Pride before a fall

I was going to write about what a terrible longarm quilter I am – it was that kind of night as I quilted the 3rd of 10 tops for January. This one pieced by the St. Mary’s quilters in CT and sent to me to quilt and donate for HeartStrings.

You probably can’t see the quilting (leaves and loops) which wasn’t the problem but if I ever tell you here that I’m thinking of quilting for hire, please talk me out of it. I felt completely incompetent tonight although in the end the quilt will look fine. (Not great, but OK).
I think I must have been admiring my quilting on the last few quilts too much. You can’t tell so much from this photo but I liked the swirling/dwirling quilting I did on this one and was admiring it as I finished the binding tonight….just before going downstairs to quilt the above top. I must have jinx myself.

Here’s a photo of the back, certainly nothing complex but I thought it had a pleasing flow.

At any rate, that’s one more quilted and one more bound. Progress is being made.
