WIP: Fandango quilting

I've been a little MIA lately.  I had to go back to work three weeks ago and suddenly there is no time for quilting!  However, we are on Spring Break right now so I am trying to get some things done.  The boys have been really good lately, which helps!

I decided to quilt my Fandango quilt in sections.  I pieced the top into 5 smaller chunks and I plan to quilt each chunk, then use the quilt-as-you-go method to attach the larger pieces.  So far it is working out pretty well!  I have been quilting straight lines in all of the neutral spaces and all that stopping and turning would have been impossible with a bigger quilt.  I think it's going to work out great.

This is as far as I have gotten on section A:


Hopefully I can make lots of progress before school starts again next week!  I have another sister getting married and a nephew coming in August, but I like to do one project at a time, so it will be great to finish this and get started on something new! 

UPDATE!  I finished quilting this whole section.  I did some swirls in the border boxes and I traced the design of the fabric in the bigger pieces.  I like it!






Thanks to Lee for motivating me enough to have at least something to share for WIP Wednesdays!
