Finished!
Because the coins are all scrap fabrics,
I'm calling this one Pocket Change.

I got a lot of practice making those vines. I've
used vining leaves on other quilts but only in a
straight line on sashing and borders. This was my
first time using it as a filler so it took a little
"thinking ahead". I also had to practice
making them upside down and sideways.
The Warm Up!
Some are not so hot...but that's ok. This project
is just for practice and scrap-busting. And,
"loosening" up can bring out the artist, right?
(We'll keep an eye on that progress...)
I think it turned out okay. Some are great, some are
not-so great, but it's done and I feel a little more
like finishing a couple UFO's. Looking forward
to a productive week!
Random stuff:
Oh--yes. It's been snowing lightly for a good
hour now...not sticking as it's too warm. Bummer.
Guess what I'm actually quilting now!?
YES! I want it done by the end of the day!
Question: How do you machine quilt?
Go at it while you've got the rhythm? Or take
constant breaks to re-set yourself (and stretch!)?

Comments
I take frequent breaks about every 15 minutes. Stretch the neck and rotate the shoulders to prevent cramps.
you are on a roll.
