I’m really enjoying the eye candy!

Still working on microquilting the center part- haven’t even thought about what to do with the borders. It’s going much more slowly than usual since my two main quilting machines (the Sweet 16 and the PQ1500s) don’t like using the 100wt on spools. They do fine with it on cones, but something about the spools causes frequent breakage and tension problems. Unfortunately, I’ve only got the colors I want to use for this quilt on spools. Anyway, instead Of having those nice big throat spaces I’m shoving the quilt through the 7” harp space in my PC420 which is perfectly happy to quilt with it on spools- still get some breakage due to design of spool I think, but not near so much as with the bigger machines. I’ve gotten spoiled by the visibility of the higher shank on the PQ and the Sweet16. Took lots of breaks yesterday and worked on my scrap bucket so that’s getting under control.
