{Post #56} Started Army Stars Quilting

Right off I need to apologize to Natasha.  She asked me what secret projects I was working on.  I told her none.  I guess I've been mentally working on this quilt for a week, trying to decide how to quilt it and what thread to use.  


I started the machine quilting on the Army Stars quilt this AM.  Started piecing the back last night.  Did the final seam this AM then loaded it on the HQ frame.  


The first three passes are finished.  As I rolled it I discovered a gnarly knotted area.  I don't know what happened there.  After it is finished I will rip that out and requilt it.  Seriously have no idea!


Here is a shot of the border where the quilting thread shows up the best so far.  I am doing loops and stars.




The HQ pair (machine and frame) is a dream.  Glides so easily.  <sigh> bliss.
