Dottie Baby Quilt.....Machine Quilting

Day Two...

The dots have been appliqued...

The edges of the quilt top are trimmed...

To applique the dots I used

Superior Threads Monopoly and a blind hem stitch

It barely shows...

The back side of the quilt top...

I trimmed out the background fabric 

and interfacing.

I trimmed this out because the small 

dots on the white background fabric

were showing through the front side.

It also puckered a bit on the big dots

on the front side because of the

interfacing.

It lays much flatter now and will be

easier to baste together.

The quilt is spray basted...

I found the lavender dot fabric for the backing...

Machine Quilting:

I free motion quilted a spiral in the pink dot...

Then I put on a walking foot for the rest

of the spiral.

It will be one big spiral across the quilt.

Walking Foot...

This is as far as I got today...

More to come~

Baby Quilt 3.....Dots

I started the 3rd Baby Quilt today...

I pulled a few fabrics from the cupboard...

This Background fabric inspired the Quilt...

Auditioning fabrics...

I removed the big dot fabrics...

This brown fabric is....yummy!

Narrowed down to these fabrics...

This Easy Circle Cut Ruler makes circles.....FUN!

The solid fabrics are catching my eye...

I've decided to use only solid fabrics...

A few of these are my hand dyes...

Swiss Cheese Fabrics...

Turning the Edges on the circles:

Fusible Interface is the bottom 

layer....Fusible side Up

Circle on top......pretty side Down

Stitch 1/4 inch all the way around the circle.

Trim away the extra fusible on the edge...

Cut a slit in the Fusible Interface...

Turn the circle....right side Out

Finger press the edges...

All of the circles have a turned edge...

Next step.....Fusing down the circles then

stitching down the circles

Eventually I will trim the edges like this.

More to come...
