Friday Finish
It keeps raining every time I try to take the quilt outside for some pictures, so here is my indoor attempt for your pleasure:
This quilt is for a very dear friend of mine from medical school years that just had a baby. I'm a little late getting it to her, because she had her baby 6 weeks early! That'll teach me not to procrastinate.
This is my first time using my new machine for FMQ on a real quilt. I practiced for a while on scraps and then decided to go with a very familiar and easy design for me, so that I could easily get the feel for my new machine. I stuck with loopy lines with some hearts added in there. It took me a little longer to quilt than usual, because I was being really cautious, but I'm thrilled to be back at it again.
This quilt is headed out in the mail tomorrow. Now it's time to get caught up on some Bee blocks and another baby quilt. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend. I'm linking up to TGIFF and FMQ Friday.

I love these colors. So happy and bright. Now I want to sew something orange.... : )
ReplyDeleteI like the meandering loop with the occasional heart. It's perfect for a child's quilt and looks really soft and cozy.
Is the quilt to Nancy Bradford?
