Last night on the way to the guild meeting, I did stop at the LQS and purchased quilt batting... not exactly what I was looking for, but it will do. I wanted a blend of 80/20, what she had was 100% cotton. I also found some blue fabric that I really liked back in the sale ($6.yd) section so bought 4 1/2 yds for the next BB quilt.
Loaded the batting and top onto Mo'e... played with the tension and off I went. By dinner time I had two rows of six blocks each completed. And like I had a feeling was going to happen, I'm custom quilting instead of doing an all over edge to edge.
I wasn't sure I was going to like the dark brown thread on the lighter fabrics in the top, but I think they're looking ok. Love it with the brown fabrics - my little OOPS here and there are not as noticeable. There's going to be plenty of texture in this quilt.
showing texture in first row... hard to see but I'm doing wishbones in the sashing and border.
Ok, it's after 8 and I'm beat!...
I'm heading for bed and to watch Cool Kids...
take care...
