Free Motion Quilted Doll Quilt



Yup, I got brave and did the free motion quilting on this doll quilt for my granddaughter. The quilt is made of the scraps from the quilt that I made her a little while ago. You can click on the labels for this post to see it.

I didn't do that great of a job on the free motion quilting but it certainly was easier than I thought it would be. I had problems keeping the rhythm but I think I will get it in time. It was a lot of fun and I plan on doing a lot more of it. Also I need to keep my stitches an even length as much as possible but all in all it turned out great. At least I think it did. Don't look too closely at the stitches. LOL

The little bunny I got at a garage sale and thought I would put that in the package to send with the quilt. I think she will like that. Thanks for looking.

The Pink Quilt





Ok Amy here ya go.....you have been bugging me about this LOL.. It is finally done. I had a few issues with it while quilting it. I used some different spray glue and didn't like the way it gummed up my needle. Then I said I wouldn't use it again but I did on a doll quilt to go with this one.My thread kept breaking so it is taken
apart and I am soaking the glue off of it so I can put it all back
together and try it again.
This quilt is for a very special baby. I want to get the doll quilt done in the next couple of days so I can get them mailed out.

And as always you can click on photo to make it bigger. I wanted to show the back of it too.

Progress on the Pink Fabric


I have been working on the pink fabric that I got when I went to meet Amy. I have all the blocks sewn into rows but I don't have the rows sewn yet. I like how this is coming out. I took the blocks and turned them every which way till I was satisfied with the way it looked. I have also been working on the flying geese for the BOM. I really like how those are coming along. I think I have 7 of them done. I will show them later when I get a few more of them done. Everyone have a good day!
