My design wall was used this week to put together the backing for my latest charity quilt. The rows are 2” wide and each piece are various lengths. I love the cat fabric at the top and the blue fabric is a Christmas theme which also runs sideways. I figure that each of them will give the recipient something special/fun to look at.
Then today everything got loaded on the frame.
And the quilting has begun. I am using Glide in both the needle and bobbin and all is going well.
The quilting design is something I saw in a video on The Quilt Show Weekend newsletter: Angela Walters.
I first drew this on a white board, boy did it look awful. However I have learned that I quilt better than I draw so I plunged ahead. I only have 2/3rds of the first row done but I feel I will finish soon.And I even got the label done but forgot to take a picture so I will post it next week.
And, if you read my “on the needles” posts, you will want to catch next Friday’s post where I will be sharing the “funny on me” joke.
As usual I will be linking with Patchwork Times and then I hope everyone will be having a great week. Gari

Gari, your quilting looks good. Is it all free motion, as that is Angela's signature type of quilting. What does she call this design? Will look forward to your post on Friday.
Yea for getting going on this quilt. Your back will be interesting too. But I admit I have a very hard time figuring out pieced backings. I generally have to draw them out to get the backing right! Sigh.
