Best place ever.

Happy mail! Flowers & narwhals.

Conclusion: I can't imagine doing this with a whole quilt. Don't like all the pulling & gripping. Will stick with hand quilting!
TaraSwiger:
Want to try machine quilting, so I improv pieced 2 squares for a potholder.
TaraSwiger:
Handquilting to Hatfields & McCoys. (Details on quilt on my site today!)

Andre approves of the backing fabric. #matcheshiseyes

Halp! I can't decide on a backing fabric! Which is your fave for my red quilt (last photos)? Plan to have a stripe of the front fabrics down the back. Thanks! #scrappytripalong
TaraSwiger:
Ironed, trimmed & layout finalized. Now if only Andre would move.
TaraSwiger:
Andre does not approve of ironing.
TaraSwiger:
