Winter's Song top is finally finished and on the longarm.

I finally finished appliquéing and piecing the wallhanging and have it on the machine.  I drew out some quilting ideas on the freezer paper pattern and then started quilting the sky.  It looks like crap so far.  I can't even look at it right now.  I am going to let it sit a day and see if I still hate it, if is, I will pick it out but only after I have quilted most of the rest of the top.  I think I need to quilt the sky a little tighter with smaller feather fronds as well. I am not even posting a picture of it because I am so disappointed and discussed.  

I have decided to make charity quilts with my Celtic Solstice blocks.  The quilt is way too bright for me and goes with nothing in this house so making them into children's quilts makes sense.  I also would have to make more parts to make it fit on one of our beds and I had no desire to buy more orange fabric or the will to sew any more of the parts.  I can split them into either four or five tops depending on whether I want to make squares or rectangles.  The pattern is out of whack if I make a sixteen block square but I think it would not matter to the baby receiving the quilt.  We will see.

Well DS brought his laundry over because they don't have machines in his building yet so I better go put his next load in.  How come I get the honours?  Once a Mom always a Mom.

Happy Stitching.
