I always put off quilting quilts because I'm still fairly new to the actual quilting part of making quilts and I get cold feet. I have to credit Lena of Quilt Art for giving me the push I needed to get going. She made a comment in a previous post that very nicely encouraged me to get on with it.
I've been using the quilt to practise both walking foot quilting and free motion. I expect to have a finish by Friday and I'm pretty exited about that. I'm linking up with Beth at Main Crush Monday because in terms of quilts this has really been my Main Crush this week.

That's a pretty darn good, teaser shot! I want to see more! I'm super excited for you, to hear you are getting close to a finish :)
I agree, we want to see more!!! Nice quilting too by the way.
Great progress, Lisa, keep it up! I'm humbled to hear I had an influence on your process))
I struggle most with the actual quilting part of the process too so I'm cheering you on from the sideline! The teaser is looking beautiful and I can't wait to see the whole finish.
The teaser picture shows beautiful quilting. You shouldn't have cold feet about quilting. None of us got it right in the first few miles lol. You are doing great! ;^)
Good teaser -- it's looking great so far. Good luck with the finish.
Gorgeous colors! Can't wait to see more.
Ohhh, I can't wait to see more! I love all the colors and the quilting is superb! :)
It's a great quilt for practicing some dot to dot quilting, and I will definitely be excited to see your finish. :)
Love a sneak peek! Looking forward to seeing how you have finished it on Friday!
I definitely see some dot-to-dot quilting there. I can understand the pressure of quilting - you put in all that work in the piecing of a project, and don't want to chance "ruining" it with the quilting, but I promise you - you won't! Once I got over the fear of ruining a quilt, I realized that once a project is finished, it's still a good feeling. And if it's a project that gets washed, so much of it softens up and everything looks great. Can't wait to see the rest of the quilting.
I enjoyed the sneak peek and look forward to the reveal :)
