It is time to get this comfort quilt
under the needle...
This measures 72 inches square
so I am machine quilting it on my
Handi Quilter Sweet Sixteen...
The quilting is complete and I am
squaring up the quilt...
I used a clam shell ruler to
quilt the center...
I kept the design simple so it would
not complete with this large floral fabric.
Swirls and plume quilting design
in the pink border...
Feather quilting in the white border...
I matched the thread colors so they
would not stand out and complete with these
gorgeous, large floral fabrics...
It is quilted and trimmed and ready
for a binding...
I used the leftover fabric from the back side
to make the binding strips...
The binding is finished...
Time to take it outdoors
for a photo shoot:
This is a comfort quilt that I created quickly
from my stash of leftover floral fabrics...
Day One......Piecing
Day Two......Machine Quilting
Day Three......Binding and Label
I am shipping this quilt out today
to comfort someone I love...
When you cannot be there to give
someone a big, warm hug...
make them a quilt to wrap up in
and feel loved.

Another work of art, LuAnn! Do you use the ruler presser foot? If not, how do you make the "normal" one work?

Hi Maggie,
DeleteYes, I use the ruler foot on the Sweet Sixteen to make the clam shells. I also have a ruler foot for my Berninas that works with the ruler templates. It is FUN to change things up once in awhile and do some ruler work instead of free motion quilting.
Hugs,
LuAnn
You did a beautiful job quilting. I had a Handi Quilter Sweet Sixteen but never did very well with it. I ended up selling it. What kind of ruler foot do you use with your Bernina.
ReplyDeleteHi Jocelyn, Like all machines, there is a learning curve with the long arms. It took me awhile to get comfortable with my sweet sixteen. The Toga gauge was a game changer for me to get the perfect tension. Bernina makes a special Adjustable ruler foot #72 that works great for ruler quilting on a domestic machine. I am quite pleased with it.

LuAnn
