Sewing~a small baby doll sized panel!~godson's quilt work continues

I am in the process of making a

1 panel sized quilt.

It's my practice panel for doing the quilting on the 

full sized quilt I am making of this and other 'Thomas panels'

for my godson's quilt. 

*

I was hoping to do some 'swirls' as a design but

I am having issues with the needle and the machine when I try to do so.

My friend is coming over this week and we will try to figure this out,

as she and I have the same machine.

So meanwhile I used my walking foot to make strait lines

and like how this looks.

For this quilt, I am going to do something like this,

I think it fits in well with the panels and 

gives it a good sense of movement.

And good for a first large quilt.

I am going to try to match up the lines in each panel 

as I think that will look neat and pleasing to the eye.

This 1 panel quilt is practice and is not fully lined up.

*

I hope to learn to bind it soon and have a finished object!

*

I am so glad I get to do this!

What are you creating and doing this week?
