D4P Black/White/Brights Swap - Finished quilt pics
Here's my finished quilt from the b/w and brights D4P swap in December. It was a really windy day yesterday, so I had my daughter hold the quilt over the railing and my DGD to hold each corner. That's the only place I could take a good pic of it since the ground is still drying out after our winter weather last week.
I used this quilt to practice my FMQing and followed Sharon Shaumber's instructions to attach the binding. Makes for a straight and strong binding.
My FMQ leaves a lot to be desired, a lot of the reason being my machine only has a 6.5" throat space and it's hard as heck to fit a 68"x68" quilt in that little area. But I did.
Now on to more challenges. Going to try to enter a wall hanging into a quilt show.

Looks really nice, you can always add the betting in sections so there is not so muc bulk under the arm, there is a craftsy class about quilting on small machine, haven't taken it yet but ann peterson is just so good that I have already taken 2 of her classes
