Slow and steady wins the race!

There hasn't been much to post here in the last couple of days. We had to go to Gainsville for some personal business, and that took an entire day off working on the primitive quilt. I jumped in early today and am in the home stretch . The colored parts are all done and I have quilted the top border and the first row of the quilt. I hope tomorrow will show more progress, maybe even a finish!
I did quilt just the blocks on the chicken run before taking the quilt off the machine and loading up the next customer quilt.

I quilted the 20 blocks with this chicken wire pattern. The rest of the quilt will be done freehand.

If anyone recognizes this quilt, give me a call!
You didn't put your name or phone number in the bag with the quilt parts,

I chose the panto: Funky Fans

Maybe you recognize the backing. It was a long piece I needed to cut and sew.
When my day was done (and my feet hurt) I finished the quilt made of free blocks from my evening guild. It will be a charity quilt for that guild.

Here it is on the design wall with the borders finished.

All done! I quilted it and got the binding done after our trip to Gainsville.

The panto is Feather Flourish. Oh yes, the name of the pretty panto on the neutral quilt from a couple of days ago is Daydream. Isn't that a lovely name?

I had this backing piece left from another quilt I did.

Today I prepped more pieces for the never ending repair I have been trying to finish.
The hand work fills most evenings in front of the TV with my feet up!

And here is an after school picture of my grandson in his new rainbow shirt and shoes.
My son picks him up after his school day!
He is a middle school teacher.
