More Barn Quilting

 Yesterday morning was spent getting a bone density scan and then grocery shopping. Fortunately, the list at the grocery store was short. When I got home, I had some lunch, and then got back to my quilting. I'm happy to say the quilt blocks are all quilted now. Everything was going along smoothly until...uh-oh...the cat-tle are out of their pens.

And how can you resist that bright face? Well, I can't. We had to stop for some head butts and cheek rubs. 

By day's end, all the barn blocks were quilted.

Here's how it's looking from the back:

It's a little easier to see the quilting if I hold the camera at an angle.

I really love that backing fabric. It makes me think of our road trips when I'm taking pictures of barns in order to keep myself awake. That fabric came from Durango Quilt Company in Durango, Colorado. I was still embroidering the blocks at the time. When I saw that fabric, I bought five yards specifically to use for this quilt back.

Speaking of road trips, we got word our camper repairs are finished. We're heading up to Yakima again to pick it up tomorrow, and so I won't finish my quilting until we return. We'll sleep in the camper overnight Thursday, and we'll be home by Friday afternoon. I was hoping to have the quilting finished and ready for binding by the weekend, but that will be delayed for a day or two. Oh well. The weather should be dry, and so we'll be able to spend a little time in Toppenish seeing some more of their murals.

For today's quilting effort, I'm planning to quilt the horizontal sashings and cornerstones. If there's time (and there should be), I'll quilt the inner border. The outer border will probably have to wait until we get back. There's also laundry on today's agenda, so there's plenty to keep me busy. 

I'm signing off for a couple of days. I'll be back Saturday morning to tell you what's new.
