Little zz and big zz

Zigzag, that is.  Little zz (17" x 22") is quilted and bound.  And very sweet.

Big zz (95" x 95") is pinned and ready to quilt.  I would be less than honest if I didn't say that I am feeling...trepidation.  It is so much larger than the projects I've worked on lately and very heavy with its 2000 pins.  I chose to pin it every two inches to keep the fabric from shifiting and hopefully to keep it nice and square.  This is how each 8" block is pinned.

The first thing I will do is (free-motion) quilt the long lines between the red/green zigzags and the lighter ones. 

Even though I am feeling that trepidation, I am also excited.  Right now I am going to prepare my machine and then get started.

This might take awhile...
