Weekend Progress

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

Here’s the second mountain top with both borders finished.  I was cutting the dark plaid for the outer border when I had my way-too-close encounter with the rotary cutter.

I’ve started piecing the backs for both mountain quilts so maybe I’ll be able to throw one on the quilting machine soon.

I finished quilting the dinosaur quilt.  I had trouble with the thread breaking so I adjusted the tension TWICE but eventually I got it working just right :)   I took the time to bury the thread ends in the quilt and boy my eyes got a work out threading the needle especially since the thread broke so many times.  I’ve trimmed it up and have the binding all ready to sew on.  I might get to that tonight but I still have my First Saturday block to get finished for Saturday.
