I spent most of the month fighting with thread tension issues, which slowed this down quite a bit. I didn't make my May goal of finishing the quilt. However, over Memorial Day weekend, I worked out that my thread setup was contributing to the problem. Addressing that stopped the thread from winding around my needle. I still had some issues - I buried twelve sets of threads in one diamond alone (that's a lot of starts and stops). But the rest of it quilted up a lot faster.
The diamonds are done, as are the green squares. I've got the rest of the squares to go. So my goal this month is the same as last: get this quilted, bound and labeled.
