I started the quilting on my Feb UFO ( Sister's Choice) yesterday - got about 1/3 done by last night. This afternoon, I spent close to five hours working on it and was able to finish the body, which means I only have the borders to quilt - hopefully tomorrow but might be the day after since hubby has ANOTHER dr appt and then we need to stop and get a few groceries on the way home.
I really like the pattern that I ended up with... half circle with feather inside/underneath. It's not one I saw someone else do; the one I saw was an arc/half circle with a circle inside a loop underneath... I played with that and then realized that it didn't HAVE to be a loop with a circle and I played around a little bit more and came up with the traditional feather pattern. Quite proud of myself. Now, if I could just figure out what to do in the borders. I'm thinking half circles - maybe different sizes so that when I come to a corner, I won't go "Oh crap! This isn't going to fit!!".
I made a quick stop at The Hen House before guild meeting tonight and bought black fabric for backing for the orange & black quilt that's going on the frame next. It's not on my UFO list but probably should have been.
This weekend, I plan on getting caught up on my BOM's since I know there are two more on their way here via USPS. I need to catch up so I don't get too far behind.
Guess that's it for tonight...
