I haven't check in for a while but I am here lurking and quilting. I think I mentioned a while back about hand quilting a special piece for a nephew and his bride. I hand pieced the rest of the needed blocks for the top. A new skill for me but went well. I battled layering it, got it done. Found the spray baste is not a good idea for hand quilting. Took the sandwich apart. Washed the back, new batting, swished the top about in warm water in my bath tub. Used the dryer on the back and pressed. Let the top air dry and pressed. Then a took all ta friend with a long arm and she/we basted it on the LA. Tonight I am back to hand quilting and it is going well. It must be done by the end of January, but with holidays and the end of a university semester and the beginning of another, it will demand that I quilt daily and not be lazy!. I'll post a photo when I get more quilting done.

Keep up your good work on clearing out your UFO's I am enjoying your posts.
