Ok, my Orange Crush Mystery top is quilted, now I need to piece the borders
but I'm so happy to have this much done. I quilted it in 3 sections -
quilting 1 then adding the next and quilting it. When I added my next
sections, I stitched the new top piece on thru all layers. I think next time
I would leave a little more unquilted at the edge of the first piece and
only join the top to the top so I wouldn't have the straight stitching line
on the back. I plan to add the borders the same way stitching thru all
layers.

Right from the beginning I planned this as a utility quilt. Something to get
me back actually quilting, and using up stuff I had here. And boy am I
rusty! I did an allover stipple and I'm sure glad there really are no quilt
police! LOL!

Oh well, I've had fun working on this. Now I need to clean up my mess as I
leave again tomorrow (6 hour drive) to pick up another grandbaby (7 yr old)
to bring him home to stay with us for about 8 days. Don't imagine I will get
much sewing done while he's here.

Well, off to work.

Hope you all have a great day!

If you browse thru the other albums (not much there) in the grandbaby one is
Alyssa, she's the one I spent last weekend with now 11 months old. Ivan -
the 7 yr old I am about to go get is not in there. Maybe I'll get pics of
him quilting while he's here! *grin*
