The primary thing I’ve been working on this past week is the Stars. All of that a fabric will get counted when the top is complete — which at this rate will be August 2016, not August 2015 — but I’m having fun picking out fabrics from my scraps. I might have fabric to report next week. I’m gearing up, at least in my head to quilt my Orca Bay.
I’m considering quilting it in concentric circles — but I’m not sure there is enough space on my sewing machine. I’m confident there is on the treadle, but I’m equally confident that I’m not coordinated enough to treadle, stitch a smooth curve and wrestle a large quilt at the same time. It almost makes me want to see about getting the motor rewired just to try.

I would love to see you tackle that Orca Bay on a treadle. lol If you do decide to accept the challenge, please have someone video tape the action. I imagine it would be entertaining as well as instructional. I have a treadle that I can’t control yet with just my feet and hands!
Congrats on decreasing your stash too. A little at a time works for me.
