quilting project #1 is finally complete - a very mini quilt following jeni baker's warm cool design. the piecing went fairly smoothly. then came time to do some quilting which actually terrified me. once i figured out how to correctly install the walking foot on my machine it was quite easy. and finally the binding - it took me 4 weeks to decide on how i was going to sew that strip of fabric on.
i read a lot of great tutorials throughout this adventure, but these two were by far the most helpful:
- quilt design - in color order: warm cool quilt along
- binding - red pepper quilts: binding tutorial
supplies
front: [punctuation & recess layer cakes/american jane] moda
back: [recess layer cake/american jane] moda, [grey quilters linen] robert kaufman
binding: [basics book note border manilla/basicgrey] moda
size: 20"x20"
Oh my goodness! Hats off to you! This is a work of art!

Beautiful. Quilting is next on my list, but only when my mother's in town. You've really got a knack for anything that you put your mind too!
