Backside of the Frontside

I love when the back looks as neat and tidy as the front.  Well maybe I like it because it shows off how much stitching I did...

What's on my quilting frame?

Now for the hand quilting....

My New Old Rooster Quilt

I dug out these finished blocks last week and started sewing the blocks together.  The pattern is from Quiltmaker's All-Time Favourite series of magazines from Spring 2002.  I seem to have misplaced my copy of the magazine itself, but here are the blocks.

I am kind of crazy for needle-turned applique as you can see but in my usual way I sort of loose interest once the applique is done.  Oh, sigh....

But after quilting the bow-tie mat, I really wanted another project to quilt and this one was elected.
