Quilted -

 

 

My Upstairs/Downstairs - Marigold is quilted - 

 

YAY!! - 

 

 

It might be my imagination - 

But it seems to me that it takes me longer to prep the backing - 

 

Cut the batting - and load it - 

Than it does to actually quilt it - 

And I'm SO glad that I changed the top thread to ORANGE - 

 

It blends in SO much better than the BROWN - 

 

I quilted it with the same 3 lines per block grid - 

 

Changing direction - horizontal/vertical - with each block - 

 

And some lines are more "organic" than others - 

 

Proving that it was quilted by a "people" - not a computer - 

 

 

Now I have to remove the zippers -

 

Trim it - 

 

Cut and make the binding from the trimmings - 

 

Bind and label it - 

 

And load the next one - 

 

Not necessarily in that order - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
