It has been one busy month of quilting. And when I saw quilting I mean free motion quilting. I have been wrestling the zigzagged quilt through my machine. I have been posting many pictures of this progress on instagram and some of those pictures are what I will share now.
It all started here on February 9th with stitching in the ditch of the zigzags. I didn't want to lose them in the quilting process.
Followed by the start of FMQ that continued on and on and on.
During this time my machine and I got in a couple arguments. She had a few good cleanings and adjustments.

I also went through 4 needles and over a spool of thread.
But luckily the quilting is done. I had two good friends (Suzie and Gus) test out the quilting out and say that it is good to go.
Now that I have wrangled the quilt back from them it is time to work on to binding. I am hoping to have this quilt done very very soon so I can start something new :) OK fine so I can work on my projects I have already started and my bee blocks that are due this month.
Linking up to the check in day for a lovely year of finishes.
How big is your chevron quilt? I am working on one as well and I am apprehensive about trying to quilt it on my Janome because the throat on it is small, but I see that yours is as well so I guess I no longer have an excuse! :)
