Halfway Point, Safari Animals

 I've reached the halfway point in the quilting of the Safari Animals quilt.  That block those two green rulers are sitting on is the exact point of halfway.  Well, come to think of it, the middle of that block is the halfway point, meaning I am half a block past the halfway point, to be precise.  😄

The thread in that peach-colored area on the elephant print is Magnifico, a 40-wt. thread with a whole lot of sheen by Superior Threads.  A while back when I tried using it, it kept breaking.  This time, I held my tongue just right, and there were no breaks at all.  (Actually, I used the size 18 needle as recommended by Superior.  Turns out, they know what they're talking about.)
