Sewing Solids

Today....
While sewing with friends...
I put BIG. UGLY. STITCHES.
Into my quilt.
 
I was dreading this job,
so I waited until I had friends to talk with!
It made a tedious job go MUCH faster!

Basting this quilt is the FIRST step
to a hand quilted FINISH!

Here's the backing.
Isn't this GREAT fabric???
IKEA to the rescue!
;)
Glad I found some fabric that I REALLY, really like
since I'll be spending LOTS of time with this one!

I put a few quilting stitches in....
It's now ALL ready to be my
TAKE along project!!!
Just in TIME!......
 
Soccer practice is TONIGHT!
;)

Quilt.....check
Needle and Thread....check
Scissors.....check
I'm set!!!

    I just found your blog and your " dump and sew " technique. Terrific! It's on my list to try! Thanks.

    I love your big black stitches show up on this beautiful mix of solids. Good for you, basting it! I get lazy and just use the safety pins. But they're not fun to carry around. This will keep you warm and happy at the soccer games.

    Mmmm the quilting is pretty. This is going to be a stunning quilt! I keep seeing more and more solids and feel inspired... But never seem to want to buy solids for my stash...
