Emily’s Quilt

Yay!  I’m so excited how this quilt turned out.  I ended up buying a new walking foot after Natalie’s quilt was finished.  I was so nervous to quilt the darn thing that I kept putting it off.  So one night I just forced myself to start. 

Besides changing the walking foot I did a few other things different than last time:  I changed the stitch length on my machine to 3, taped the backing to the floor before pin basting, and pinned the heck out of it!  I can’t believe the difference. 

I did still make a few mistakes of course, don’t tell Emily. ha.  I somehow managed to get the backing crooked and that ended up making one end of the backing a little short.  All in all I’m super pleased with the quilt and think it’s pretty darn cute. 

Don’t ask me why I choose so much pink.  I don’t even really see Emily as a ‘pink’ kind of girl, she’s more blue, but you know.  The quilt measures about 36″x46″ and hand stitching the binding only took me a little more than one movie this time.

I’m sure there will be more quilts to come.

    Ooooooh, it’s absolutely gorgeous! I love the simplicity of the front. It’s the perfect way to showcase those fabrics. And the pieced back — that’s my favorite way of doing them!

    I am really loving the strippy baby quilts that you make. They are darling and I imagine are a pretty quick finish.
