Ok so it has been a while since I have blogged any thing. Of course that means it has been a long time since I have quilted. But today I have gotten back on track. I have accomplished several things today.


1.) Cut and sewed together the backing. ( I am still in love with this fabric)


2.) Basted the quilt together. This I did on my wall, yes I said wall. I am way to pregos to be basting on the floor, so I taped the backing on the wall sprayed the basting spray and went to town. See picture below.


3.) Started quilting the quilt.


here are some pictures of what I accomplished today...

This is a picture of the bottom, I put Laurens name on it but I do not like the way it looks, I am just going to hope that it looks better once I quilt it down.

Here is the design that I am quilting in to the quilt.

Another one of the design laid out...

Here is one of me basting the quilt using the wall. Here I am half way done.

So I started quilting it, but I am having issues... My tension is way off, but I have not figured out how to fix it so that my thread does not break and I do not end up with a rats nest in the back.

I am hoping to have it completed early next week, grant it that I get the tension figured out. ;{
