Ready For Scary

After the littles went home today,  I restitched tipsy trees with the narrower sashing - so much better! -

attached the borders and got it sandwiched, pinned and ready for quilting. 

 Pins and batting and backing, oh my!

Now comes the scary part - how to quilt it without messing it up. 

It’s been awhile since I did any free-motion quilting - one of the benefits of having a buddy with a long-arm machine - so I sketched out some ideas and I think I have a plan. Now we’ll see if execution can match imagination . . .
