    A board member sent me this Japanese Fan quilt to quilt for her. I have had this one for awhile. I needed specialty threads and just the courage to get started. This is the first of its kind that I have done. I thought it would be fun to chronicle from start to finish. So here goes....

    On the outside border I am going around the spikes with metallic thread
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]102274[/ATTACH]

    I draw on top of the blocks and audition my design
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]102275[/ATTACH]

    I use a flexible ruler to mark my lines
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]102279[/ATTACH]

    Then I use a template to help me stay on the line

    Feathers on. Done for the night!

    Test my tension. This is why we ask for 3-4" larger backing.

    Your quilting is looking great. I can see why it took you so long to get started. What an awesome quilt.

    Oh thank you, this is a good learning lesson for all. I have been very interested how you do the designs on the long-arm. Cant wait for the next steps.
    Just beautiful.
