My Week

I unearthed this work in progressed and have now been quilting it, for a week.  Now that I've seen the beauty of dense quilting, I'm finding it hard to do anything else, and on a large lap quilt it takes time.  I think it will be worth it though.

I was somewhat disappointed with this quilt top, back in September 2011 because my inattention to value made the overall design less obvious.  The rectangles don't all form clear pinwheels.  I am attempting to remedy the problem by quilting the yellow and gray pinwheels with a different design.  I chose two designs from Angela's book: paisley and chain squares (although mine are rectangles).

Wrangling a big quilt through my little machine makes for some wobbly free motion quilting, but I think I'm going to love it, especially after it is washed.  And it's definitely better than leaving the top hanging in the closet any longer.
