Quilt Progress: Happy Trails

Not much time quilting....
 I've finished quilting the colored trail. I'm quilting it on my treadled Necchi BU (from the late 1940's in 1919 irons).
 I love the way gold thread looks on so many quilts.  I'm using a gold  Fil-Tec Glide (from bobbincentral.com), 80137 Bright Gold.  I love the way it glistens and shines on quilts.
I am going to spend some time tickling Brent's gold, caramel, and chocolate quilt with colliding feathers this evening too.
The monsoons have brought some moisture to quite a few places in the state.  I'm praying we get some rain this evening--because I really need to pull some more weeds, and it's been much too long since we had some rain at my house (although last Wednesday there were huge puddles at the post office a mile away!) I hope we will be a bit luckier this weekend.

I'll link to:

I love your quilt. Those are my colors. I like the way you have quilted it too. How wide are the colored strips? Will you do a tutorial?

Very pretty feathers that you have made to this lovely trails quilt.

The happy trails do certainly have a happy feel. Love your feathers in the buttery gold thread, Dora!

Those are both amazing, Dora! I am constantly amazed at what you can do with a treadle machine. Whoop whoop!!
