I decided to go ahead and put Wood Chips on the frame and quilt it.
Although the long arm only make a good stitch going forward. I'm pretty sure that I need a new encoder for the y-axis as that is where the stitches are undesirable...sometimes short and sometimes long and sometimes barely there. Since DH's accident I'm not sure he could lift the sewing head and at 50 awkward pounds...I'm not going to risk lifting it either. That encoder is the one that sits under the carriage the head sits on. Any further investigation will wait, probably until the new year. In the meantime, forward sewing it is! and I'm grateful that the long arm is still stitching!
I decided to bind in red as I thought the little pop of color would compliment the overall look. The serpentine quilting looks like the right choice for this design...and forward sewing! Yay!

Awesome scrappy quilt with a perfectly lovely quilting design, Pat!!
Love it! The neutral grays with the bits of color scraps is fresh and fun. Wonderful quilting.
Oh, I love that! The quilting is great for the design, and so is the red binding. Hope DH is getting better each day!
I am just always amazed at how much you accomplish. I like your newest..the wavy quilting is perfect. How's hubby coming along? Better than expected, I hope!
Great quilt and interesting pattern that uses small strips of scraps.
I like how you made the inserted strips scrappy! Great idea! The red binding and the quilting were perfect finishing touches!
Love those pops of colour in the shades of grey. Beautiful!
That turned out great. Sorry about the machine problems still! I am with you that would be heavy to lift. Make him heal fast ;-)
