Completed Quilt #1 in series of two

Quilt #1 is completed

Double click on photos to see close ups.

I love what I was able to do free motion sewing on the border (top photo)
with variegated thread, the round curves seemed to balance out
all the rectangles in the quilt. The backing is a good quality fabric and is very soft. (middle photo) and the completed baby (bottom photo)!

Quilting IS FUN!!

Mostly Green with Borders

Quilt #2 with borders on.

Tomorrow I'll have some free time around noon. I plan to take both quilt tops to the quilt shop along with my new backing fabric, batting and safety pins and use the large tables there to sandwich both quilts. Then I will be ready to quilt the tops. I plan to do "stitch in the ditch" with my new "stitch in the ditch" foot. It's not a "walking foot", so I hope it works on the thicknesses of these pieces.

I was so tired tonight (all day really from my weekend of non stop sewing) that I could hardly keep my eyes open. But I wanted to get these ready so stayed awake to do it. Now I can still get to bed early. There is something very rewarding about watching these quilts taking shape. We can call this one "mostly green"!
