One Monthly Goal in May

Last month's goal was to move my Mini Wonders table runner on, and I did. In fact it moved further than I had expected; I finished the top.

Mini Wonders: pattern by Sheila Christensen, published in Make Modern

This month my goal for the challenge with Patty at Elm Street Quilts is to finish it completely:

This is what it looked like four hours ago

and this is now:


I've quilted in all the ditches around the large triangles that make up the hexagons, and between the borders - doing the last one now.


















I plan to free motion quilt with light grey 50 wt thread on the white and light grey background, with dark grey 50 wt on the darker greys and hand quilt with big stitches on the colours. Unfortunately I don't have the right colours in my stock of 12 wt cotton. I do however have hundreds of colours of DMC stranded cotton. Has anyone experience of quilting with stranded cotton? I'm rather afraid that the strands will separate, or not be strong enough. I'd really be grateful for your advice on this.

Meanwhile it's back to the ditches!
