Default Five Yards Later...

The borders and sashing are finished on this little quilt. This was a fun project started in class last month at the LQS. We asked our teacher to help us add the stippling around each design on our EMB machines. I used scrap pieces for the first row of sashing around each block. Auditioned many fabrics from closet stash for the next row of sashing/borders and nothing worked.

There was one FQ dedicated for a different project that would work. A trip to the LQS to see if there was any of it left. I only needed 15 inches WOF for sashing and 14 inches WOF for borders. Here we are five yards later...

The embroidery blocks already have one layer of batting. I will add another full piece of batting and the backing. Then attempt quilting on the EMB machine. We shall see how it goes.

Beautiful work Rhonda. I've used my embroidery feature a few times in the making of quilts. It is a process that can be so rewarding. Looks like you are well on your way. Love the fabric!

I love your quilt and very envious about being able to take a class for the machine embroidery quilting. I have being trying to find a local place to take a class and haven't found any. My biggest hoop is 7.5 in. x 12 in. Also, I would love to take a class on the ruler quilting. I have the feet for my machines. But would love to take a class so I learn to do it with someone watching me and letting me know how I can improve.
