Winter Solstice Progress



Things are tracking along quite nicely with the lap quilt I will gift to Goldie's mum. She returns to China at the end of February so I really don't have time to dawdle.

I have basted - I tried spray but still used pins. 

I pieced a back from a piece of $2 fabric from an op-shop and a scrap strip from another quilt.

And I have straight line quilted by shadowing the ditch. It worked well on the verticals but not so great on the horizontals.
