Almost ready to quilt

I actually got Eclipse loaded and basted last night and I tried to ignore that it wasn’t pressed well. By the time that I got to the end and saw that the quilt wasn’t straight, I knew I needed to start over. I ripped out the basting (easy) and pressed the quilt. It’s ready to be basted again today.

I did start pulling some threads to audition. The gray green will be the bobbin thread.

I also got 3 more blocks made for the Monty Scraps project

I won’t make much progress the next several days. I am dealing with an allergy issue that’s very uncomfortable but, more importantly, a contractor is starting work on our shower replacement.  It’s not straightforward because we’re removing a steam shower and replacing it with a regular shower. So there’s framing,  drywall, electrical and plumbing.  I don’t care about the mess or distraction. I’m just grateful that we found someone willing and available to do it.

In other words, I might miss a few days of posting.

    I always hate remodeling projects it is so messy. Why don’t I remember the border on this quilt you show I recognize the name.

    Home renovations are never fun, but wonderful when finished.

    Your blocks are looking great! Pressing was the right decision on Eclipse. It will save you headaches in the quilting.
