#6 quilted......

I'm choosing all of the easy quilts to finish first.  By the time I finish them I will have had enough practice to do some more detailed quilting.  This quilt was made with 3" strips of fabric and measures approximately 76 x 102" after quilting.
I used a floral on the back too, one that I got on sale.  I think the binding will be green since the spacer squares and backing are both green.  This is quilt #6 this week.  I know I won't keep up this pace but it has been fun.
The red Christmas cactus is in full bloom now.  It has a lot of buds so I hope it blooms for quite awhile.

You have been really busy this week with quilting but isn't it nice getting the tops made into quilts! So pretty and inspiring!

I am so impressed! I've had a pretty productive week, but nothing like what you have accomplished!

that's really nice getting quilt tops finished isn't it. You are emptying out the closet - making room for more!

By the time you're done I might have enough confidence and practice to quilt a real quilt instead of yards of muslin!

I remember this strip quilt with the green spacers and loved it. Nice ribbon quilting pattern. Loved watching your play with strips and all your strip quilt variations as I love strip quilts. Your play helped me see more possibilities with my quilts.
Awesome Christmas blooms and buds.
Happy to hear about Father's big 98 :D

I know absolutely nothing about working a Long Arm.... When you are quilting on it, is it all free motion or can you set up a certain pattern on the computer and just walk away ?

Did I make you laugh ? I really don't know, but listening to those that do have them I just assumed it was all computerized.

No matter what, that is a terrific amount to accomplish this week with all your other commitments you have had.
