I have been frantically working on a wedding quilt for Trent and Haillie’s wedding present. I was running right down to the last hours. The wedding is Saturday and I put the last stitches in the binding last night. It’s such a relief to have it finished!
The quilt is from Schnibbles Times Two: Quilts from 5″ or 10″ Squares (That Patchwork Place)
I had won the kit a year or more ago from a contest Charming Chatter had hosted. I love the color selection….and want to thank all of you who offered fabric when I miss cut.
Here’s my quilting on the quilt. It’s isn’t marvelous as this is the first time I have used The Pajama Quilter’s Funky Feathers. I can see there is a lot I need to work on to improve but for the first time trying it’s okay. A couple times my leaves flattened out…a couple times I overlapped on the swirls but all in all…okay. My machine isn’t really steady and it’s hard to overlap stitching.
I will definitely be trying the Funky Feathers again…next time, I won’t be using it on a quilt that I need to get done by a deadline though. Once I got in the groove it was okay but like with anything new, the first little bit can be challenging.
I debated about whether I wanted to show a close up of the quilting but then thought…heck, I am an honest gal and I can admit, I don’t do anything perfectly….
I am really looking forward to the wedding and wish them both MANY happy years!!
Today I am hooking up with Confession of a Fabric Addict. This was my June UFO. Check out Patchwork times to see more UFO progress.
The quilt looks lovely. You’ve done a great job of the quilting.
The quilting DOES look marvelous! Funky Feathers was obviously designed to have a fun-filled whimsical look to it and your quilting captures that light-hearted mood. After all, you wouldn’t want it to look all stiff and formal now, would you??? Relax, you did great!
That is a beautiful quilt!
Your wedding quilt is gorgeous. The quilting is lovely. We all learn with practice.
Your quilt is beautiful. I thought your quilting looked good also. I really need to practice fmq as I want to be able to do it on my quilts. I enjoy reading your blog.
That’s a great quilt, thanks for the link. I”ll definitely be giving that a try. LOVE the quilt, looks perfect to me : )
I love the color/fabric selection. I though your quilting was amazing – I still pay for that:).
You did such a fantastic job on the quilt and quilting looks great! I’d be thrilled if my quilting looked half as good. The new couple will be honored with such a work of art. ;-> Toni Anne
You did an amazing job. I bet they love it.
What a great wedding gift! Congrats on finishing before your deadline!
It’s fabulous and I KNOW they will treasure it for years too come! You are too hard on yourself! I would be over the moon if I could quilt like that! I really like the thread you used for the quilting too!
Oh, Jo!! Kudos! And no regrets on “not perfection”. It is a beautiful quilt, made with love, that they will treasure forever!
Great job!! :-)

Gorgeous! I only wish I could quilt as good as that…I’m having to do what little (bad!) quilting I can do on my mother-in-law’s machine, which is not even a long arm. My Singer absolutely can NOT do quilting…piecing, yes, but not quilting. I think you did a great job!
