One, Two, Buckle My Shoe...

I finished not one, not two, but three baby quilt tops! This last one was the most involved!! I need to add the words to Old MacDonald and then it will be ready for quilting! The wind didn't corporate for an outside picture so we went inside. I added t pictures of the other two tops as well.

I put the last seam in the top just after midnight, so I guess it can count as a Friday finish! Linking up with Finish it up Friday for the first time!!

Farm Friends in Progress

Quilting Practice

The closer the thread color matches the fabric the more my mistakes are hidden!

First Farm Friends Top Complete

My quilt holder suggested that I get the right angle so you can see the cows in the background.

Free Motion Quilting

This table topper was my first complete project with free motion quilting. I gave it to my grandma for her birthday. She told me she was proud of me. The star was a practice block for a interlocking quilt pattern.

Completed Top

I will post a few more pictures tomorrow.

Dresden Plates

I was back and forth between machine appliqué and hand appliqué. I know how I want it quilted so I was worried about the top stitching from doing it by machine but I ultimately decided to go with machine appliqué. I am glad I did, it is so much faster and I really like the top stitching.

Lesson Learned:
Leave the block flat while pinning it to prevent extra fabric from gathering behind the plate.
