So I'm Finally Getting Some Quilting Done!
Many of you read my post about a lot of Layer Cake quilt tops that I made. Well, I'm finally getting around to completing the quilting on them. I put more info on my other blog http://moderntraditionquilts.blogspot.com as it can hold more information.
I love all quilts done with Baptist Fans. For those of you who do machine quilt, I put pics of how I quilted the three different borders.
Back side!
Another quilt top. I used an edge-to-edge Dahlia design whose threadpaths I just "invented". I was worried about using red thread on the entire top but it worked out nicely. Here's a close-up:
Happy Quilting!

Hello Everyone!
Thank you for your kind comments. Mary, good luck with your class--getting the results I wanted is why I learned how to machine quilt too. Our local area has a machine quilting guild which taught me (for free I may add) a lot of really good tips. And, if you can go to a longarm conference, take a class from Pam Clarke. Her classes are worth way more than she charges and she gives out booklets of information and ensures a lot of quilting time on the machines.
BTW, thanks for your compliments on our little pink daughter--we love her too!

You do beautiful work. I signed up for a long arm quilting class, haven't always been 100% pleased with end results when I had them quilted. So figured I better learn to do it myself. Class is next month. Love the various pattern you used.
Looked at your blog- your daughter is beautiful. Love the tutu, looks good with Ariel.
