I finally decided to quilt a loopy design on the borders of this quilt. I wasn't happy with how this corner turn looked, so I took those stitches out and redid the quilting.
I am now happier with the quilting on the corners, even though some of the loops are a little wobbly. It was a fun and quick way to quilt the border.
When I needed a break from machine quilting (you know how your shoulders and arms get tired and you need a stretch?) I sorted and cut dotty scraps for this quilt and then pin basted a little on this quilt....making slow progress on each of these projects.Then I'd go back to quilting the black and yellow quilt. I had enough fabric with the project to make the binding from the rest of the black fabric with a little of the yellow. And here is the finished quilt! The size is 58" x 77". It will be donated to the community outreach project of my guild which collects quilts for the Pediatric Sexual Assault unit at hospital.

Very nice quiltng. And, done with your domestic right? You do a great job. And doesn't it feel great to finish a UFO (even someone else's!)?
Yes Bonnie...I have a Brother 1500...a real work horse for the last 10 years.
What a pretty quilt -- I'm always in awe of those who can do any kind of free-motion quilting.
The machine quilting must be catching because I quilted one yesterday myself.
I like the way you work, bouncing from one project to another. It is a great way to work and not get bored and yet get things done.
That is a lovely quilt. The coloring is exquisite.
Love the quilt now it's finished. Great idea for the quilted corners
Love and hugs Gina xxx
I love the corners!
