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.
