I started this quilt on Dec. 18, 2008, completed the top by Jan. 5, 2009, and now have it quilted. This one was not pictured in the hanging quilts of the last 2 days because it was already basted. This is my favorite foot for stitch in the ditch. It is the quarter inch foot for my machine and has a single hole opening for the needle and a narrow space between the toes. This keeps my eyes from wandering side to side as they would with a zig zag foot or open toe foot. I can focus on the edge of the fabric as it travels between the toes of the foot.
See how ripply it is after quilting?
After steam pressing from the back it lays nice and flat. I trimmed the edges and sewed the binding on. I have 3 sides hand finished on the back and will finish the fourth side today.
I have ditch quilted around each set of fabrics in the blocks and did wavy lines in a crossed pattern, like streamers falling for New Year's Eve in the sashing and borders. 
I actually started the quilting on New Year's Eve and finished it by 2 p.m yesterday. Then I started the binding. I took a break to play a few games of Spider Solitaire and read some blogs. They say what you do on the first day of the year sets the pattern for the year. I hope that means that I will get lots of quilting and finishing done and get a little relaxation in each day too.
