I'm glad you asked.

Now that July is almost over, I've finally finished the "Celebrate Spring" quilt that I got from Connecting Threads in March. Although it is not perfect, it turned out well. I added a border to frame it up a bit and tried a new technique with this one. The mitered border came out well. I also attached the binding with a similar but more standard serpentine stitch.

As for the fabric, it is amazingly soft and luxurious. I decided to go with all cotton batting (Quilter's Dream) which has made it quite lightweight. I also followed their example and quilted it with a random, long, serpentine stitch. It seems to be the perfect combination for a summer quilt. Haven't washed it yet, but I'm hopeful.

For those who care, I pieced and quilted it with a Pfaff 1222E until it got cranky and had to go to the doctor. It was finished on a Bernina 630.

Now, let's see if I can post a few pics....
