It is so hard to get a good picture of quilting. I admire those who do it often with good results. This AM I started machine quilting my scrappy bargello quilt. I finished the center with a variegated dark tan thread. I did a dwirl and twirl pattern. The dwirling on Pajama Quilter is neat, but I added about half of the surface covered with "twirls". See if you can see it in these pictures...
The second picture has a row of HST selvage blocks to stretch the back! I needed about 3-1/2 more inches.
The following picture shows the pebbles I'm quilting in the 5" wide border. Those take a lot of thread and a lot of time!! I'm doing them on my domestic sewing machine. I might try them some time on my Handi Quilter. I have nearly two borders finished. That's over 2 bobbins of thread.

you know, I wasn't sure about the scrappy bargello at first, but I really like it - you did a beautiful job - the colors mix so nicely and it has lovely movement.
