Quilting and Basting

I've spent the last month not doing much sewing. It's been all about weekends away, and spending time with friends, and long summer night reading out in the screened-in gazebo instead of being holed up in my sewing room. I don't feel bad at all about that, but it does mean I don't have a whole lot to blog about.

I've had the "Supernova" quilt in my machine being free-motion quilted for the past two weeks. I've been sitting down and doing a half-hour here and there of quilting, just easy all-over spirals. I'm happy with it so far, and it's close to being done.

I also basted two quilts at work the other night - the "Wayfinder" quilt, which I think turned out awesome, and "Panache"...which I realized just now I never finished writing about. The last you all heard, I was battling with all the tiny grapes. These were obviously conquered, along with multiple other pieces and some washing drama, and I'll tell you all about it when it gets its own Friday Finish post!

Wayfinder

I've been plugging away on my flying geese units for the Wayfinder quilt. So many flying geese!

I counted, and there are 368 of them in this quilt, so I'm just taking it slow and steady, and enjoying the fun fabrics and colors as I go. This one is my favorite. Look at those cute little otters lounging in the water under the moon!

I finally had enough geese made where I could sew one part of the quilt together - I think all the colors look stunning. Just a few hundred more of these to go!
