This is a sort of follow up to my post: ScrapHappy October 2024: Recycled Hope .
Finally I am machine quilting the denim quilt I made last year which is currently called “What Direction Do I Go?”.
Here is up on the design wall before quilting:
Here it is in progress while I am quilting with the first color of thread (I used two colors):
Here it is partially finished (I am over halfway done with adding a second color of thread):
I am quilting it in a style I call “Organic Matchstick” quilting. Yes I totally made that phrase it. Matchstick quilting looks like this:

My quilting is a bit more “organic” with an occasional line touching or a little wiggle (why yes I of course planned that – ha!)
Here is the back of the quilt, I love the feel/texture of the quilting:
I cannot wait to finish it. I plan to do a “facing” instead of binding the quilt. Okay well back to work for me!
Postscript: Halloween Cuteness
Oh and here is some Halloween cuteness (yesterday was Halloween). We stopped over a friend’s house last night and they had two of their dogs in Hawaiian shirts dressed up as “Magnum. P.I.“ (if you remember that that 1980s show starring Tom Selleck):
Here are Pepi and Lewis doing their best Magnum, P.I. impersonations. Dolly the Aussie Shepherd was having no part in it!
Bet you can’t tell the dogs apart from Tom Selleck, right? Ha!
We had quite the giggle over the dogs’ costumes 🙂
