It's finally done!!! And the baby isn't six months old yet! I'm getting (slowly) back on track!
This quilt was so fun, start to finish. I loved shooting flowers in my garden, sometimes on the ground on my belly. (Not knowing at the time I had rattlesnakes sharing my living quarters!!!) I loved composing the Spoonflower cheater panel. I loved piecing the back with the only pink charm square pack I had in my stash. I loved piecing the borders with leftovers in my stash. And oh, how I loved quilting this one!
I think I've already reported that I had to take the longarm into the shop last fall because I hadn't used it in more than four years, possibly longer than that. I wanted to make sure everything worked right. I'd had trouble with tension and timing the last time I used it. I picked it up from the shop in October, and I almost felt as if it needed another tune-up before I used it this month because it sat so long again.
But everything works fine. My first free-motion quilt in years just a week or so ago got me back into the groove, and my goal for this quilt was fewer mistakes (which I proudly achieved!!!) and more fluidity. I feel like I'm getting the hang of driving Ringo again! This quilt made me LOVE quilting again!
