Completed Baby Quilt Top
Yesterday I spent some time piecing the blocks together for the baby quilt.
Laying out the blocks was the most fun part of the project… they are totally random.
I realized after sewing them together that there’s a slight lack of yellow in the upper right corner, but I’m just going to call that a design feature!
Here’s another closeup. These are such great fabrics!
I also tried my hand at actually quilting one of my blocks from quilt class. Notice how there are no pictures of it. Let’s just say that it didn’t go so well. I tried quilting the block with straight diagonal lines, but the fabric got all wonky because the feed dogs would pull too much fabric through on the bottom. I either need to get a walking foot or a darning foot for my sewing machine before I quilt this thing. I’d love to quilt this with stippling (sp?), but am hesitant to try it on a gift quilt for the first time.
