The left side block and borders of blue Stars Around the Garden have been quilted.
I rolled, look at the center, I can see the top of the center! Progress is being made. Sometimes it just seems like I am swimming in place and not going anywhere but I have been.
I rolled and quilted the right side border and block. Next will be finishing the quilting in the applique center!
Last week I was asked about the quilting design I'm quilting in the center background. Here are links to this design in two sizes, 1.75" triangle and the 3" triangle. I like this design for the background, it's a welcome change from crosshatching or diamonds.
I took our grandson to get a haircut. We went a little early so he could play at the playground. Where we live, we have many people who utilize horse and buggy as their way of transportation. Their children also like to play at the playground. I took this picture of our grandson standing next to the trash bin which is located next to the hitching rack. The shovel is even provided by the parks department.

I LOVE your progress on your quilt... alll your donation quilts are awesome on that post too... but your grandson stole the show as the cutie on these 2 posts! I think it is amazing that the parks department near your park even include a shovel ... is there a compost pile for that stuff that is picked up???
I am glad y'all got to enjoy a park too <3 Kathi
Your quilt is beautiful. Lovely picture of your grandson, he's just a bit taller than the shovel! đ
How sweet your little grandson is, Gretchen. Now that's a pretty big shovel. Sometimes it can seem we don't get very far with our quilting, but then we look at it and realise just how much progress we have achieved. Love that blue floral print. It is a perfect fit with your beautiful applique flowers.
Your quilt is lovely. Now there is a sign that I will never see in my neck of the woods. Your grandson is adorable.
So pretty!
I can see great progress every single week, your quilting is awesome.
Sweet grandson, looks like he enjoyed the time with grandma.
Happy Mother's Day, Gretchen!
Love seeing your gorgeous quilting! Adorable grandson!
Yay for the center! It's always so great to actually see the progress made. And you did a lot!
Cute grandson, looks like a kind boy.
They're supposed to throw the manure into the trash box. There is a heavy duty trash bag in there. This little village is a safe place, no one steals the shovel, only in Wakarusa.
Love your hand quilting. Beautiful work.
Gosh your quilting is just so amazing!! and too funny!!
I've never seen a sign to clean up after your horse! Your quilt is coming along very well. Your grandson is quite the cutie! Enjoy your time with him.
Blue Stars is so lovely and your grandson adorable. You really have been busy and all the quilts in your first posting are fantastic . Loved seeing them
Your quilting is beautiful, Gretchen. And your grandson is darling. I bet ya'll had a wonderful day together.
You are making good progress. I love the feather and lines design at the border. Does this quilting pattern have a name? And thanks for the picture of your grandson, he has such a kind face. Hugs, Judy
