The top photo is the finished quilt. I saw this variation on Google images and thought it was a unique way to use a jelly roll race quilt. I quilted it on my DSM in a Baptist Fan design. This was the first time I had tried this and really enjoyed it, something about the rhythm of the stitching. This quilt will probably go in the guilds QOV project.
I just have to share my latest acquisition for my sewing room. I recently visited my daughter in the Kansas City area and she asked what I would like to do while there. I demurred for a bit, then admitted I would love to see the IKEA store, which has opened there in the last year. She, as well as the granddaughters, thought that was a great idea. ( I usually ask to go to JoAnns). We made a day of it, with Swedish meatballs in the cafeteria, followed by a leisurely trip through the store. Amazing! I could do an entire post about the store, but will desist. Suffice to say, I sent some American dollars to Sweden. Here was my main purchase, these basket racks that fit under my ironing table.
They now hold my WIP's (works in progress) and give me more storage in some wasted space under that table. A win-win for the sewing room. I also bought two LED lights, one battery operated and one electric. Both are clip-on style and are already in use.
Here is my dilemma for the week. I have started quilting on my DGS's graduation quilt. I am currently quilting the stars, but am unsure how to quilt these Homeward Bound blocks. They make a diagonal pattern across the entire quilt and I would like to emphasize that feature. Any ideas?
Any help will be appreciated. Meanwhile, I will keep on stitchin' those stars.

IKEA is fun!
