This week has all been about the machine quilting, I took this with me on my trip to Toowoomba and made quite a bit of progress.

I started with geometric designs and then went from there.  I think I like this curved line pattern the best.

A curved line of channel quilting.

And then the same pattern reversed.

You can see the pattern better on the reverse side.

There are a lot more  (another 16 in fact),  straight line, grids, vanishing points but if I were to try to put them up here it would look quite boring I think.  I will post the others when I finish the binding on the mats.  The next challenge will be to translate the pattern on the place-mats to the quilts. 

And I am also working on a C.Q. for a young child.  It is a panel that was given to me.  I have machine quilted the borders and am hand quilting (very slowly, in perle 8) the figures in the panel.  I might have to decide just how much I will do here as the hand quilting hurts my wrist.

Yes, let the wrist dictate how and how much you quilt.

The curved machine quilting is perfect for that water motif.

It will be charming when it's done!

I hope so.
