In the offing is my Kasbah Quilt. I have used the left overs on the back.

I sandwiched my Giant Nested Circles with Stash Table wadding because it (the wadding) was white. I had quilted along the lines of the blocks before admitting my mistake.The wadding was at least 4oz weight and the whole thing impossibly heavy and bulky. I started weary unpicking but found I could just pull except at the intersections - by then I was past caring but no harm was done to the top in the process. The wadding has been put in the cupboard probably to use to make a cushion pad or two and it's back to the drawing board. I have a slightly crazy plan for the quilting but am quite gung ho about the whole thing now.

The tablecloth quilt is shown before I sandwiched it. Now I'm about to add binding.

Meanwhile too I have ditch quilted the main seams of Appley Dappley and am now adding perle thread hand quilting to the blocks and sashing. I find this evening work in front of the TV very soothing and enjoyable.
I have been assigned a clutch of MorsBags to make for the local food bank so that's my first machine job once the binding has been attached to Appley Dappley.
