8 broken needles and after working on the challenge block. Somehow the fabric didn't accommodate the sharp needles.

The globe went on my machine and I had to traipse half the city to buy a new one….

The the quilting began to pucker on the first Rhino….. OK, so after spending a week on marking the quilt, I've abandoned the idea and now quilting the background in horizontal lines…..

The quilting on the Rhino is about 16th of an inch apart… so I needed to quilt part of the rhino and then the part of the background that accompanies it.
