I finally got around to quilting the windmill baby quilt. Since it's 40" wide, it fit on one width of backing fabric, but only if I quilted it on my domestic machine. There wasn't enough extra width to load it on the long arm. I gave it a loose meander to keep it soft and drapey. It's been a while since I FMQ'd on my home machine, and I'm out of practice! My loops aren't as smooth as when I do them on the long arm.
This is another of those projects that my village helped with. Julie sent a couple of the fabrics in the top, and Cherie provided the batting and the backing. Thanks so much, friends!
This little quilt will go to a young family at nearby Luke Air Force Base. PCQ recently added Luke to our vetted charities, and it's nice to have a destination for smaller donation quilts.

Windmill is one of my favorite scrappy block patterns. This baby quilt is so sweet, and I'm sure the young military family will love it.
