Rhapsody in Blue

 The quilting through the center of the quilt is finished!

Here are pictures from left to right.








For some reason I turned the regular overhead lights and led lights off, I can see the quilting so much better, now I'm showing you. This is the right side of the quilt. I love those feathers!



You can easily see where the quilting in the background of the applique border has been quilted. I'm definitely doing the right thing by quilting the background, it doesn't look baggy anymore.

I don't know if I'll have both sides of the applique border finished by next Sunday. Hopefully the bottom half will be finished.
