Finish Something February!

How can it be February already??!! I didn't finish anything in January, even though I was a quilting fool! I guess I can say that I have done my FMQ QAL homework every week and I'm current on my QAYGFMQQAL. I may not have actually finished a quilt this month, but I came close with my latest project for Leah Day's QAL Wednesday. This week we were to practice stitching on a line. I knew immediately what project I could do.  So I made a baby quilt from a panel that I had had for a while.

Lots of lines to quilt!

I used light blue thread to quilt the center of the panel

I switched to yellow thread and filled in the yellow triangles and left the rest of the triangles open. I plan on quilting around the umbrellas

 I'm pleased with my progress this week. Although I'm using Isacord thread this week, I have implemented Leah Day's suggestion to use a spool stand. Not only did it work to eliminate the Aurifil thread breaking, it helped with the tension on the Isacord. I don't have any questions this week for Leah, just a huge thank you for last week's answer to my thread problem.

Since today is February 1st, it means Fresh Sewing Day! So here's a recap of January! (Lots of FMQ)
