It’s done. The ORBC-quilt is done. It took about nine hours to quilt. I’ve never quilted anything that big or quilted anything that heavily, but I love the result. The texture in this quilt is so great, and it’s hard to stop stroking across it with my fingers. It’s also the first time I tried not to prewash the fabric before piecing it, I think it crinkles better when washing afterwards, but I don’t like the feel and smell of the fabric when sewing and quilting it unwashed, so I think I’m going back to prewashing
After finishing the ORBC quilt, the “on the spot” quilt seemed so easy, and it ran through my sewing machine like a knife trough hot butter. 
It’s been such a kick to get some UFO’s out of the way, and I think I’m going to try and get some more WIP’s done. So hopefully there will be more reruns throughout the summer.
Have a nice day

Looks like you're on a quilting roll!! So getting going on your wip's is a genius idea, you'll have them all quilted up in no time at all!!
I always prewash all my fabrics, regardless of what is recommended (or not)! Your quilt looks very pretty, makes me want to finish my quilt too!
They are both wonderful! I especially love you 'on the spot' quilt.
I just love the ORBC quilt. I was a part of that group too and only just finished mine.

We've had a lot going on this summer but I was determined to complete it. I'm also trying to get a few other projects completed that I'd started some time back.
I really like the quilting you did and may do something like that on the project I do using the remaining 12 blocks I have. Great work!
ps. Found you via Carina's blog and your comment re: what she doesn't like about blogs : )
