In other news, I have the fan border attached to the House Medallion quilt. I didn't get them done perfectly, but this quilt was one that I was practicing different techniques on anyway.
Next I put on the last round of borders on the quilt. All the fan blade tips have been appliqued down. Next I will be appliqueing flowers in each of the four corners to round out the quilt. For an everyday-type quilt, this one sure taught me a lot! My applique skills from the center blades compared to the outer blades are like night and day in quality!!!
I went to the local guild meeting on Monday. I left with five charity quilts to quilt for them AND I somehow am now the membership leader. lol Nothing like going into something full blast, eh? lol
Here are two of the quilts on my frame:

I am doing a meandering star pattern on four of the quilts because they all have a patriotic theme to them.
I am so happy to have this chance to practice my short arm quilting set-up without all the pressure of doing it for a customer or for a very important quilt of my own. The lady from the guild was just thrilled to have these quilts done in any way that they'd be usable! She's had them sitting around for a year or more, she said.I have used three bobbins up, this morning, on the charity quilts. I think I will go eat lunch and do some hand work that I always have sitting around. Or perhaps the creative prompt *WISH* from last Friday! Enjoy your day! Happy sewing!!!

I like the way your fan quilt turned out. Nice work! How great of you to offer to quilt the tops for your guild.
I love quilting stars-used to be my favorite doodle pattern when I was in school, supposed to be listening to the teacher. Pretty work there! And I LOVE the Dresden Plate quilt!
Love the way the dresden plate is turning out!!!! It's come a long way!!!

Woohoo! ELEVEN of you have posted so far. I will keep with the December 1st deadline. Be sure to tell your friends to enter! lol
Thank you everyone!!!
At first I thought you might be crazy for volunteering to quilt 5 quilts. But, you are right, the lack of pressure for practicing your skills was a good idea.
