For those long straightaways, like borders or strip piecing, the fast speed is awesome!

SBG, your colors look better than in the previous pictures posted.
Jeanie, I'm with you, cannot handle the fast speed on the sewing machine. lol
And the older I get the slower I drive too, especially at night.

Here is the center of the FW Medallion Quilt. Now to get it on the Medallion Thread. We start the actual individual blocks this week - 2 a week. First week looks easy. Hopefully I can get another quilt sandwiched and will quilt on it during the week too.

Good start, Jeanie! I love your fabrics. Those geese are gorgeous.

Love your center, JeanieG. Love the colors in it. If wishes were quilt blocks, I'd have my all done! Still looking Frolic on my vertical board. It has not done anything more about finishing itself.

LOL Sue! How dare that Frolic sit there being lazy while you are waiting for it!

This is my Cozy Quilt Block of the Month that I did way back in 2012. The blocks sat for a long time, then I added the borders. Well I can now see that I did not cut all the blocks to the same size! I guess it is a good way to see how I have progressed in my quilting over the years! This is the oldest quilt that I had on my list, I guess because I am not pleased with it! Anyway, I decided to quilt it up and that someone who does not know anything about quilting may want it at some point! The colors are delightful!

Love the colors/pattern of your finish Jeanie!! Do you have a LA?

No, I quilt on my Brother PQ1500S. I just love that straight stitch machine. I love to piece on it, and it works well for the quilting I do. I mostly SITD with Superior Monopoly Thread. But I do like to use their multi-color threads for the borders. I do not do any free motion quilting, as I have never been a fan of it. I kind of like my blocks to stand out, which they do by SITD. The closest I have come was my quilt I posted a month or so ago done with the curved ruler. I really like how that turned out on such a busy quilt. I will be using it again. It was so quick - I think that is what people say with FMQ.

Great quilt, Jeanie! It's so fun looking and so colorful. How did you get the sashings to do that? Very cool effect!
