Keeping Busy...

I've been keeping busy with a LOT of quilting!  Guess a new machine puts  you in the mood.

This is my first donated to Quilts for Cure.  Just did simple straight stitching with a little serpintinein the borders.

Recipient unknown...unless my soon-to-be grandbaby is a Princess!  This one is also just straight lined quilting except for a little swirl in the borders.
ETA - YES, my new grandbaby is a Princess!  Ella joined us (a week late) on 4/24/18.

This is a floor quilt (for my house) for the new grand baby.  Again...straight stitching with serpentine in the borders.

This one's for ME.  Perfect for my feet/lap while on my recliner.  FMQ all the way on this one!  (don't look too closely...only my 2nd time!)

It's DONE...

The little guy's quilt is done!!  What started out as a quilt for a twin bed at my house...turned into a full size for his house!!  Go figure...


I didn't have enough of the blue for the entire backing, so I put an 18" green piece off-center.  It looks like I planned it that way...not that I didn't have enough fabric!

I did all the free-motion-quilting in one day, then finished up the borders (straight stitching with a walking foot, not FMQ) and the binding the next day.  Good thing my 1st attempt/try at FMQ is for a 2 year old who won't notice!!

The next day I made 2 pillowcases, burritio method (only way I'll make them).  As soon as DD/SIL puts up his double bed, I'll deliver this to him.  He's currently (finally) sleeping in his toddler bed...so the crib is going back to the nursery for Baby #2's arrival next month.

All fabrics were purchased from fabric.com.  THIS is the pattern I used.
