Ella's Quilt

This week I decided to join Amy's 

I wanted to make sure I finished Ella's baby quilt,
and this was a good way to insure I did it!
I love the colors on this quilt, very bright and girlie.
You can see how it started here.




I did very organic channel quilting.
It's about every half inch, I used the side of my walking foot 
as a guide.


I saw this fence at the beach the other day and knew it had to 
be one of my new photo venues!


Here is the back with her name.


Sewing on the binding in the comfort of AC.


Another beachy shot.


And I couldn't resist this photo of all the kayaks.
LOVE those colors.

So thanks so much to Amy for throwing down the gauntlet,
and getting me to finish this quilt!
Now it's all ready for baby Ella to use.

  2. Funny. I gave my great niece her quilt this weekend too. It sat finished for close to a month just waiting for a label. So I guess I met Amy's challenge without even knowing it. Yay! Take care, Byrd.

  3. Love that fabric under your presser foot! You take really interesting and colorful photos (like the kayaks) of the world around you. I think you must be very observant.
