Well, I had written a post back in November and instead of publishing it, I evidently saved it as a draft! Sigh.
Oh, well. Tonight I have an update. I got the blocks all assembled and actually started the hand quilting today, in between laundry loads. I am really enjoying the process. I will take it along tomorrow when Cowboy and I take a road trip to visit some old mines.
In the blocks themselves I am quilting a flower with 4 heart-shaped petals. And the sashing and borders will be the cable. I am also doing echo stitch around the perimeter of each block.

Ugh hand quilting you are brave it is not even in my vocabulary anymore!
I had thought to use a jeans needle for the uniforms but it wasn't the right size for my Bernina and as it turned out the #10 went through like it was butter. I am amazed at how powerful that little machine is and once I thought about it I realised that the finer needle could pierce the fabrics better.
My second cataract surgery was yesterday so I won't be sewing much until at least tomorrow, I had the post op check this morning and this afternoon we have Ash Weds. service.
