I'm still working on my pink tulip table topper.
It made it onto the longarm frame. I was going to quilt it with circles because it was a small project and I wanted to test my theory of my longarm stitch regulator not quilting correctly (shutting off) during sharp curves. I decided to just stitch straight vertical lines every half inch. I LOVE this ruler that I have been using for years. The longarm did not act up one time while stitching today. Zero threads were broken!
The backing fabric for this project is a pink pastel. Win, win.
I also made progress on my January (2026) RSC project with blues. It's called True Blue.
You can see the details for the True Blue quilt along at American Patchwork & Quilting site here. I am hoping I can make it large enough for us by adding some creative borders. I know I don't really like the edges as they are. It seems to have a little fullness here and there. I'm not really worried about any of that. So far it seems like it's laying flat enough for me to work in the fullness when it is quilted. I'm still not a fan of making and attaching the strip pieces on the corners of this quilt, yet I do like the effect.
I'm linking up at Angela's blog, SoScrappy, for the RSC26

Those blue blocks are stunning and have a lot of pieces in them.
Gotta love any project with Tula in it!
I'm glad you didn't have any tension issues. You got a lot more blue blocks made! I agree that a border is needed on the blue quilt top. You could work in the fullness a bit by adding a border. Maybe something simple like alternating light colored and blue squares and then a solid border.
Wow! True Blue is stunning. I have a weakness for blue quilts. That runner is just as cute as can be, and I'm glad your machine behaved.
Your pink tulip runner is adorable, Kathy! I love the darker border with pink squares, too. Looks like you're making good progress on True Blue as well!
Pretty pink tulips, so nice. Guess you will need to add borders to your blue quilt, they finish off a quilt nicely. I'm sure you will find inspiration somewhere and find just the design you are looking for.
