Quilted Baby Quilt

When I started getting to attend my quilting group again in September, there was a new member attending that I got to know. She was attempting to make her first quilt, and it was for her first Great Grandchild! Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? 😃 Well, this little lady sewed up a beautiful machine appliquéd quilt with heart blocks, and finished the top Tuesday during our quilting group... Anyway, I invited her to my house to try her hand at quilting it on Sadie...She was too timid to try to actually quilt it herself, but she did help me decide how to go about quilting it for her. It came out really cute, I thought, and she was thrilled. Today she came back over and I showed her how to apply the binding on the machine, then we both worked at hand stitching the binding to finish it. She is so pleased! Here's a pic of the quilt when we took it off the quilting machine Tuesday evening. This was the first time I had quilted Minky...It was not as bad as I was afraid it would be to quilt... Just used a little less tightness on the rollers and clamps and loosened the top tension just a little bit! And of course floated the top. Overall, it was a great learning experience for me... And her! 

Now to get back to my Be Attitudes quilt top tomorrow!
