Quilting Fun?



Recently I finished a baby quilt for my brother Mark and his wife Lani who are expecting a baby any time between now and the end of the month. It turned into a more elaborate project than I intended but now that it's done I'm happy with how it turned out. I learned how to machine quilt from an online tutorial. Since I don't especially care for hand quilting I thought this would be a fairly easy alternative and allow me greater freedom in the finished design of the quilt. 10 hours and five needles later I decided that it wasn't necessarily easier, though I'd hate to think how long it would have taken me to finish all of that by hand.
