Quilting Practice

 So first up today I decided to piece a batting for the practice quilt.
 Then of course the kids wanted to swim.  We fished this snake out of the pool.
 I've seen this paisley design as a back ground on a lot of quilts.  I think it will take some practice.
 This was a small fan variation.  The designs are so small that the stitches look huge.  Eventually it occurred to me that I should turn down the stitch length.
 The border was getting a little branching vine.
The top is called brain coral and the bottom is pebbling.  I have been looking patterns up form Leah Day's web site.  I think the quilt is about 1/3 done, so there is still plenty of room for more practice.
