ticker tape quilt

Just a little photo showing how my first quilting step is free motion quilting all around the edge before quilting into the center.

I had some pieces of fabric left over from my oldest daughters' wedding quilt(whole different entry) So I whacked them up and made a ticker tape quilt. Here you can see some construction details and you can also see the cute little doggy print that my friend Ann gave me.

( tutorial by Amanda Jean http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/?p=2311 ) I pinned the pieces to the quilt sandwich with straight pins.

Here is the finished quilt before being thrown into the dryer with a couple of wet towels.

Here is the quilt after it comes out of the dryer.
