Quilting Gallery Contest Entry

I entered my newest FINISH in the weekly Quilting Gallery Contest. Click the link, go to Quilters Fun to see all the quilts entered and give me a Vote. 
It looks even better now that it is off the quilting table. I had to take it outside in the sun for a picture or two. 
 I love how the sunlight shines through. 
 I am even daring to show the back with my quilting....
It is pinned ready for me to hand stitch it down.  
I'm waiting to hear what her name is so I can add her Name to the Label.
She's was Born July 25th... in the WEEE hours.  I got a TEXT.
Congrats Brant and Tina!

I want to make this one again and again, maybe one with Boyish colors. What do you think??
It's went together really easy using the Go Cutter!

As a Side note: I saw a Link on Facebook that said in 1978 the first "Test Tube Baby" Louise Joy Brown was born in England, July 25th.  It's been a Great week for Babies.  Must have been that Super MOON!

Design Wall Monday - July 22, 2013

I did it! Be-Ribboned #2 is QUILTED and off the Table. It's not as good as I wanted but the Baby will not care, right?  Don't look too close at the un-regulated stitches.  I'm still practicing on that.  I do like the "Pebbles" I did around the Go Flowers. This was the sneak peek I showed my friend Saturday night at the Baseball game. She wants to make my Quilt too.  Yea, now to finish the pattern writing.

 Swirly Quilting on the corners
 Close-up of the Feather Border
Janet O asked to see an example of my Feathers.  
 I  quilted up to the stroke of Midnight Saturday night so I had the final Feathers in the border to do this Morning.  I took the quilt out and turned it so I could quilt it in one pass. 
The stitches are pretty big but they blend in pretty good with the faux stitches in the border fabric.
 My favorite part is Cutting it off the leaders!!! 
Sorry, Tina I didn't have enough of the Border fabric for the back.
The final result- before Binding.
I must have had the backing too tight on that bottom border, opps. Lessons learned.

The Baby Girl "Katie's Choice" quilt needs to be finished next. I just have to decide on the quilting.
The letters are all made for the Fair Banner.  I'll work on this more this coming week-end. 

I found more of the background fabric I needed while Shop Hopping in Pendleton. 
I didn't end up going to the rest of the shops this past week-end, I was too busy Quilting. 
Only 5 more weeks until the FAIR!

I'm linking up to Patchworktimes as usual this Monday...HERE
