Progess on the 2010 quilt
I finished quilting this section of the 2010 quilt.  I am quilting by eye so there will be some variance in the size of the space between the rows of stitiching which I am fine with.
I also got that long brown strip done.
For the green area I used DMC pearl cotton size 8.  It is a bit harded to use - it is harder to thread the needle, harder to pull the thread thru when burying knots.  It is what I had so that is what I used. The brown area was quilted in size 12 which is much easier to quilt with.     I had a odd tan color with a lot of orange undertone, but it looked ok against the brown.  I have more size 12 coming because the colors I have are not  what I want to use.  JoAnn's shows size 12 on thier website, but they have none in stock so I had to go to ebay to get a few more colors.  
Here is a picture of the road that runs back to where I work.  It is one of those side roads for a small industrial park so there is not much traffic.  It is about 3/4 of a mile round trip with a little bit of  a hill next to the adjoining country road.
I did get a few rows of the darker pink quilt sewn together, had to roast some veggies for lunch today, and did some dishes.  My eveings sure go by fast.
