Fabulous Finish....Number 5

 

This improv piece has been sitting

around for almost 2 years...

It has waited long enough.


The top consists of Pick Up Stix blocks...





This is a piece I hand dyed and

         silk screened.

I sliced it up and created borders...



The quilt top is ready to be basted and

go under the needle...




This is a small quilt so I am doing the

machine quilting on my Bernina Artista 200...





I am using a walking foot for the

simple, wavy, line quilting...





The white thread does not compete with

the pick up stix blocks

and shows up nicely in the borders...





Time to get this trimmed

and stitch on the binding...





I pawed through the cupboard and found this

hand dyed green for the binding...





Love these clips when binding...





I am stitching the binding on by machine

and pin these clips an inch apart

so the binding does not slip...



It has taken me a few years to master

a machine binding:


The binding looks great on the top side...





and the back side...



Here is the big reveal...

      Hi Jocelyn, I don't use the walking foot very much, but when I do it works wonderfully...keeping all of the layers together so nicely while machine quilting.

      Many thanks for your comment,
      LuAnn

    You make the more interesting fabric - I would find it difficult to cut it up!! Pickup Sticks is a great quilt pattern and your colors are so great! Beautiful finish!!

    Beautiful quilt. Good quilting design too. The border really set off those blocks. This would take a child waaay past the baby quilt time. They will treasure it I am sure.

    Thanks for showing all the calves. You got some great pictures.

      Hi Pam,
      Glad you are enjoying the calf images. The calves form groups and play hide 'n seek and tag....lots of FUN to watch them!

      Hugs,
