or a wall quilt.
I put those triangle corners on the back in case I want to hang this.

Bottom Line in bobbin, So Fine in top until it ran out about halfway through- YIKES!
I don't think there is anyway to estimate how much is left on a partial spool, especially with the finer threads. It seems anytime I'm sure I'm going to run out and have a back up spool ready. I have enough and don't need the back up.
But when, like yesterday, I looked at the spool and thought 'yah, I'll have enough....' I don't.
Luckily, I had a cone of a Connecting Threads Essential Pro and it matched amazingly well.

I'm half done with the diagonal lines (3/4 inch apart) on the Small Treasures quilt. It is taking for.e.v.e.r. I timed myself and it was 3 hours marking and sewing the lines-just straight lines amazing.
I should finish that tomorrow and will post a finish picture.
and while on the subject (sorta) of time. I timed how long it took me to hand stitch the binding to the Spring runner above. One solid hour! I sat at the table and didn't watch TV or have a bathroom break or anything.
I think that's a long time.
I'm timing stuff because I've had a few requests for custom quilts-made from start to finish. I'm not sure I want to do this. So I'm trying to figure out how long it takes and how much I'd have to charge to make it worth it to me.
I have a feeling it will be more $ than most would be willing to pay.
But I want to be able to say,
"Do you see this runner? It took me 1 hour to sew the binding to the back.
