I really hope y'all aren't tired of seeing my
Starry Night quilt yet! The good news is I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! I promise I can count the number of blog posts remaining for this quilt on one hand.
I had a frustrating week with the quilt, but somehow powered through and made a huge amount of progress the last couple of days!

| Progress as of Sunday morning--working on the first blue lines on the sky, about half done. |
 |
| The top shows the first lines--about 1-1.5" apart, the left is the swirl quiltings, which has the second and third lines, and the green is finished (three lines of quilting between the first lines). |
I finished the first lines on the sky Monday and then finished the second lines yesterday--they were so much faster! So now I am adding in with the third and fourth lines in purple thread:
 |
| This section is DONE (unless I decide to add more to the moon...?). Isn't that texture awesome? |
I quilted almost all day yesterday (around the kid's demands, of course) and can't believe how much I got done! Hooo lawdy my arms and shoulders are tired! Here's how it looks now (up on the design wall while I fill more bobbins!):

| All that's left to quilt is the fourth lines on the swirls and the top left corner! |

You've done a great job interpreting this as you have and the quilting completes it just like Van Gogh's brush strokes, excellent :D
