I finally finished piecing the top of the current project (working title: Cheers! Let's Hear It for the Apple-tini!) or some such nonsense like that.
I'm not overly happy with the finished product: Not enough contrast between background and foreground but the line quality is really some of my better technical work (you'd haveta see it up close to know). I'm hoping the quilting will offer some redeemingly quality to the work that I wasn't able to impart during the piecing process.
Guess you'll haveta wait-n-see!

Miles, do you fuse and then quilt? If not, how do you sew those fantastic curves?
Yes- quilting is (one of the) last things I do. I cut the pattern out with an exacto knife and fuse the pattern to the base fabric as I go. Then I cut the "windows" out, turn under the edges, glue in a new piece of fabric and then zig-zag the turned edges with monofiliment.
Miles...If you arent too happy with this piece you can send it to me and I will proudly hang it on the wall next to Sharon Schambers Angel quilt. :)
