Another finish!

Woohoo I’m on a roll! Recently a blog reader asked me if I do even small quilts like table runners and baby quilts on the longarm, versus on my sewing machine. Heck yes! This table runner took me all of two advances to quilt, it was done lickity split!
I used Quilters Dream Poly for my Mom’s, it turned out much nicer than mine, which;)
is good! In fact I’m quite tickled with hers, I needed a sample of another type of edge to edge quilting, and her quilt was a good candidate.
;)
I’m not much of a blue person at all, but I’m rather taken with this one. Hopefully my Mom is too! I had some homespun fabric, a brushed twill, that has been in my stash forever, and I knew I’d never use it for anything, so I was so thrilled to see it made a perfect backing for this quilt.
Have I mentioned how much I am loving my new Millennium?

I like that one too - almost like a "lattice" type of pattern.

Love this design! Have I mentioned how jealous I am?? I am! Someday..............
Wow! Gorgeous!! Polly :-)
I really like that pantograph. Love the colors in the table runner also. Outdoor pictures of quilts are so great.
It is great, the runner and the pattern!
I am guessing that your floor is cement, it must kill off your feet standing there.
Ooh I like that. Are you freehanding these or is that a panto?
Yes, I am jealous...of the space you have and the machine...I really want a longarm someday.

THE delivery was today...but won't be able to unpack for a day or so :-(
You are making it hard to wait with your finishes!
Great job as usual! Where did you get the clamps that are holding the top and backing onto the bar? Those look very helpful!
Love this one too, CJ. Let me ask - how do you keep your lines straight when cross-hatching on your longarm? Do you do it by eye or do you use a straight edge ruler?
I'm loving how you quilted this pretty thing.
