    It's taken me a couple of days, but the main quilting on the Buttons and Threads throw is done! I did the quilting on a Viking Scandinavia 400 with the acrylic quilting table, which made the quilting process a contact sport :lol: After watching me, DH went out and priced sheet acrylic to make me an insert so we can drop my D1 down in a table when she comes home :-) I have the borders to quilt and the binding to put on tomorrow. Not perfect by any means, but I am thrilled with my first attempt at a large quilt on a small machine. The race will be on to see who gets to nap under it first!!



    Close up of quilting to look (hopefully) like a thread looped all over the top

    You did a great job. I wish I could watch you quilt. I'm very challenged doing anything bigger than a table runner on my machine.,
