This is my 660th post! Wonder if I can make 1,000 someday! LOL Things are moving right along in getting the finishing the huge backlog of quilts quilted, Today I finished quilting a BOM that I made in 2013!
I used a backing fabric that has a very pretty swirling pattern and compliments the quilt. I also decided to do larger meandering rather than the smaller meandering I had been doing on the other quilts. I do free motion quilting on my HQ16, which is not computer driven. She is now 18 years old and with Clays assistance she runs better than when I purchased her! Now as the Operator if I would quilt forgetting things I should before quilting a quiltā¦ā¦.The mistake I made on this one – I did not run a stay stitch on the border and I had a small issue while quilting. I do wish I would have done the smaller meandering, but the quilt is quilted and I am happy!
Tomorrow I will do the binding and load the next quilt for quilting on Monday. Not sure which one it will be!
Have a great Sunday and do some Slow Sunday Stitching !
Hugs, Nanette

I am working on R&G Easy Peasy today along with getting the binding on the BOM I finished yesterday! Had to let the back rest today from quilting, but tomorrow there will be one on the long arm loaded when I get in the Studio!

Your meander size looks great, Nanette! And from now on you’ll remember that basting stitch down the sides.

I could have slapped myself. Most of the quilts had one. Looks like I have 4 that will need the stitching… good thing to do today along with sewing the binding on the BOM! Hopefully time to load a quilt for tomorrow. Giving my back a rest every other day. Hugs

This was not an important quilt, but one of the 4 larger quilts. I tried the larger meandering – but the other 5 will be done with the smaller size. Hugs

Loved the Chief’s winning, now if the Cowboys will do the same. I think the Bills will win and the game last night was boring. But happy for the Eagles – not sure if Cowboys can beat them….. Hugs.
That was a BOM from 2013.

Sometimes larger meandering is called for to get the quilt done! I think it looks great on this quilt with the big blocks.
