Finished!

My first quilt on the APQS Millennium.  Nothing special, it’s just a small baby quilt, but I love the all over swirls!  This was the first time I’ve ever used a polyester batting, (Quilter’s Dream of course, that’s all I use) and it quilted up just lovely!  Very soft and I would never in a million years know it wasn’t cotton.

I used Isacord thread in a pale blue to do the swirls.  Initially I used a variegated cotton in bright primary colors (Sulky, which the Millennium handled with no problem!) but didn’t like it at all, and ended up frogging it all out.  Ugh.

I’m still not really comfortable enough with the Millennium to do much other than practice quilts on it, I confess I’m struggling with it over my HQ16.  Free motion is easier on the Millennium, as is ruler work, but pantos… OMG!  They are SO much easier for me on the HQ16.

Today I’ll be loading up more practice sheets… I’ve got a lot of work to do!
