I basted 2 donation quilts and finished quilting one. This one is a large baby size quilt and I tried a different quilting design that I saw somewhere. It still needs binding. It began as a "leader/ender" project and it's mostly reds, blues and stars for the alternating blocks.

Then I started on the next donation quilt, which is somewhat larger - almost twin size. I have been having problems with the quilting. Maybe you can see what the sewing machine is doing. It only does this when I'm FMQing. Then I have to stop, rethread the machine, take out the bad stitches and start again. It also makes rats nests randomly on the bottom side. Not fun.
I may have blogged about this before. I have a Janome 6600 which sews great all of the time except when I free motion quilt. Another blogger also has this problem with her Janome. Does anyone else have this happen? I have taken it to be serviced a couple times on this, but it didn't get fixed. I will probably try again soon.

The quilting is put aside for now. In the mean time, I am working on some table runners for my GDs wedding reception coming up in August! Oh my! Can she be old enough to get married already?
