started quilting the quilt

I have been machine quilting the quilt a little each day. I decided on using the cream color thread since I am just doing a meandering design. Some day I will try out something fancier and use a more decorative thread to show it off.

I can dream, can't I?

Some good advice I read, said to mentally divide the quilt into four sections (in half crosswise and lengthwise) and work out from the middle, one section at a time. I am sort of doing that...getting the "hardest to do" center areas first.
I enjoy this part, looking at all the fabrics as I sew.  And, I see I didn't bury as many of the points as I thought I did.

This has happened to me before...I think the flannel does it. A scrap clings to the back and without me realizing it's there - it gets caught up in the quilting stitches.

I think I can snip it real close to the stitching and tease it out of there rather than have to rip out stitches.

Not like last time when a corner of the quilt got flipped under and stitched down. I had a lot of stitches to pick out that time!
