I finished sewing the binding on my row by row quilt today. This quilt went together quickly and easily. I used a jelly roll and some yardage to make this quilt.
Unfortunately it spent a few weeks half-completed on the longarmer since my poor machine stopped working in the middle of quilting. Everything is good now and as soon as the machine was repaired and back, I finished quilting it in no time.
I quilted it using a pantograph called Folkart Flowers and Birds. It was a nice complement to the pretty flower prints in the fabrics. All bright and cheery.
The pattern is from the February 2011 issue of American Patchwork and Quilting. Making a quilt from an older magazine helps me justify keeping those old magazines around. Ha!
I think I will get a Christmas themed pantograph to use to quilt the pieces once I have them completed. I'm using my Sweetwater fabric collection to make these. I have two years' worth of their Christmas fabrics and I don't want to save them any more. It's time to use them for cute things! I've collected so much of their fabrics that I could make quite a few small projects.
