Coopah: Great finish! It also seems to be defying gravity, so it must be magic.

D: Love your modified borders and sashing. The way the colors line up with the colors in the block add a lot of interest.

everyone, pack up those scraps and the machine, get ready to meet here next week to board the next train ride.
oh boy!!! I really need to get my machines into the 'spa' but maybe they can wait a bit longer. Hmmm, worse case I will at least have my clues cut & ready to sew when the babies return home.

I am soooo glad we don't have to vote on a favorite quilt from the ride. Each new quilt I see I just drool over. The Jewel with a twist of lime is outstanding!

Glad you booked a BIG train for #9 MQ. from the response here - it is gonna be full. And filled with good food/drink again ! thx in advance for another fun ride..... we all appreciate the time and effort it takes to put this on for us.... My hat is off to you (cause I KNOW how busy you are!!) Kennie

And now, are we ready? One week from today, the train leaves the station for another fun ride.

The lady, her name is Candy, that filmed this video series is a little boring, but it showed how to add the panels and I just went from there. There are several qayg videos but I found this to be the best for me. I have posted the pictures here on QB but I don't know how to find them.
Thanks Dee1245, That was very helpful. It was slightly different than what I was going to try and easier, I think. The first section is long (and repetitious) but the last three go faster. I wasn't aware of sticky batting. Has anyone used it and found it better than regular batting?

dhanke, love the twist you gave to Twist of Lime, and love its name.

Thanks, Born2, and there will be plenty of room on the next rain. In fact, the station master promised to have an extra car waiting on a side rail in case there are late-arriving passengers. So, Kennie, where are you now on your journey? Kennie and DH are RVing it until I think she said late summer or early fall. I met her in Phoenix when they were here in late January.

Never heard of sticky batting but tried the iron-on Hobbs batting and didn't like it, was faster and easier to pin the quilt. Anyone else know about sticky? But my charity group uses spray washable adhesive and that works wonderful. Don't rmeember the brand, but it isn't the stuff from Joann -- that I don't like at all. Needs too much to get it all to stick together.
