Quilted and Trimmed (and music)

I have been quiet for a while.  I took my time and enjoyed quilting this quilt. The quilting is finished and the quilt is trimmed, ready for binding.  Of course that is another decision to make. I may let it "rest" a bit before I do that.

I love the quilting I did on this one.  It will have a lovely texture when the binding is added and it gets washed.  I think the on-point setting makes the quilt have an even more lively look. 

Here are some close-ups of some of the quilting.

Some of the quilting was done by creating a path as I went.  The bottom photo is a variation on the "Square Flower" (Thanks Lori Kennedy.)  I just wobbled the lines as I did it rather than making them straight. 

Ha ha... in the first close-up, I see that I need to trim some threads. The second one has a surprise quilted into the sashing. Do you see it? 

Here is an alternate photo of the full quilt.

I gave myself the gift of a new Kindle Paperwhite since I am doing a lot more reading.  So, in the near future I will be attempting to make a cover for it.  I hope to share that with you before long.  Of course, I am chasing various types of squirrels and sometimes falling into rabbit holes.
One such diversion is music.  Here is a link to a song file of me playing and singing.  This is rough and "raw" - I simply did it and recorded.  There was no "second take" and no editing.  (you are warned.)  The song was written by Merle Haggard with Freddy Powers and Willie Nelson.  According to Mr. Haggard, the only thing Willie contributed was the title line. 
This song was recorded by Merle Haggard with Janie Fricke singing background for him.

I tried to find a way to add a player for it that would play here. But I was not successful.  If you click the link it takes you to Google Drive.  There you will just need to click the play button to hear it. I think you may be able to download it -if you want, I don't mind.  Just don't sell it. (Ha ha, not that anyone would likely pay for it.)
