There are 9 circles that make up this sample quilt and I have challenged myself to use a different design within each circle. I started quilting yesterday and the machine has run like a dream since I sorted the tension out. The only issues I have had are operator related. This happens when I start daydreaming or go to fast when doing minute designs. I usually quilt to music to develop rhythm but find I get lost in the music at times and then lose track of where I am going. As machine quilting can take intense concentration I take a break every 20 minutes to refresh the eyes and stretch.
Since I have started quilting the first circle I have really been enjoying working on this quilt. This quilt may not be perfect as there are a fair few creative design opportunities, but I am doing my best and I find my quilting is improving with each block which is satisfying.

Gorgeous. You have done so much already!
Thank you Meg, I’m really enjoying working on this quilting.
Brilliant. It will be done by Thursday!?
Doubt it will be done by Thursday, still a lot of quilting to get done and I still need to do my challenge.
This is wonderful Sheila.
Thank Megan, I’m having so much fun quilting and learning so much at the same time.
