The on-going saga of FMQing my Expanding Possibilities quilt. Are you getting tired of seeing the same quilt, week after week?? I'm getting tired of stitching the same quilt week after week. I'm on my third spool of Isacord thread, they're a thousand meters each. That's 2.5 kilometers or about 1.5 miles of thread! The quilt is only about 52"x 72", that's a lot of thread! But the good news is that I now can see the end, although it's been a great quilt to practice on for my Leah Day homework.

I practiced some swirls in a row as part of my November SoCalGal FMQ Challenge and some fun bouncy paisley, just 'cause!
Maybe next week I'll have this quilt completed and you can start looking at a whole new quilt!
I did actually start and finish a little project this week,
a pillow for my grandson's birthday.

I gave this to him on Sunday and he carried it around everywhere! I feel great that he liked it. It sure made this gramma feel good!

Your quilt is looking great! I love the variety of stitching designs in it.
ReplyDeletePS - I got an envelope in the mail yesterday. Thanks!
Wow Pat! The amount of quilting really becomes impressive when you put it in km/miles! It's looking great, and I love the use of matrix over the 'v' diagonals.
ReplyDeleteYes counting the amount of thread staggers me. It sure is stunning though.
ReplyDeleteIt is stunning, definitely not tired of seeing it! I love that bouncy paisley quilting, so pretty! I look forward to seeing the finished quilt, with all two miles of quilting!!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilting, the red thread is very interesting.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful and no, I am not tired for seeing it. To the contrary, I love seeing the progress. Your pillows are really cute too!
