The chevron Buckeye quilt is now finished. It is bound with the flannel that is used for the backing. The quilting on this is freehand - yes, I did free motion quilting, my first voyage. It was extremely fun. I'd gotten my confidence by following a template on two earlier quilts, so I felt ready for free motion.
The quilting on this was done with a template. It was fun to do, but working from the back of the machine is very different from working from the front. I can see benefits of both.
At last all three baby quilts are ready for delivery. I will find some gift bags, wrap them up and hand them off to the grandparents - they can take it from there. I do hope that each family will remember to send a pic of their new little guy with his quilt; if they do, you can be sure to see them here.
I am linking with Finish It Up Friday over at Crazy Mom Quilts. She is showcasing a beautiful bag that looks just too scrumptious!
Happy Quilting, Friends!
2017 has been quite a prolific year. My girls, all their friends, and so many bloggers are all prepping for babies! So exciting! My favorite thank you is a photo of baby enjoying his/her quilt! I hope you get three!!!
ReplyDeleteThose are lovely! You did a great job on your free motion quilting! It is a daunting thing to try the first time. I still haven't done much because it just overwhelms me of it.
