Wednesday WIP - Bird & Shop Hop

I really had great hopes of getting a lot of quilting done over the long weekend.  My hopes and reality didn't quite meet up.

I did sneak this project into my bag for Saturday's road trip and stitched down most of a bird.

And I spent far too much time quilting the shop hop blocks after I'd decided to try a new-to-me variation of quilt as you go.  Which allowed me to over-quilt (as I am prone to do anyway) and use all the very cool varigated threat that I've been collecting.  Then at some point I decided to buy a new darning foot and get serious about practicing my free motion quilting.  There were really only 2 sections that were so bad I felt compelled to pick them out.  It's currently in the washing machine.  Being as how there are more things that I dislike about this quilt than I like, I decided to cut my losses & skip the planned borders leaving me with a 52" square which is a dandy size for a baby quilt.
