WIP-it Wednesday...

 ...and I'm happy to be machine quilting again!

I've probably made more work for myself, but the Deco Royale quilt really called for something than a simple squares and rectangles. I typically quilt along the fabric's motifs, but several of the fabrics in the quilt are marbled or have tiny patterns. I looked up some art deco designs and picked a couple that would be interesting, but not too complex.

Here's a first look at the machine quilting for the quilt:

I've quilted about 1/3 of the quilt. There's quite a bit of set-up for some of these patterns and a lot of quilt wrestling. I've been stopping around mid-afternoon to work on something else and to rest my shoulders.
