Madrona - ready to quilt!


The madrona collage is finished, glue-basted, layers pin-basted, and now it's ready for me to start quilting. The quilt is really a bit larger than what you can see in this picture, but this was the best I cound do at taking pictures blindly, while standing on the coffee table and holding the camer above my head to try and get it's picture:-)
Since it's been a while since I quilted, I'll warm up on a practice sandwich, and then a bit of the old UFO - which is a Little Quilts design, before starting on it. I also have a quilt to quilt that belongs to my friend Becky, but I want to quilt on my own first, so that I'm back in sync with my machine before I touch hers, as I've never quilted any quilts but my own, and want to make sure to do a good job on it.

Ta-Da! I have enjoyed the journey you have taken with this quilt. It is beautiful and the quilting will be just the finishing touch to bring it to completion. Do you have a plan for the quilting yet?!

Thank you both!

I'm planning on gentle waves for the water, and maybe similar for the sky, because I don't want to take anything away from the trees. That said, sometimes I change my mind as soon as I sit down and start quilting:-)
