That's what my friend said when I asked her about what style of quilt our God-daughter would like for her 18th birthday!
I found some lovely dog fabric online and it inspired the colour choices for the rest of the fabrics:
I made this block and then just built around it:
Friends know I am challenged by straight line quilting - whether, it's me, my machine, the way I baste (spray not pin)?? Who knows ... but I gave it a go on this one using my zig-zag stitch. I put my gloves on, I went slow, I gripped (and it hurt my shoulder!) This was what happened with the walking foot on:
But it didn't happen when I just had the ordinary foot on?? Go figure ... so I quilted it without the walking foot, persevered and after a glass (or 2!) of the white stuff:
And using both my chins:
It was done ... Phew!
Finished sewing the label on this afternoon and took a few garden photos:
I love it! I think she will too ... dogs and girly colours she has! Linking up with Amanda Jean @ Crazy Mom Quilts and Sarah @ Confessions of a Fabric Addict

This is lovely: really restful girly colours. It's sure to be a big hit!
ReplyDeleteA very pretty finish! I too struggle with the quilting but I keep practicing!
ReplyDeleteVery girly! How fun great job.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love how the dark pink moves your eye across the quilt. When I use the walking foot I don't roll the quilt, because then it can be more like moving a log through the machine. Do you think it would be easier it the quilt was a little more saggy?
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt! I have trouble quilting with a walking foot, too, and usually don't use one. I'm sure she will love the quilt. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely girly quilt!! Fabulous job, as always and I'm sure she will be delighted!
