Remember this Round Robin quilt that I posted about 2 years ago on April 19, 2014? In my last paragraph I made this statement – “I’m now busy hand quilting the centre piece using DMC Perle 8 thread, using a number 9 quilting needle. It’s a bit of a bugger as the needle eye is a bit small!” Well the hand quilting did happen, for a little bit then it got unhand quilted and machine quilted.
In my last post “More babies …” March 19, 2016 I mentioned that I quilted a “cover” while the baby quilt was being made. Well this is the quilt.
I quilted it on my HQ Sweet Sixteen as all the “stitch in the ditch” was done. I practice my free motion quilting using stencils in the following borders, twirl on first strip, and leaf on the checker board and heart on the green fabric. Then I got brave and pulled out the curved rule and quilted feathers on the light purple and in the last strip fabric. This was lots of fun!
Hope you all had a great Easter? I did. We went a way for a bit that’s why it’s been a bit quite here at Buzy Day.
Love to all.

Ooooh! Total love!!! Love the beautiful work.
Thank you.
This is spectacular! Great job doing your machine quilting, both pretty and elegant!
Thanks Melanie
Wow! It’s been worth the wait to see this one finished!
It’s has been! Thanks Kate
Very impressive anyway you look at it. Why make arthritic hands when you have a perfectly good machine to do the hard work for you. Every bit as creative if you ask me. It’s a stunning quilt.
You so right! Thank you
Your round robin friends did well by you, integrating their borders with your center. Your quilting designs finish it off well.
