Aww, I think you just want me to send it along with that quilt! :lol:

It's a big one, a little over 7" high and a little over 13" around - I'm starting on a hand quilting project and wanted one big enough to put a bunch of threaded needles in. I just stuffed it with Polyfill, since I have other emerys around. Not my design; the pattern is from The Pattern Basket. It makes 2 from 2 layer cake squares and a strip - I just finished the twin :lol:

I use a Designer 1, and the embroidery foot is what they suggest for free motion quilting - I've always used the hopping foot, but decided since this was a small piece I'd give it a try. Let's just say the hopping foot is worth what it cost and then some :wink:
