Tulip Quilting in Progress

This photo is a small section of the quilt and looks like a composition unto itself. It is the section where I have accomplished the most quilting. I am in the middle of machine quilting and so far all is going well. This is such a scary part of the process. So much can go wrong at this point. The wonderful thing about working with fabric, needle and thread is that "stitches gone wrong" can be removed. It takes a while but usually all is not lost.
