That looks great!

Did you have a hard time piecing all the different types of fabric? I have a whole lot of scrap minky and satin and other such fuzzy or soft things and was thinking of doing a scrappy quilt with it some day...but I don't know how well it will piece together...

It looks great! And a walking foot may not be a must, but it sure makes your quilting life a lot easier. I also use mine when I'm attaching the binding...wow! What a difference!

Ms. Shawn...a walking foot is also sometimes called an even feed foot. It feeds the bottom layer of the sandwich through at the same speed as the top. Helps keep from getting wrinkles and puckers in the sandwich as you quilt. The fabric doesn't crawl as much.
