Progress on the music UFO
I made good progress last evening. I quilted the strips in four blocks that needed white thread. It's a pain to keep changing thread colors so I went ahead and quilted with the white before I had to change the thread color. The blocks in pink have only the white strips quilted; the blue outlined blocks are done. I am now 22% done with the quilting. The machine is all set up with black thread so I will be quilting those two pink outlined blocks tonight. I will probably quilting the black in the block adjoining those two blocks and save myself another thread change. It will be easier to see to quilt too since I had to replace the burnt out bulb in the sewing machine. It had been burnt out for a couple days. That task is always a challenge so I was dragging my feet. It didn't take me too long this time. The key is to wear a glove with a gripper surface so the bulb can be shoved in and twisted with just my pointer finger and my thumb.

I'm glad to hear you solved the problem of getting the bulb in the Pfaff. I'll have to remember that tip next time I need to do mine. I had used a balloon one time to hang onto the bulb but it wasn't a perfect fix.
I think I remember when you made this top. I used the same fabrics in a quilt for my nephew. I have a machine that is hard to change the bulb too. I keep a little piece of rubber shelf liner in my motions drawer just for that purpose.
