Well it's coming along. Got one more row quilted, so that is now 10 of the 25 blocks. I am hoping the next three rows get will go a bit faster since I know what I'm doing. Today the tension decided to give me fits. And so there was a bit of unsewing to go along with the sewing. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

I love all of the pictures. Judy I love the Pandas. Is that a pattern or your own design?
I was given a longarm. Hardly used. It is nothing fancy, but it is something I never dreamed I would own. I plan on spending Monday trying to figure out how to use it. It came without any instructions. I have watched several videos in youtube and think I know what I am doing. My biggest issue is how to load a quilt. I have several videos pinned to watch as I am playing with it. I have some fabric to ply on. I also have 2 ugly quilts for more practice.

cute quilts!!! giquilts - i love the block w/ the red polka dots!!
I'm finishing up a Grandmothers Flower Garden for a lady. Her mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, someone, had started the quilt, then passed away before finishing it. I just have a little bit more of the border to do.
The quilt itself isn't that old from looking at the fabrics. I love the border design the woman drew. It is flowers and viney leaves that just wind their way around the border.

Nice job on the quilting, Becca!
Here's what I've been working on. It's a baby quilt, currently it measures about 50" square. I'm thinking of removing the outer pinkish-purple sections on the right side and bottom and also the white that's next to it on the side and bottom. That will make it 40" square. Part of why I'm thinking of doing this is that I'm not thrilled with the pinkish purple sections, but also I'm wondering if a 50" square quilt is too large to be useful as a baby quilt. What do ya'll think?
Either way, I plan on getting it sandwiched this afternoon and quilted this evening or tomorrow morning.

Judy, I love the clamshell pandas! Is that a pattern or your own design?
Rob, to me the pinky-purple fabrics (maybe the floral in particular) are less clean and modern than the other colors. I don't know if the 50" is too big, but if it is 40" you can use a single piece of yardage for the back.
I'm making good progress on my curved log cabin blocks and might, maybe, get all the blocks done today. Definitely by Monday if things continue at this pace!
