Quilting grey on grey (green in the photo so you can see the pattern) has been a surprisingly soothing process. It's a swirly pattern that I enjoy but have struggled to stitch evenly; I tend to have tight stitches in the center and really (really) long stitches on the outside of the swirl. This time I've been able to focus my attention on moving the fabric at a steady pace instead of focusing on the placement of the swirl.
I've also been pleased with how smooth the grey squares finished up. A few of the unquilted squares were really puffy and I was anticipating puckers or pleats - but most of the fabric eased out as I quilted over it. I pulled out a single pleat and any of the faint ridges will blend in the first time the quilt is washed.
I've dug through my fabrics and picked out binding. I'll have to start cutting that next.
But now... back to burying threads.
