Measuring out the inner border fabrics.
Arranging blocks for the fence rail border.
Sometimes you have to pound point seams when several pieces of fabric all merge to one specific point, otherwise there are hard little knots that a long arm can't quilt through.

Loving the look of the Water Lily quilting pattern in spring green thread!
The Water Lily pattern quilted out large and bold.
Sewing on the embroidered binding using my blind hem foot (#5) on my Bernina 240.
