin baste, no glue. This was fully basted and was lovely and square (I have a big table at work that I can spread out on). Due to size and being on a domestic machine I have been quilting in lines from the middle out but one side at a time. Because I am using a thick batting the backing has started to move and bunch up on me. The quilt top seems to be skewing as well as in one corner I now don’t have enough backing to cover.

I still like the idea of concentric squares. Should I sew the East/west sides first and then do North/South? Rather than going clockwise? Normally when I quilt I do parallel lines on the diagonal.

As this constructed completely of HST could the bias still be affecting this or should that be a moot point at this stage?

Did anyone see an incident on the motorway today Northwest bound between Te Atatū and Lincoln Rd this afternoon at about 3pm? Between a VW(maybe?) green wagon and a silver/grey MR2 (old body shape)

Has been reported to police already but would love if anyone had any footage or plate for the green car.

Green car hooned up at pace behind my son. He reacted by honking once. (Classic car so bit wary of poor driving around it). Green car then went off and started acting like a mad man. Ended up stopping in a live lane just after Lincoln Rd, jumped out of his car and punched my son in the face through the open window. Traffic was stop start at that point.

Lessons have been learned. No major injury. But would really like some other video evidence if the cops don’t get anything off the motorway cameras.
