I quilted it with a panto called, Verdant. I have quilted several lately with that design and I have a couple more quilts that need to be quilted with that same design. It quilted up great and I only had ONE thread break in the whole quilt and the quilt is something like 104 inches. 
I got a small shipment of Maderia thread in. It is my very favorite to use. Hubby looked at it and said "That doesn't look like 22,000 yards of thread" but it is. Each cone has 5500 yards. This will last me a while. I was running low on these colors and I tend to use them a lot. I also ordered a color card. They don't really list the colors by name, just numbers so it is hard to determine the exact color. 
Hunter has a little friend spending the weekend so I figure I probably could not start on another quilt today. Now that I got that big one off the frame, I will fix supper and MAKE some bindings tonight. I have 4 more quilts that need quilted before Christmas and 3 of them I will be doing the binding for. I figure I can work on the handwork late at night as I am resting on the couch. I was thinking today that I will be delivering a pile of quilts to the quilt shop on Monday and they have a sale going on......you know where this is headed right? Actually, I can't spend very much on fabric right now but they have some of their Civil War Fat Quarters bagged up and priced 10/$10. So at a dollar each, that is too good to pass up. I'm delivering 6 client quilts so I probably wouldn't miss $10 or $20 bucks....right? LOL!
I'm off to get supper started and pack a few more boxes.....I didn't realize we had this much JUNK! LOL!

Hunter had been out watching his daddy cut the hay. That bunch of trees there on the left in the photo is actually an old building/cabin that is falling down.
Hunter was waiting for me to take a ride so that we could cool off. Don't worry he was not riding it by himself and he does wear a helmet. :)
I had a small gift certificate from Connecting Threads and used it to buy a few spools of threads and a couple of downloadable patterns. I really do like their thread, it is a little linty but not too bad. It is on sale right now for $1.74 a spool until August 15th. I plan on trying to order several more spools.
Between everything else I did get to sew 20 more Courthouse Steps. This makes me 40 of them right now. 
This is not even a third of what I would like to have to make the quilt. I just hope that I can stay interested in making that many. LOL! I think my log cabin quilt has 144 blocks in it and they actually seemed to go fairly fast considering the size of them. 
I'm hoping that we can get a break in this heat so that I can get upstairs and get back to quilting on my frame. I have several that needs to be done. Well I had better get off of here, I need to finish supper and get the milking done.
I used this little thing to practice on. I made it a while back out of fabric samples. It measures 24x30. 
No fancy quilting, just wanted to try this stuff out. I used Monopoly on top and Bottom Line in the bobbin and they worked perfectly. The only thing I think I will do differently when I do my bigger quilt is use a smaller needle. I didn't change the needle that I had in the machine and you can see the holes. Anyway, I am very pleased with it. Hopefully I will work on the binding tomorrow.
It is now almost 3:30am, I think I will bake me a little pizza, finish this movie that is on and then head to bed. Good night...
Here are 5 spools, 1200 yards each, of Connecting Threads Essential thread. I have used this a lot before and it works great with my machine. The colors are Turkey Red and Caramel. 
I have a few more spools on the way, should be here in today's mail. 
This tote is full of solid scraps! I have a bunch of those, so I need to make a scrap quilt out of solid fabrics. Actually there are enough of them in there to make a few quilts.
This wood crate is full of small scraps and strings. I have not sent it out to the new house yet because I am still finding small scraps that I have tucked everywhere.
It may not look like it but this tote has 84 yards of fabric in it. This is some of my large yardage pieces. I have more but could not fit anymore in the tote. 
Oh and this one has a bunch of UFO's in it. Trust me, I have more UFO's than this, I just haven't gotten to them yet. 
As you can see, Donkey is doing better. He is almost back to his old self again. He still walks slow and funny but hopefully that will get better over time.
