Yeah. I finally did it. I was under pressure to get a quilt done for a baby shower. I had pieced the top a few months ago. I bit the bullet. I pulled out my fusi-boo and my top and backing fabric and ironed away. Then I put on the walking foot and did some straight (or semi-straight) lines to quilt it together. It was not as horrible an experience as I anticipated. It inspired me to get started on a quilt for one of my granddaughters. I had put the sandwich together but had not quilted it. Stitching in the ditch is not as easy as it looks.
Anyway I took pictures of the baby quilt. I used a max and whiskers by moda charm pack and then a yard of coordinating fabric for the backing. Hopefully my next top will look a little better. First time with binding also. That turned out pretty well.
I only managed one of my FW quilt blocks. We were on vacation and last week my allergies were so bad I couldn't breathe. Dang the heat. Hopefully when I get back into town next weekend I can put more together. I am getting behind.
Congrats, Sue, on a wonderful finish! It's a cute baby quilt!
