Well, I dropped off a quilt to be long arm quilted. This is the first time I have sent out a top to be professionally quilted. I'm a hand-quilter at heart, but I am so very slow that I have actually had tops destroyed before I finished quilting them (there was a mouse and dog who resented it.....)
I've decided to keep the hand quilting for 'special' tops. And to learn to machine quilt on a domestic machine - maybe the treadle. But in the mean time, these two tops are finished and together will make a lovely quilt that will be reversible and it will be on my bed!
Finished is better than perfect. Right?
Here's a look at the last seam on the back side quilt 'in progress'. Both tops pieced on my 1949 Featherweight. Started cutting 1/4/2017, finished piecing 11/4/2017. This project is only on the UFO list because the 9-patch centers of the stars on the front side are from block exchanges in the 1990s on the AOL quilter's board.
