Yesterday I finished the quilting for my practice run. I think I am ready to work on one of the baby quilts.
This is the front of my practice quilt:
and the back:
It takes me a while to load the quilts on the frame and I also need to take frequent breaks while I am working on the HandiQuilter so I try to have a secondary project going. I started working on this purple top several years ago. The person I was going to make it for let me know that she really wanted something else. So the blocks have stayed in a drawer until last week. In between working on the blue quilt I started putting it together. It will continue to be my secondary project.
I am planning on making these 9" blocks 9 wide by 10 long.

Dog of the Week
This is Chloe. She and Casper were adopted together as the rescue said they were a bonded pair. Either of them became uncomfortable without the other so they must be adopted to the same home. Chloe is the smaller of the pair at about 8 lbs. Casper must be 12-15 lbs. He is more independent than she is, but as bossy as he is, she is worse. She has decided that the 75 lb. Golden Retriever has to move when she says.
