Batting, Basting and Swirly Circles

I wanted to share how to join batting together. I always have a lot of odd sized pieces left over, and this way I don't waste them. I use my stitch 11 above, a zig zag that stitches across the zig and the zag. Just place your pieces close together and zig zag join them.



The result looks like the picture above. This stitch joins them very smoothly.


And here's a look at my basted quilt.


I'm quilting my circles with swirls. I love making these swirls, it's so much fun. I'm also going to add wiggly lines on the diagonal. I hope to have the quilting finished this evening.

Around the Zoo

I started a new baby boy quilt this weekend and I'm calling it "Around the Zoo". I am attaching the circles to the squares with an applique stitch. I love all the fun blues and greens, and all the prints I'm using have circles in them.

Here's a close up of this cute giraffe.

And an update on my Soul Blossoms modified bento box quilt - I finished quilting it Friday and am working on hand sewing the binding on. I will show the finished product as soon as I get that done.
