Students love to procrastinate. Today is the last day for them to submit work for the semester. I was all caught up as of 10 am, so anything that is submitted now can freaking wait. Procrastination on their part does not make an emergency on my part.
I spent most of the day at the long arm working on Star Surround.
I am working my way across the whole quilt so I remain consistent. These blocks are huge. I have to roll the quilt back and forth in order to quilt SID around the edge of the block.
I spend a lot of time thinking and thinking. I don't want to quilt something that I will just end up ripping out. I am second guessing my choice of thread, but I am NOT ripping it out.

Do NOT second guess yourself! The quilting is freaking amazing!!!
I FMQ on my domestic machine and question those big block patterns too - just so hard to work an entire block. I think you are fine with your thread so relax. It is going to be awesome!
The quilting is beautiful; I am in awe of your straight lines. I agree on the subject of ripping: better not!
..and you call yourself a learner! That is looking super, cant wait to see the finish.
This is looking stunning, so you are clearly making good choices!
Its easy to second guess yourself...its harder 'going' with it! It does look beautiful!
Very creative quilting designs for the stars!!
Lovely quilting designs--very complimentary
I think it's lovely. I can see why you would second guess your thread choice because they are such high contrast choices but I'd say take that high contrast as a challenge and really go with it. If you're second guessing you're outside your comfort zone (good thing in my opinion) and I'm sure you'll rise to the challenge!
I think it looks AMAZING!! I really like the designs that you have chosen for the star points. And - just out of curiosity - if you were to change the thread color - what color would you choose instead? - ;))
