Fall Bloggers' Quilt Festival 2011--My Wacky Lap Quilt


Time for the Bloggers' Quilt Festival and I want to share my Wacky Quilt that I made last winter.
This quilt is special to me because my Mom and I had taken a class together for this lap quilt.  Mom had her quilted a long time ago and mine sat in a closet.  Last winter I decided to get it finished and I was practicing Free Motion Quilting.  The quilting wasn't really planned out.  I just started quilting.
Please know that I like to doodle in my sketch book a lot so I did have an idea of what I would like to try.


This was a very fun quilt and it reminds me of all the special times that I've had with my Mom.




This is the back of my quilt.  I do remember quilting from the center out and having a fit because the borders had ripples, of course, I called Mom.  She told me that I had nothing to worry about because the quilting in the center was causing the ripple effect and she was right!



Please put on something comfortable and get a cup of hot chocolate and join us with all the beautiful quilts at the Bloggers' Quilt Festival.

Happy Quilting!

    The back of your quilt is just as lovely as the front. Love the extra details you put into the machine quilting:)
