A day off with nothing to do but quilt (not until kid duty at 3pm at least).
D-R-E-A-M-Y.
For some reason, I quilt faster in my head than in real life, but I’m not complaining and certainly admiring the five columns I was able to finish today.
Hell, I’m a 1/3rd of the way there.
If I’m ambitious then I should be done around Sunday, in between those sessions called work.
Whoops, unless I keep skipping peels in my orange peel quilting.
I’m still working on my corner to corner rhythm, I seem to make it to the middle and stop. I’m sure I’ll have it down by that 15th row.
Happy Wednesday.
I love the quilting you’ve done so far! Really looks great and original.
The quilting is awesome…. I must try that pattern soon.
You planted a big smile on my face with the comment about work. Thats excately how I feel this morning going to work. All I really want to do today involves a cup of tea, a couch, and some hand quilting.
Oh, this is simply marvelous! I love this quilting pattern. I have three hours sans kids this morning and I’m itching to quilt, but there’s all this laundry, the piles of dishes…
Your quilting looks great! I had to smile when I saw the missing petal in the first picture. You should leave it that way. Every time you see that gap you can smile

Looks fantastic…The quilting is so different and gives this quilt a really charming feel.
Love that quilting effect. Darn work thing does keep insisting on getting in the way of play though, still, it keeps us in fat quarters…
I think the missing orange peels actually add a great sense of whimsy. love the quilt!
Sounds like a lovely day! I’m hoping to get some quiet time on Saturday.
Oh, your quilting is gorgeous!
I looove this quilting pattern. I generally do straight line quilting – but I’d like to try something like this at some point. So pretty
I’m so impressed with your fmq in this style.
I need to try this!
The petals are a perfect choice for this quilt. Love it!
I love it Katie! I’m going to try it next time I’ve got squares.
I love the “orange peel” quilting you are doing – perfect for your pretty squares!!!
Your stitching really does look nice. It takes a little bit to get a rhythm going. Good job!
It’s gorgeous! I kind a like that you missed one of the orange peels.
Really lovely, Katie!
Sometimes it seems we’ve been quilting for hours, and we take the quilt off the machine to admire how much we have done. And poof…..de-flation. There is still so much more to quilt! It is really a fun whimsical quilt.
Love that luxury on unfettered time…
Kid-free gives me a chance to recharge, I share the sentiment of dreamy.
I’m loving the quilting you’re doing on the charm quilt, although whenever I’m actually quilting something myself on the machine I always wonder if I’m doing it right. I still think I need a real lesson from you.
that quilting is terrific! will we see you at the sew-in tomorrow? i may actually make it!
Love both the quilt and the quilting. Thank you for showing us how to!
This looks great. I’m a sucker for patchwork and then the unique quilting really accents the squaredness (nice new word, huh?) of the fabric pieces.
I love this, I want to drop everything and make the one just like it right.this.minute!!!
I’m with Lindsey, it’s perfect!!!
