Today started at a very chilly minus 5 Celsius, but once the sun was up, although it's still pretty cool outside, it was shining into my quilting room and warmed it up. I was ready for it. Yesterday I had loaded a backing fabric and batting on to my frame. This morning I added the op shop top to the sandwich.
I had finished piecing the top in December last year. The eight and a half blocks, the sashing and the backing for this one all came from the same op shop.
The extra wide backing waited for me, for quite a while. It is white with blue and brown spots.

I had prepared another edge to edge quilting design and had it all set on the frame ready to begin.
Warmed by the morning sun I made a start.
I quilted until I ran out of bobbins.
Soon after that, the sun was gone from the room and it was cooling down again.
Hopefully I'll get it completed tomorrow.

Good to get a start on the quilting in the sunshine. xx
That’s a lovely quilting design. A few bobbins at a time will do it.
You've made great progress. That's a fantastic quilt design and it's looking great.
It is looking beautiful. What sort of long arm machine do you have? Do you enjoy using it? Christine xx
Nice! Minus 5 is a wee bit chilly....
Looking good. It sounds like you are working out those pantos.
I like the leaf pattern - its perfect for that op shop top ( you need to say hat 3 times fast.... haha)
Oooh, that's a cold temperature to start the day! Lucky the sun makes an appearance in your sewing room to warm things up.
It looks amazing!
