Well, no pictures yet, but I have been practicing my free motion quilting by quilting a different design in each 4-patch block of the blue/tan/white quilt. I have 6 blocks left and then I hope to sew the binding on before Saturday. We might be going to my SIL's house on Saturday and last week she was asking me some questions about how to quilt and bind a wallhanging kit she wasnts to make. If I can get the quilting done, I'll take it with me to her house so she can see how the whole thing goes together.
After that quilt is finished, I plan to work on our bed quilt again. It seems to take a lot more time to piece because I have to square up each block after each piece is added (the center is a large medallion star made up of eight diamond log cabin blocks - the diamond shape means I have to square things up to keep the correct angle for the next row.) I've decided to start a crib quilt and use those pieces as my leaders-enders while working on our bed quilt.
Hopefully I'll have a few pictures of a finished lap quilt to show next post.
