Work in Progress - Keep On Dreaming Quilt

 I pressed Heat 'N Bond Lite to the wrong side of the fabric.  I sketched some hearts on the paper side of the dark pink fabric and stars on the yellow.

 Cut them out.

 I drew a little sketch of the way I want to press them onto the background fabric.

 Peeled the paper off the back of the fabric.

 I was planning to place the stars exactly in the center of the hearts, but as I placed them on the hearts they looked so cool off center. I like it!

 Pressed them in place.

 Next I picked the thread colors. 

I chose the dark grey thread for stitching on the black fabric. I like it better than black on black. You will see why, when I post the completed project on Sunday.

 Long wavy stitching lines on the center blue area.

 I wiggle line stitched on the hearts

and stitched swirls in the background of the star fabric.

I couldn't finish it all tonight.  I will finish the stars and the black and white parts tomorrow morning and then bind it. My "Keep On Dreaming" quilt is based on a musical inspiration for the Project Quilting Challenge Number Two.  Keep On Dreaming is my brother's song and I posted the song on Tuesday. 

I quilted on my project quilting at the end of my quilting day, today.  It's the end of my work week, so I quilted longer than a few minutes... actually, I quilted a couple hours and will quilt more tomorrow.  So my Minutes for Me - while it was wonderful to play on my quilting machine, it delayed our Friday night dinner. I had nothing ready when my husband got home.  But I made dinner in about 5 minutes! We had meatloaf, leftover potatoes, and a salad.  We had my frozen meatloaf squares.  When I make a big meal, I freeze some of it for just such an occasion.  

My frozen Meatloaf Squares saved the day! 

Thank goodness!

Enjoy your day!
