Finally....A Finish!!!

I finished my very first machine quilted baby quilt!

Take a good look,

because I'll NEVER do this again!

I was sweating and wrestling with my machine.

I have SO much respect for all of you

who machine quilt, especially the larger quilts!

I love the look, now that it's done,

but I'd rather have a root canal than do this again.

This little quilt is 36" by 36" and was made

using a pattern called Kylee's Kite by Quilt in a Day.

It took me longer than a day to make this

unless you count an actual 24 hours of sewing

and then I guess you could call it "a day".

For the front I used a charm pack of  "Lovely" by Moda

along with some pale yellow floral from my stash

and Kona Snow for the background.

I used a salmon gingham from Lakehouse for the binding.

The backing is butter yellow cotton sateen,

oh so soft and yummy with that wonderful sheen!!!

I used the scraps to make the Chevron border on the backside.

The quilt top was definitely FTS (fun to sew)

and I will make more of these

but I'll do the quilting by hand in the future :)

I'm listing this in my shop today.

Wish me luck!
