Ditch quilting is done

I finished all the ditch quilting on Mom’s quilt yesterday. After I  was done, I realized that I need to take the quilt off and get a full front photo so I  can figure out how I want to quilt it. I will do that today. It’s an easy thing to do since I have the quilt zipped to the leaders and now it’s completely stabilized.

Here’s a peek at the backing fabrics that she chose. The quilting won’t show on the back but it’s a  very pretty fabric.  I think it came from Backside Fabrics.

I also started pulling some possible threads. You can’t tell in the photo but there are 2 blues, 2 greens, a beige and a taupe. I’m leaning green at the moment.

In the evenings I’m trying to work away at the big blanket. Hot weather is coming so I need to get this wrapped up and switch to smaller projects.

Today is appointment and errand day. I don’t think I’ll get much done except photographing the quilt.
