I'm finally quilting 1 of 9 quilts needed by the end of May. Yes, I know I've been procrastinating. Haven't used the quilt machine all winter except for a training session with a friend from MO. It had been so long since I really quilted that I was a little afraid to try. Its even computerized and still I hesitated. Finally got the 1st quilt loaded Thursday afternoon but then went out to start cleaning out the gardens instead. Finally started quilting late yesterday afternoon and now I feel better.

Also have the next quilt project laying on the cutting table. Have wanted to make a french braid for my bedroom but couldn't decide which version. Here's a pic of the one I'll be doing in colors from dark rust (orangy) to yellow/gold with accents of dark green for the coins and center of separator strip with dark grey for the outer color of the separator strip. Wanted to throw in grey somewhere as it goes so well with so many colors these days. I'll have to make the borders wider to fit my full size bed but that's okay.

The quilt I've got on the frame right now is a Bonnie Hunter's Bricks & Stones. Made a larger one for a friend who is a farmer so used veggie/fruits along with the colors you see in this quilt I made with the leftovers. I'm using Smoke Grey to quilt it and I'm liking it.
