    Default Dogs In Sweaters Quilt - Finally Finished!

    I've been working on this quilt for a while. Lots of firsts in it for me. First time working with small pieces (1" cut squares), first time working with a pattern that required very accurate scant 1/4" seams, first time free motion quilting with my Juki 2200, first time using the ladder stitch for the binding. My seam ripper and I know each other very well now, but I got it done.

    I call it "Hot Rod Dogs".

    It was pieced on my 301 and my Featherweight and FMQ'd on my Juki 2200. It's no where near perfect, but I'm very happy with it. And I learned SO much.

    Its hanging on my design wall with another project underneath so ignore the bits that show on the sides.

    Thanks for looking.

    I LOVE it. We have a dachshund & the one with the sun glasses reminds me of him...cool dog with an attitude. Their sweaters are so cute & really like the FM quilting you did on it. TFS

    Thanks. I didn't know what to do for the quilting and was playing with my new Juki and came up with that. It was easy to do and I think it came out pretty well.
