My Quilting!
First I will start this blog saying that I have mainly sewn clothing... I have made a few quilts over the past 10 years, mainly for friends as they had babies. My two favourite quilts are one I did for my Gramma for her 90th birthday and one for a friend who adopted a 6yo a few years ago.
First Quilt of 2010: Carebears
Done, waiting baby, so it can be labelled!
This quilt top was made by my 7yo daughter! I did the quilting and binding. I was going to try my hand at free motion quilting, but chickened out and ended up using my walking foot.
Second Quilt: Airplanes & Teddies
Quilt top finished and pressed! Its 73" by 97"!

| Assembled Quilt Top |
This quilt was started years ago (before my son was born, he's turning 10 in January), but I'm making it for my nearly 5yo. I got the "rows" done last summer (the last status update), but got side tracked by making a kilt last fall. Today I finished the quilt top...

| Fabric for backing |
Tonight I hope to iron the quilt backing, and start prepping it for basting.
Third Quilt: A Nautical Quilt
This is still in the box, but I plan to do some block assembly tomorrow.
Next step, measure and assemble backing... Hopefully tonight.
ETA: And I added photos!
