Quilting and bar tacks...

I went clothing shopping yesterday.  I really didn't have any nice clothes for summer.  I found a few things and will probably shop one more time next week.  I really don't like most styles on the racks so it isn't much fun hitting the dressing room.  When I got home I started quilting the quilt I basted on Tues.  I will be changing thread a lot.  I got most of the red/pink areas quilted and a little of the pale yellow area.
This is what the quilting looks like on the back.  I am quilting this one in the same manner as the other 2 in the series.
I worked on the corners of more of the mug rugs.  After I talked of my dilemma yesterday and listened to the comments, I decided that if I was purchasing this item in a store, I wouldn't be questioning why there was a bar tack by machine in the corners.  I am doing all of the ones that have busier print binding by machine and still doing some of the plainer ones by hand.  I have 30 done out of 55 now.
