Its not a quilt - til it is quilted!

And she (decided it was a she) is quilted.  I used an elongated wave stitch which is one of the built in stitches on my Quattro and I really like the effect

 This is the first time I have machine quilted an entire lap or bed size quilt.  In the 'old days' before I became 'Modern Quilter' I hand quilted my quilts or sent them out to a long arm quilting service.

With my machine set up on my sewing island (former kitchen island) I have lots of support for the weight of the quilt.  I find standing or perching on a stool is better than sitting.  I guess that is a personal choice.



Anyway I am soooooo pleased.  Tomorrow I'll stich the binding and then hand stitch it in place.
