half quilted........

Well, I have the circle quilt half quilted!  I have to do other sewing today, so won't be able to work on it again - probably until Friday when I hope to finish the quilting and sew the binding on.
Here's a little peek at the quilting so far.  This is the first quilt I've quilted where I didn't do stippling, stitch-in-the-ditch, or straight line quilting.  I am very happy with the results so far!

I asked hubby what he thought about doing the binding in either the same fabric as the backing (the black mod-flowerish design from Oz) - or maybe the blue dot Denyse Schmidt for JoAnn's material I got the other day (there is no pink in this quilt, so the pinks are out of the question).  He suggested a solid?!  A solid?  This quilt has not ONE solid on it, LOL.  Should I divert from the plan and use a solid binding?  Or should I use the blue DS Quilts dots?  Or the black Oz print?  I'm leaning toward the black Oz print since I am quilting it in black thread, but the blue dots might be nice........

So, have you heard that the new DS Quilts fabrics are available at JoAnn's online now?  I think JoAnn's is going to be pleasantly surprised at the speed these fabrics will sell out!!!  (And wish they would have ordered ALL the prints in ALL the colors!)
