Quilting has its perks

I got the tessellated quilt loaded on the machine yesterday and started quilting it. One of the perks of quilting on the frame is that you can examine it closely, clip stray threads and pick off the fuzzies before you quilt it. This one is queen size and picked up some kitty hair while I was pressing it. Not sure how that happened since my house is always spotless...

Hmmmm,  I know you  know better since I'd rather sew than clean. This is the back, I like the way it ties in the smaller black and white dotted fabric from the front. I plan on working on this a bit every night after work. We'll see how that goes.

I also spent some time yesterday putting blocks together for the mystery quilt. It's coming along, and I only have 13 blocks left to put together. I am excited to lay it out to see if it meets the expectations I have!

My holiday break is over and I'm back to work today. Happy Tuesday!
