I’m getting ready to run out for another appointment but I did get downstairs for a little while and got 3 tops quilted … the 2 little quilts were a bonus when I realized that I had enough backing and batting for one of the little quilts and then if I added a piece of batting I could get a second one quilted too. And Yes, those two cute little quilts were pieced by Ann!

And the one I’d planned to quilt was my Whale 🐳 Quicker Strippie!

Quilting is a mix of freehand with a pantograph in the larger sections – pantograph is Water Dance. I’ve had it for a while and this was a good opportunity to try it out. Next time I use it I need to increase the height of the pattern … it’s a little more dense that I like as is but it’s ok here.

It’s funny because I came up with my Quick Strippie pattern about 24 years ago so I could practice/learn to quilt on the longarm and they’re still good for that!
