I found that I just had to stitch slower than normal and have a firm grip on both sides (above and below the pressure foot) of the fabric to keep a consistent seam.

Opps, and I just noticed, the backing picture that I posted is for another quilt that I did with the same fabric on the front and the same Minkee backing. The third quilt was actually quilted with medium meandering. I will post that other quilt at another time.

I have found out if you use your walking foot when putting the binding on, it makes it go much smoother, or if your machine has a built in walking foot be sure and use it when doing the binding.

These are gorgeous. I have made one quilt with this pattern and loved how quickly it went together.

thanks for telling us the pattern name and company. I didn't have much luck searching just by pattern but good luck with company. I ordered the pattern and looking forward to receiving it and making some of these quilts.

Yours are awesome
