Double Four-Patch top finished - NOW QUILTED
Here is the latest top I finished. It's Double Four-Patch from Judy Hopkins' book The Big Book of Patchwork. I now have four tops that need quilting. I haven't even touched my long arm since I got home in early April, what with spring garden, house and boat work to do. My husband, his two sons and two grandsons just left a half hour ago for a week camping and fishing in the Boundary Waters along the Minnesota/Canadian border, and I have promised myself that I would spend as much time as possible re-familiarizing myself with the machine and computer programs. It's supposed to be hot and humid this week, so it's a good time to spend indoors.

Here it is. I'm pretty excited. I learned a lot on this one. I quilted it using the computer software. The pattern is not quite as perfect as I had hoped, but it's a lot better than if I had tried a panto by hand. Sometimes a curve isn't a perfect curve; it's flattened a bit, or a leaf is a little misshapen. You don't notice it too much on the front, but the back is the color of the binding and the thread is off-white, so you can see the imperfections more clearly on the back. I'll try a simpler pattern next time. There were a lot of stops and starts in this one. Overall, I'm happy!
