Quilted!

I finished quilting this quilt this afternoon. I hurried up and made the binding and have it attached. I just need to hand sew it on. I used loops for the quilting this time. This quilt gave me some trouble earlier in the week. Well, my thread was giving me trouble because I was using the little thread guild on a big spool of thread. Every so often when I was quilting it would pull the thread underneath. I changed the needle, adjusted the tension, and was frustrated until I figured out what I had done wrong. Live and learn. I knew that thread guide was for bigger spools, I just wasn't using it. Sometimes you just have to go back to the basics.

We're off to go camping this weekend, so maybe I'll have time to finish the binding.

4 Spools of Thread Later...

I finally finished quilting this quilt. I used the pebble quilting technique which was very labor intensive and used so much thread. I like how it turned out, but this will probably be the only quilt that I use pebble quilting on. I got the binding attached last night. Hopefully I can get the hand stitching done quickly.

Finished Quilting

I actually finished quilting this quilt last Tuesday. I sewed the binding to the edge and am now working on hand sewing the binding. I also worked on a secret Easter project over the weekend. I'll have to show that after Easter. I started a new quilt last night too, maybe I'll have some pictures tomorrow of that one. These are some of the quilting/binding pictures, and one showing all the fuzz that gets into my machine from quilting (this was the second time I cleaned it out during this quilt).

Quilt Progress

I finished quilting Troy's quilt on Sunday.

I started the binding yesterday and got it all machine sewn to the quilt. Now it's just the hand sewing, which will probably take me a while to finish (only 290").
