Update: As of 12:30 the quilt is finished and in the washer and dryer getting all crinkly! Woot! One project down and 100 more to go 🙂
I finished up the quilting on my Fancy Flocks quilt yesterday. I am quite pleased with how it turned out. I bought the stitch in the ditch Acufeed foot by Janome for my machine on Monday and was actually able to sew a straight line! Woot! Let me know if you want a more complete review of the foot and I would be happy to do one.
Here are a few pictures. I didn’t want the quilting to stand out, I wanted it to blend and I wanted it to add some nice details to the backing.
I laid out the quilt to get a better picture of the chevron detail on the back and suddenly I had a little helper – I’m not entirely sure…but I think she likes the quilt!
Now I have to tell her that she doesn’t get to keep it!
Today I am going to work on getting the binding at least sewn on to the back…but I would really love to get it completely done. Baby steps, don’t want to stress myself out – that isn’t what the holidays should be about.
Hope you’re having a great day!
Very nice – good luck with breaking the bad news to that cheeky face!
It is GORGEOUS!! You rock lady! And love your little helper! 🙂 I hope she is not too heartbroken when the quilt disappears.
Oh sigh, now you’re making me desperate for my big sewing machine! I love those FGs, they look fabulous!
Very cute! I think you would have lots of folks interested in your review of the foot.
Oh that come out so pretty and I am glad the foot worked out for you!
It is beautiful Melissa — great job!!
Love how the quilt turned out. I have been looing at buying one of those feet. It would be great if you would like to share your views on it.
She looks SO cute & happy in this photo. I love it!
And oh my – your floor is gorgeous! Is that Tigerwood? It’s very similar to what we have in our newly improved dining room (used to be a living room). 🙂
