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.
Nice stitching on your top!
