Thanks all. :D It's pretty basic so far, going to be along time, if ever, to approach the wonderful long arm work I've seen here. I have at least 10 quilt tops that I need to do, ordered backing for 3 more last night, and I need to get a roll of batting and stock up on thread. I might take in work for practice, who knows? I just don't want to mess up anyone else's hard work.
I finished the Sugar Bowl blocks for the blue quilt while at the Sew Much Fun Friday meeting. I got the top almost all sewn together yesterday and today. It was fun. :D A little chatting, a little snacking, and listening to all the conversation going on.

I have a 5 bedroom house but it's not that large really. Three of the bedrooms are pretty small, something like 10'x12', and I want to take the 3 bedrooms on one side of the hallway and make them 2 larger rooms. The frame barely fits in this room.
The fabric is Fig & Plum by Fig Tree.

Yes, I assume it is tension issues with the bobbin. That was the third time I put in a new bobbin while quilting it and there must have been something wrong with that last one. I'm just glad that the majority of it is OK.
The burgundy would look nice but I am 99% sure that I don't have any more of this collection or any fabric in these colors and I don't want to buy any. I'll have to see what I have that will look good with it.
