Yes, for me it’s a Happy Friday.
I’ve been working on Summer Solstice (a UFO from 2016) on and off this year trying to get ‘er done. It’s a Judy Niemeyer pattern that is paper pieced and has set in seams. Well … I got the top done – set-in seams and all!!! YAY!!! And forgot to take a picture. GROAN!!!! I sandwiched it and it’s now being quilted!
Yes, I’m using a walking foot to outline the diamonds on the Lone Star portion of the quilt. I have NO idea how I’m going to quilt them – or anything else on the quilt … but this is a start! I’m using Aurifil thread #2370. Hopefully, this will be finished in the next few weeks and I can mark it “DONE!” Just think how wonderful that will feel???

Actually, the set in seams weren’t too bad … just as long as I remembered to stop 1/4″ from the seams … then it works pretty good!

Thanks, Denise!
My husband helped pick out the fabrics … years ago … when we were at Fabric Depot in Portland, OR. I have no idea if any of them are Island Batik or not … but I do love them!
Thanks for hosting Put Your Foot Down!
