As a day without pictures would be like a day without sunshine (common in England in the winter!) here's some more of the vast collection of tops I own...
A couple of custom quilting jobs, I reckon - the autumn one is from a swap with Quilt Shoppe Forum; the fans are from a swap with EuroQuilt. If I had any idea how either of them should be quilted, it would make my life easier. I think the autumn one might just get echo quilted in the blocks, with maybe a general meander with some pumpkins in the rest of it. The fans, I've no idea. Echo quilting and fans? The problem is, fans are a pain for machine quilting - and let's just all have a good laugh at those who suggest I might hand quilt it!

what an interesting top with all the fans. i bet that'll be smashing once it's quilted up!
What about an all over baptist fan design for the fans? I think it would work -- and it could be stunning. I'd suggest hand quilting, but, well, nah -- I like not being laughed at.
Love the fans! Go one, you know you really want to hand quilt it...lol Seriously though a visit to your local long armer could be in order for that one.
Hand quilting? What's that???
How about zigzagging (technical term - vbg)over the separate parts of the fans and some general meandering for the background?
I am enjoying seeing all of your tops.
Congratulations on all your work you've done on your snails trail. Almost done!
