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?

It looks wonderful, I'm working on a baby quilt myself for my Goddaughter 's baby.
You may need a darning foot for quilting

Tim likes to help when I'm cutting out fabric too :)

I bought the fabric for my Easter dress. I hope it turns out (not wonky) and that Granny is brave enough to wear it on Easter Sunday! I like the looks of your cozy house. Cleo looks happy, too!
Happy quilting, good Elizabeth!
