WIP Wednesday

Woohoo!  I have a mid-week finish!  I finished the longarm quilting of this customer quilt yesterday.

 
I love the way the pattern (Double Bubble 2) looks on this quilt.  I bet it will be even more awesome once it is washed and crinkles a little.  This customer prefers Hobbs batting.

 
I quilted it with a mint green thread.  It matches the backing.

 
In other news, I haven't had too many finishes.
 
I got a few stitches done on my EPP hexie flowers for my Catchin' Some Rays baby quilt.  I also got a few stitches in on my pre-printed cross stitch pillow sham.  Both items are in my Sew-to-go bag.
 
 
All the blue hexies are now ready to be sewn on to the flower.
 
 
Here's another completed block:

The customer quilt is very pretty, the quilting is very lovely. It just takes time to get quilts finished! It's so nice you can take slow stitching along to work on when you need it. Happy stitching!
