Just four days ago....

I loaded this quilt onto the long arm so that when I was ready to go, all I needed to do was quilt.

 

 

Today was the day.

 

 

I free motioned an echoed loop over the whole panel/borders.

 

 

I think the quilting brought an ordinary panel to life.

 

The best part was finding out how easy it was to work with minky. That's what I used for the back of this quilt...a soft, yellow minky.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh!  What better to use for the back of a baby quilt.  It is so luscious. 

 

I have another minky backed baby panel planned, but can't put it on the long arm just yet.  I am waiting for my customer to drop off the backing to her king-sized t-shirt quilt.  I am hoping she brings over minky as it was really easy to work with.  Don't know why I waited so long to give it a try. (Well, actually, I do know.  The fuzz I thought would drive me crazy)

 

I have the bindings made for my Quilts of Valor quilt and this panel quilt (need to get them on) and even have the binding ready for the T-shirt quilt. ''

 

So, I guess I will leave the long arm free for the customer and get into my sewing room to get a couple bindings on. 

 

Happy quilting!!
