Snowball quilt

I started quilting the Snowball quilt Sunday morning. I used a design that came with my embroidery machine. Each design takes 3 minutes. Then I had to walk back into the dining area so I could re-hoop the next block. Hubbykins said I probably spent more time walking back and forth and re-hooping.

Here is a close-up of the design.

The back of the quilt shows that the quilting needed something else but I didn't know what else so I washed and dried it.

Should I have connected the designs with cross hatching?

Happy quilting!

Lazy Heart Feb Blocks

Rhonda released the Feb Lazy Heart block early but I was beginning to to think I was never going to get a chance to do mine. The first block is Lacy's and the second one is mine. Fun stuff!

Rhonda used wool for heart. hmm I think I better look at wool next time I venture out.

Here is Jan and Feb blocks together.
