Calendar Update VII

Just popping in real quilt to report that I finished quilting the second panel of my liturgical calendar project!

This panel took about nine quilting-hours over seven days, and having the more frequent thread color changes made it fun. I've since taken a few days break from the project, but hope to get the final panel basted today. There is the largest swath of color yet in this one - green. Once I get that done, I think the quilting will be smooth sailing. Fingers crossed I can maayyybbbee get the panel quilted by Thanksgiving? Time will tell....
