Beautiful Irish chain quilts, ladies!

I've been concentrating on finishing a binding, and should have a finish in July.

After hemming and hawing for three years, I finally have a new sewing machine. I was used to a mechanical machine, but all of the mechanical machines they make now have the lower side bobbin, which I couldn't insert or remove with my RA fingers. So I chose a computerized Juki with a drop-in bobbin; it should help me be a faster piecer. I did love my old Singer, but it couldn't handle thick seams, so I spent a lot of time trying to push things under the presser foot, and had to do lots of re-stitching.
