What happened to quilting?

This project is partly basted and is safely posted on the design wall. It comes down once every week or two when I can sew a little at Tuesday's small group. My Simply Delicious tomato applique block rides along on tournament trips for a pleasurable stitch or two. And, I am not ever far away from those tiny circles, but mostly there is work and more work and paper grading....oh yeah, gotta finish the taxes tomorrow!
