Once the decision was made to split the blocks into two wall quilts instead of the one I had planned.....process moved along quickly.
The smaller of the two has been assembled, sandwiched and machine quilting begun. Strips of painters tape is being used to maintain straight lines as I quilt. To avoid distracting from the interesting Japanese prints, simple quilting designs are my preference.

I like the diagonal stitching- if I recall correctly from a class I took many years ago with Libby Lehman's mother (do you recall her name? Last name maybe Anthony?), it's referred to as "double rodding". There's a trivia answer for you! Thanks for visiting my blog, too.
Kathrine Anthony is Libby's Mom. I got acquainted with her on the first of Doreen Speckmann's quilting cruises that I taught on. A real professional, grand lady, and a load of fun to be with. I've never heard of the term 'double rodding' but it's certainly appropriate.
Lovin the progress on these!!! And the diagonal stitching is really enhancing the design! Who knew!!! Not me!
