What I’m Working on Wednesday – 9/24/2025

First up in Monterrey Medallions. I took it off the frame and trimmed it just after midnight this morning. That makes 3 quilts ready to bind.

Here’s a picture of it on the frame. I love the backing I ultimately went with.

While it was quilting I worked on Windmill Weave.  Apparently my math was not mathing when I was figuring out how wide to cut the strips.  But on the bright side I think I’ll be able to get the backing from a single width of fabric. I think next time I’ll go with 1/2″ wider strips and a larger center block.  I have a stack of white & print strips sewn together.

Monterrey Medallion Is A Top

This past weekend I attended my guilds annual quilt retreat.  I was able to get there by 10 or 10:30 Thursday morning — the earliest I’ve ever shown up – and I did not have to take work calls or attend a funeral over the weekend. I finished the Monterrey Medallion quilt top by 10 PM Saturday night. There was one foray to a quilt shop about 40 minutes away to look for a backing fabric.

I think this is the 3rd fabric I bought for this quilt. It’s not what I went after, but it’s even better than what I was looking for.  While I was there I picked up 2 other pieces of fabric to make Windmill Weave.

I hope to get the quilt loaded tonight.
