Baby quilt all quilted

Baby quilt is quited!

I did loops and hearts. Heavy on the loops, light on the hearts. It's hard to make the hearts upside down! Gotta work on that. Also, had to try and avoid spots with lots of seam allowance underneath. The machine didn't like those spots too much.

Have the binding cut and stitched together, just gotta get it on the quilt.

Some doodle quilting

Had to put a practice thing on the frame so the sewing machine guy could come look at the machine. After he left, I figured I might as well practice some!



This is something I doodled on paper the other day and wondered how it would look quilted.







Some leaves. They're kinda wonky, but not so bad. I kinda like them! I do want to be able to be in control of my leaves. The Pajama Quilter says I have to be bossin' the leaf around and not let the leaf boss me around. I'm workin' on it.

Some flowery stuff.

Dragonflies!
Dragonflies up close.
Feathers. I really like these! I'm getting better at these. Need to practice different sizes, feathering around shapes, etc.
I really like this. It's easy and look so nice. I have heard it called mussel shells, but I think it looks like peacock feathers.
Hearts and loops.
More peacock feathers.

Quilting options

Here are the options for quilting the baby quilt.

Loops. This is my best thing. It's easy and I'm always happy with how it comes out.

Loops with hearts. This one is more challenging, but I'm getting better.

Dragon flies! Not as hard as I thought.

Swirls.

Baby quilt progress

Baby quilt is coming along!

The top before border.

Here is the border, ready to sew on.

A closeup of the border. It may not be laying there in the right direction.....

Here are the leftovers. These are blocks that I discarded (just couldn't get the points right...), leftover triangles from stitching and trimming, and leftover squares from overcutting. I think I may make a whole nother quilt!



And one of my lovely assistant. Note the peanut butter (she calls it mmmmmbutter) on the cheek. You should see her leg.....

Baby quilt coming along

Working on this baby quilt some more. Have finished all the blocks, now on to sashing! These pics were taken with the 'old' camera cuz my husband skipped town with the new one. I use the old one now more than I did before we got the new one! Someone is always running off with the new one and leaving me stuck with the old one. Sheesh....
