    This is the main body of the quilt I am making for an acquaintence here in our small town. I still have to add a 2" border of the palest green in the blocks then a 3" border of a tan with pink roses. Haven't decided what color to use for the binding yet. I'm leaning towards the darker sage green.

    I'm showing the back so y'all can see how my 1/4" outline stitch that I use for almost all my quilting makes a nice pattern on the backing. I'm quilting this throw using the sectional QAYG
    that I did the tutorial on. I'm not crazy about the extra lines it throws into the quilting pattern on the backing, but at least they are much easier on my body to quilt that way.

    It will be very soothing for the recipient. You have done a very nice job with that one!
