I'm late to DWM but do have progress to report. Over the weekend I got the Star baby quilt for my daughter's best friend pinned at last, and set to quilting it yesterday.
I was lucky to find a match for this Kona Flesh in a door prize Aurifil thread pack. Wavy lines randomly spaced was my plan. I quilted a number of rows before realizing that the horizontal lines I thought I was stitching were actually vertical. Oh well!
Some rows I sewed to overlap and make a ribbon. Mom-to-be is a week overdue and hoping to deliver soon. Meanwhile, binding has been made and attached and last night I started stitching it down while watching TV, a process whereby it seems I really only stitch during the commercials!
I've also been getting a few stitches in a new cross stitch project, which I started on the plane to NOLA.

Great baby quilt. The quilting is so cute.
Congrats on all the progress. Those wavy lines really add some nice texture to the quilt. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving.
I really like your choice of wavy lines for quilting and I don't think vertical versus horizontal matters at all.
Such soft, pretty colors on this little star quilt! I'm sure the mom-to-be will love it :)
Cute baby quilt. I've gotta try the line quilting, I love the look.
