Finally Finished!

I FINALLY finished my very first free motion quilted quilt! And I’m SO excited about it! If you follow me on Facebook, then you might remember about a month and a half ago, that I was working on the binding. The binding took me FOREVER to finish! I’ve had lots of other projects in between too, though. Once I had some time, I sat down and went to town and the binding actually went pretty quickly.
I LOVE how this turned out! I never thought I’d love quilting, but I do.This is what the front looks like. I didn’t follow a pattern of any kind, I just cut the fabric and pieced it together.Here is a close up of the quilting. I used a darning foot and did the Free Motion Quilting {FMQ} on my little Bernina machine. I LOVE that I know how to do this now!I also pieced the back. I realize this is pretty wrinkled, that’s what happens when it sits folded up for a long while, waiting to have the binding done.Here is a close up of the binding. For not really having a clue how to bind a quilt, I’m pleased with how it turned out. I followed this tutorial for the binding.Now that I’ve finished this quilt, it makes me want to try something a little more challenging, but maybe I’ll wait until after the holidays…then maybe I’ll have a little more time. Who am I kidding, I’m a mom of four. 🙂
