Quilts #10 and #11 quilted!!

Last night, I knew that I wanted to get something else quilted, but I wasn't sure that I wanted to spend a lot of time in the basement. I have some other things around the house that I need to get done, but I really didn't want to start on something else.

I ended up pressing and prepping Jen's table runner and then thinking about how I wanted to quilt it. There is a flange on both ends and that kept me from trying out a new panto. I ended up quilting it with big circles. I used the same soft white So Fine in the top and a light gray Bottom Line in the bobbin.

I am in a challenge group to finish UFOs and my name is almost at the top of the list so I had to throw one of my quilts in so that I can have a finish relatively soon. I quilted the 2010 SIS quilt. I changed out the top thread to a light tan So Fine and used the same light gray Bottom Line in the bobbin.

And I just did a simple stipple. I was going to quilt just until I ran out of bobbin thread, but I never ran out of bobbin thread and there were no thread breaks so I got the quilt finished!

I really like this backing fabric!

About the time that I finished the SIS quilt, Max visited to tell me that was enough quilting and it was time for bed.

How are you getting these done so fast?!?!? How long does it take you to load a quilt? Are you floating the top?

thea said...

Wow! You are certainly pumping them out. I'm guessing the new machine is working well.
