I feel I’m making slow but steady progress on my Owl and Hare Hollow quilt, mainly because I’ve been busy with my bees, but also because if I hand quilt for too long it does seem to aggravate my neck, it doesn’t cause a lot of pain, just a niggle, but enough of a niggle to stop me sleeping…then I get grumpy!

Three weeks ago I had quilted fourteen squares and the sashing rings on nearly eleven…

Well I’ve now quilted sixteen blocks, including all the big sashing circles. That’s actually better progress than I thought! I’m almost a third of the way round too which is encouraging.

I’m rather enjoying quilting all these different sized circles, thinking up how I can incorporate one within the design. For example, on the embroidered block with a wheelbarrow of flowers, I’ve quilted round the wheel.
