Today, I finished up all the quilting with white thread, and started on the green. I had already been at it for about three hours by then, and my shoulder couldn’t take anymore, so I didn’t get far with the green. But I wanted to give Joanna a quickie update, and answer a previous question wanting to know what I was going to put in the outer border.
I love the movement that CC (continuous curve) give to the pinwheel blocks. It really seems to make them “spin”.
Off to bed now…I’m exhausted!

I’m a simple woman…at least that what my DH (Dear Husband) used to say about me…I was a wife, I am now a widow, mother, step-mother & step-grandmother, quilter, and have a full time job in criminal justice. I lost my DH on May 22nd, 2011. I live in a small town in Texas. I love piecing quilts, I love quilting quilts. I have a serious addiction to fabric. I’ve been quilting since 1998, and purchased my first longarm, a Gammill Premier, in 2004. I upgraded to an A-1 Elite, named Corky, in March, 2007. I am in the process of rebuilding my life after losing my spouse.

Cute Cute Cute.
The entire quilt is so fresh and fun. I like the quilting you’ve done on this top. With such exact measurements, I still think your borders look computerized… even more so the way the two borders align so perfectly! ha ha

Thank you, Carla! I can only dream of a computerized system. And perfect? No…it’s not perfect, but I did try really, really hard.

It really does look perfect and exact. I am sitting here wondering how you will make the other border come out the same amount of half circle (but then I know how.) It just never works out that well for me. You like to use your ruler a lot. I do too. Mostly because my freehand is shakier than I like to see. Rulers make me look like a better quilter!
Your quilting is very fresh and pretty on this quilt. Nice job Randi!

This is a commercial pattern called Chubby Chicks, by Teri Christopherson. I believe it is available online, in numerous shops. Just to clarify any confusion, I did not make this quilt top…it is from one of my customers and fellow bloggers, and I have linked to her in the post. The only thing I can take credit for on this one is the quilting…lol.

It looks so great Randi, thank you. But don’t push yourself too hard. Your shoulder needs rest.
