Wow, I set out this morning wanting to finish the edge-to-edge quilting on the Follow the Sun top. I had loaded the backing up last night and got the batting ready. So, first thing I cleaned and oiled Erik and got to work.
I choose a quilting pattern called Siena Sunflower. I liked it because it was a 'flower' design that will look really great on the 'plain' backing. So, I had to learn how to upload it into Q-Matic, which turned out to be very easy and user friendly.
It turns out that the pattern had a few 'jumps' in each section, so I had to stay near and keep hitting the buttons to move it forward. That was very annoying because they were completely unnecessary (I found out later that I had uploaded the wrong file extension).
But, I got it done in one day. I even attended a BravePatch Monday get-together, although I had to keep getting up to attend to the quilting.
