This wallhanging has been hanging on the wall on the basement since last summer or fall and I finally put the quilt sandwich together and have been quilting on it. I feel so much more comfortable with my machine quilting now and wish I had worked harder at it ten years ago or more. However, better late than never. 
The setting triangles will be quilted as the one shown above and I still have to figure out what I will do for the 3 inch border which I feel should be some sort of straight lines, also.
Don't know if I will be able to do this one or not. Want to make a cross stitch sampler and this is 28 to the inch linen which is done by working over two threads making it 14. Well, I guess my eyes aren't quite as good as they used to be as I see when it is enlarged that there are some pretty obvious goofs. I may order some fabric that is not quite as irregular as linen even though linen is so beautiful. I have always loved samplers and ordered a pattern, fabric and floss from a place on the web. They certainly filled the order quickly. 
And, my granny squares are done. I ended up putting two rows of the white around each one which I like a lot. I have started putting them together, then will put a row of dc all around the entire afghan and maybe a picot in the center dc of each set. So I am getting a few projects finished and almost finished. (Click to enlarge)
