Quilt - Finished!

I finally got the lap quilt done! I got the pattern from Layer Cake, Jelly Roll & Charm Pack Quilts by Pam and Nicky Lintott.  It's the first quilt I've ever done, and I really enjoyed it.   I used this tutorial for the binding and it came out perfect the first time. Seriously awesome.

I'm almost finished with the top of Savi's quilt - I'm using this Moda Bake Shop Tutorial to make it and it's been even faster than the first one. Plus I have a quarter inch foot now for my new machine and that helps alot.

I made the skirt too, see this tutorial!
See you guys in a day or two with another skirt tutorial - this one's for a pleated skirt, elastic waist - easy!

    Awww, thanks so much! I love your blog - it's really useful! I just ordered a tailors dummy because I'm getting frustrated making straight skirts - I'm too curvy and darts are going to be way easier on a dummy...i hope! I'm really new to making my own clothes; usually it's just handbags and backpacks.

    Good luck with your quilt! Show us when you get the top done! I don't know tons about quilts, but do have useful quilting links on the links page you can check out if you get stuck!
