I finished the last quilt, well, it was the last quilt, until I picked up another one, but this was the last one on my list on Monday. Now that I'm done, I'm going to pack.
The quilt is a bit larger than a twin-size. I don't have a bed available to display it on.
Here's a bit of a close-up of the quilting...
It really shows up best on the back.
I'm not sure I can deliver this before I leave, but hey, it won't be waiting for attention when I return. And that, my friends, is a very good thing.

Have a great time on your retreat! I look forward to the pictures of your brand new projects.
I was just looking at your quilting, you do that all on you "non-longarm" machine? I have done a few but can't figure how to keep it from puckering on the back. Any suggestions to a kindred quilter? Thanks Stacy
Hi Stacy,
The key to preventing puckers is in the pinning. If you check this blog entry

I've got pictures of my basting tables and a pretty thorough description. If you baste well and then stabilize the quilt with straight-line stitching with a walking foot, the puckers should not be a problem.
