Starting to Quilt the Pink String Quilt

I am making progress on the pink quilt.  I am now in the process of quilting it.  I stitched in the ditch to quarter the quilt and am now going around each of the blocks.  I thought this would be easy!  It's a lot harder to sew a closed square than it looks!  Seems like the 4th side ends up with a bunched-up corner.  Sometimes I leave it, sometimes I rip it out and redo it.  I'm also working with a flannel backing which I have not done before either.  It's very heavy and warm to work with. Quilting isn't really a summer time activity, but this quilt would be my first choice on a blustery winter's day!  After I get all the squares outlined, I want to fill in with some sort of flower, or design to fill in the center of the squares.  Then of course, do I quilt some design in the sashing strips or not.  And the big pink border needs to have some kind of quilting as well.  I really like doing that meandering quilting that I used on the blue star quilt.  I also might like to try some feathers.  I am trying to get this quilt finished by Sept. 15 for the Quilt Show here in town.  I am going to enter the Kalaidascope quilt, the Dino quilt, and this pink one.  They asked me also if I could enter the Sampler Quilt I gave to Linda.  I'm still thinking on that one.

Making progress in the quilting.
