I made a single little block last night to try my hand with machine quilting. I finished the block and put binding on it. I just close one eye, don't look closely, and call it good. Now I will probably tuck it away somewhere out of sight! : :?

Would love to see a pic. :wink:

Did you like doing it on a machine? Would love to see a picture.

cjomomma 08-24-2010 06:13 PM

I it can't be that bad now show us a picture, please.

I think I like machine quilting - only problem is I forget that I am supposed to move the quilt around. Well, you talked me into it. I'll see if I can get a "good" pic.

I didn't know how to post a pic here so I went back to "Main". I'm a dummy!

I just figured it out!

cizzors 08-24-2010 06:54 PM

If that were mine, it would be hanging on the wall! Great job!

ganny 08-24-2010 06:59 PM

I may hang it. You girls are encouraging! Thanks.

Great job. Hang it on the wall so it will be handy to compare your improvement as time goes by!

Good idea.

cjomomma 08-24-2010 07:23 PM

You should be proud of it. Put it out there and show it off.

It was harder than I thought it would be but no stuck fingers! :P

lisainmo 08-24-2010 07:29 PM

That looks great you should be so proud of yourself!

np3 08-24-2010 07:33 PM

I really like it. I think you should hang it too!

GrammaNan 08-24-2010 08:08 PM

Nice! Don't hide them, be proud of them! Put a loop on it and call it a pot holder!!

Dee 08-24-2010 08:17 PM

Very pretty. Hang it up with pride.

watson's mom 08-24-2010 08:38 PM

I love your block and the colour combination is perfect for it. What is the block called. Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work.

kristen0112 08-24-2010 08:44 PM

Good job on your first machine quilting! And congratulations on figuring out how to post photos LOL It took me a time or two as well - computers :-)

tooMuchFabric 08-24-2010 09:01 PM

If it found its way to my house it would be hanging on my wall right now.
I like it that much.

Boscobd 08-24-2010 09:05 PM

Great job on the quilting. And, the block is gorgeous. I agree, hang it on the wall with pride. The thing about FM quilting, tho, is that it's addicting (at least for me)!!

This website is addictive!!

T-Bones mom 08-25-2010 02:07 AM

That is beautiful. Much better than I could ever do. Display it proudly.

jbud2 08-25-2010 03:29 AM

I'd look for a piece of blue ribbon and pin it on that block. "Best First Try by Me" category!!

jrhboxers 08-25-2010 03:39 AM

That is beautiful!!! You should be extremely proud. Show it off proudly. The best way to learn is by doing. And you can only improve with practice.

Juliebelle 08-25-2010 03:44 AM
