Emmy's Quilt Almost Done

9/9/2012

0 Comments

 
Yesterday, I had a meeting that lasted most of the day so I wasn't able to get too much sewing done but I did a pretty good job today!  I got all the shirts interfaced and finished the appliqued blocks.

Then I got all the pieces in the top stitched together

Then I pressed, cut and stitched the borders and backing fabric.

I loaded the quilt layers onto the quilting machine and quilted it.  Thankfully, my quilting machine mostly cooperated today.  I only had two broken threads throughout the entire quilt!  I am thinking more and more that it has more to do with the tension on the rails combined with the stretchiness of the fabrics.

Once I was done quilting, I took it off the machine (shown below).  Then I cut out the basting tacks and trimmed any loose thread ends.

Overall, I think it came out really cute!  All that's left now is to make and stitch on the binding which I will try to do tomorrow.  Then I will package up the whole order and ship it to Danielle - I'm sure she's super anxious to finally get her three quilts!
